Position Overview

Are you an experienced electrical design professional ready to step out of the production queue and lead multi-faceted project teams from conceptual layout to final construction? We are seeking a Lead Electrical Designer / Engineer to direct and elevate our trade-specific engineering initiatives. In this role, you will serve as both a technical authority and a project manager—leading project teams, quarterbacking complex trade-specific schematics, and maintaining technical mastery across intricate building systems.

Joining our team means stepping into a culture built on technical excellence, structured quality control, and proactive leadership. As a Job Captain and technical mentor, you will drive project delivery across the full project lifecycle, optimize BIM/CAD workflows, and directly influence the professional development of junior engineers. This is a high-visibility, career-defining platform for a senior professional to sharpen their management capabilities, elevate client experiences, and deliver legacy-building infrastructure.

Core Responsibilities

• Technical Leadership & System Design: Direct the complete electrical design process for complex building projects, independently generating intricate electrical room layouts, advanced equipment selections, calculations, and custom sequences of operations with functional mastery.

• Project Stewardship & Lifecycle Ownership: Function as the project Job Captain from start to finish—quarterbacking interdisciplinary coordination, managing project folder architectures, maintaining tight timelines, and ensuring seamless execution across all phases.

• Team Management & Staff Development: Directly supervise and mentor a dedicated team of design professionals, guiding their career trajectories, elevating Level 3/junior engineering competencies, and managing workload delegation to strict deadlines.

• Quality Assurance & Risk Prevention: Own the end-to-end quality control pipeline by auditing background drawing sets/XREFs, conducting rigorous drawing checks, maintaining complete checklist histories, and resolving design gaps prior to document issuance.

• Construction Administration & Field Services: Provide authoritative leadership during construction administration, conducting existing condition surveys, reviewing shop drawings and submittals, preparing due diligence reports, and executing thorough field observations.

• Codes, Standards, & Specifications: Apply advanced knowledge of local and national building codes (including Florida Building Code, NEC, and local municipality guidelines) while developing master technical specifications using firm templates.

• Client & Stakeholder Communication: Act as the primary technical point of contact for clients, architects, consultants, vendors, and internal multidisciplinary teams, conveying complex engineering scopes with clarity, urgency, and composure under pressure.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree (4-year) in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.

• Experience: Minimum 6 years of experience working as an Electrical Designer or Engineer within a professional engineering consulting firm, including at least 2 years in a Senior Designer role under the supervision of a licensed PE.

• Leadership Track Record: Minimum 2 years of direct experience leading multidisciplinary engineering projects of varying scales and complexities, with demonstrated success managing direct reports.

• Software Proficiency: Working knowledge of REVIT and AutoCAD, combined with advanced proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite.

• Technical Mastery: Proven ability to independently analyze existing conditions, troubleshoot complex electrical system challenges, and author robust due diligence reports with cost estimations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Licensure: Active Florida Professional Engineer (PE) License or EIT on a rapid track to PE licensure.

• Regional Code Expertise: Hands-on experience navigating Florida Building Code (FBC), NEC compliance, and local South Florida municipal permitting processes.

• BIM Strategy: Advanced proficiency in BIM workflows, digital project setup, model coordination, and automated drafting standards.

• Sector Versatility: Prior experience managing MEP project teams within commercial, institutional, healthcare, or hospitality environments in South Florida.
