• Lead projects from conceptual design through construction administration.
• Coordinate electrical systems with mechanical, architectural, structural, and other project disciplines.
• Work directly with architects, owners, contractors, and other clients.
• Perform electrical calculations, equipment selection, code analysis, and system evaluations.
• Review contractor submittals and shop drawings.
• Respond to RFIs and provide engineering support during construction.
• Participate in site visits, field observations, and assessments of existing electrical systems.
• Manage project schedules, deliverables, and client expectations.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and designers.
• Contribute to the continued growth of RCE's electrical engineering practice.

Candidates should meet all of the following requirements:

• 5+ years of professional electrical engineering experience.
• 5+ years of experience working within an MEP consulting engineering firm and/or A/E design firm.
• Demonstrated experience designing electrical/MEP systems for commercial or institutional buildings.

• Client-facing project management experience.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and designers.
• Familiarity with energy-efficient and sustainable building design.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate comes from an established MEP consulting or architecture/engineering environment and has spent their career designing electrical systems for buildings rather than industrial equipment, manufacturing processes, utilities, or product development.

They are highly proficient in Revit, comfortable taking ownership of projects, and capable of communicating directly with architects, owners, contractors, and internal engineering teams. They are looking for an opportunity where they can have a meaningful impact on projects and play a significant role in the continued growth of a smaller engineering firm.
