Electrical Engineer - Building Systems & Power Distribution

Zen Sherpa LLC · Reno, NV · 1 mo ago
On-siteEngineeringFull-time

About the Role

We're growing our engineering team in Henderson and looking for an Electrical Engineer who wants to design real building-systems projects and see them come to life quickly. You'll support the design of power distribution, lighting, grounding, and low-voltage systems for modular buildings used in commercial, multifamily, hospitality, and industrial applications. This role is ideal for engineers early in their career who want hands-on experience, direct collaboration with mechanical and architectural teams, and the chance to see their work built in a controlled manufacturing environment. We welcome candidates with EIT status or strong building-systems design experience.

Responsibilities

  • Assist in designing electrical building systems: power distribution, lighting, grounding, and low-voltage
  • Prepare load calculations, panel schedules, one-line diagrams, and equipment layouts
  • Support NEC and building-code compliance reviews
  • Coordinate with mechanical, structural, and architectural teams to integrate MEP systems
  • Work with fabrication and field teams during assembly, testing, and commissioning
  • Review vendor submittals and verify equipment compatibility
  • Help standardize electrical design packages for modular building production
  • Troubleshoot design or installation issues with senior engineers

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 2-6 years of experience in building electrical design (commercial, multifamily, industrial, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of NEC fundamentals, power distribution, and lighting design
  • Ability to read and produce construction drawings (Revit or AutoCAD preferred)
  • Experience with modular, prefabricated, or off-site construction is a plus
  • Strong communication skills and willingness to learn in a fast-paced environment

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Fast project cycles — see your designs built and tested quickly
  • Work directly with engineering, manufacturing, and leadership teams
  • Competitive compensation and full benefits
  • Opportunity to grow into more advanced design responsibilities over time
  • High-impact work on modular building projects across multiple industries

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and Bonus
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off
  • 401(k)
  • Relocation assistance available
  • Career growth in a rapidly expanding modular-construction environment
