Design Engineer – Division 26E

About the role

Do you enjoy bridging the gap between design and field execution in complex electrical infrastructure environments? We’re looking for a technically driven and highly collaborative Engineer – Division 26E to support the planning, coordination, and execution of critical electrical infrastructure systems across large-scale and mission-critical construction projects. In this role, you’ll work closely with subcontractors, BIM/VDC teams, design partners, and field leadership to ensure Division 26E infrastructure scope is coordinated, constructable, and ready for execution before work reaches the field. You’ll play a key role in translating design intent into field-ready work packages that support installation sequencing, workfront readiness, and efficient project delivery. From supports and conveyance systems to grounding, bonding, and rough-in infrastructure, you’ll help drive technical coordination and execution continuity from design development through turnover.

Responsibilities

• Coverage of infrastructure scope with subcontractors and trade partners to validate layouts, constructability, installation assumptions, and field access requirements
• Support coordinated work package development for supports, conveyance systems, grounding and bonding, rough-in infrastructure, and prerequisite releases
• Aid in converting design intent into practical, field-executable installation plans aligned with construction sequencing and workfront readiness
• Coordinate closely with BIM/VDC, technical leadership, field operations, and design teams to identify and close scope gaps prior to field release
• Participate in design-assist and design-build coordination efforts focused on constructability, installation feasibility, and execution readiness
• Assist with submittals, RFIs, revisions, and technical documentation to maintain alignment with project requirements and evolving field conditions
• Support updates to drawings and documentation based on field conditions, revisions, and as-built requirements
• Coordinate between Division 26E and adjacent trades to ensure alignment across shared systems and infrastructure interfaces
• Help ensure technical completeness and readiness for commissioning, testing, and turnover activities

Systems & Infrastructure

• Serves as the backbone of mission-critical environments
• Includes supports, conduit systems, cable pathways, grounding and bonding systems, rough-in infrastructure, and enabling electrical systems
• Collaborates with electrical systems, low-voltage infrastructure, structural systems, and adjacent construction trades
• Utilizes BIM/VDC coordination, field layout integration, and constructability-driven planning processes

What You Bring

• 3–6+ years of experience supporting electrical construction, infrastructure coordination, or engineering-related project environments
• Working knowledge of Division 26E systems including supports, conveyance, grounding and bonding, and rough-in infrastructure
• Understanding of construction sequencing, installation methods, and constructability principles
• Ability to interpret design drawings and translate technical intent into coordinated, field-ready work packages
• Familiarity with design-assist and design-build project delivery models
• Exposure to BIM/VDC coordination tools and model-based construction workflows preferred
• Exposure to RFIs, submittals, revisions, and field change management processes
• Strong coordination and communication skills across subcontractors, field teams, and design partners
• Strong problem-solving mindset with focus on constructability and execution outcomes
• Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, schedule-driven construction environments
• Exposure to data center or mission-critical infrastructure projects is a plus
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred, or equivalent industry experience
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification preferred
• EIT or related technical certification is a plus

What’s in It for You?

• Support complex infrastructure systems that serve as the backbone of mission-critical environments
• Work alongside experienced engineers, BIM/VDC professionals, project leaders, and field teams to solve real-world execution challenges
• Build technical coordination and construction execution expertise within a growing, high-performance environment
• Every project presents new opportunities to solve technical challenges and improve execution outcomes
• Comprehensive compensation package including benefits, professional development opportunities, and long-term career growth

Work Environment

• Operates within both office and active construction site environments
• Responsibilities may include standing, walking, climbing, bending, kneeling, and lifting up to 50 pounds while supporting field coordination and installation activities
• Close visual attention is required for reviewing plans, technical documentation, and field conditions
• To support business operations and team collaboration, preference will be given to candidates based in Texas, North Carolina, New Jersey, Virginia, Illinois, South Carolina, or Louisiana
