About the Position
The Electrical Engineer is responsible for developing and preparing high-quality electrical engineering permit drawings and construction documents to support field electricians on complex electrical installations, in alignment with all Company policies, procedures, key objectives and regulations. This role bridges engineering and construction by working closely with field electricians, project managers, designers, and VDC/BIM teams to deliver fully constructible designs across a wide range of projects, from small Design/Build efforts to some of the largest hyper-scale construction projects in the country. In addition to permit drawing development, the Electrical Engineer reviews outside engineering documents for accuracy and constructability, identifies value engineering opportunities, as well as perform engineering studies such as arc flash, short circuit, duct bank ampacity, power factor correction, and lighting. This position provides hands-on field exposure, troubleshooting experience, and a career path requiring professional licensure.
