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
