• Evaluate existing facilities through field investigations and site visits.
• Coordinate design requirements with architectural, mechanical, and structural teams.
• Support submittal review, construction administration, and project delivery.

Requirements

• Hands-on proficiency producing drawings in AutoCAD and/or Revit.
• Experience with building power distribution, lighting, panel schedules, and construction documents.
• Previous work within MEP consulting, architecture and engineering, or building design.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and work effectively in a fast-moving consulting environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Educational, municipal, civic, commercial, or institutional building experience.
• Exposure to 5 kV or 15 kV systems, switchgear, transformers, substations, or duct banks.
• EIT, FE, PE, or interest in completing the professional licensure process.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation based on experience.
• Bonus potential.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Relocation assistance.

Why this opportunity

• High level of technical involvement and visibility.
• Clear opportunity to grow from design execution into project ownership.
• Collaborative multidisciplinary environment with an established project portfolio.
