Electrical Engineer / Designer – MEP Building Systems

About the role

Build Great Work. Keep Learning. Own Your Career. We are seeking a talented, forward-thinking Electrical Engineer with 2–5 years of MEP experience to join our Houston team. At T&D Engineers, we believe great engineering comes from a combination of technical excellence, curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning. Our engineers and senior designers take pride in mentoring the next generation while continuing to learn themselves. You will have meaningful project responsibility and technical autonomy, while working alongside experienced professionals who are invested in your development. This is an opportunity for an engineer who wants to do more than copy redlines in AutoCAD or Revit. You will be involved in the full lifecycle of projects, collaborate directly with experienced engineers and leadership, and progressively take ownership of increasingly complex work.

What Makes T&D Different: You won’t be expected to know everything on day one. We value engineers who are curious, accountable, and committed to lifelong learning. Our senior engineers and designers are actively involved in developing less‑experienced team members and sharing the knowledge they’ve gained throughout their careers. You will have the opportunity to learn from people who have deep technical experience while also bringing your own ideas and perspective to the team. We believe mentorship works both ways: experienced engineers teach, newer engineers challenge assumptions and bring new perspectives, and everyone continues to grow. At the same time, we believe in giving capable engineers room to work. You won’t be micromanaged, and you won’t be limited to repetitive drafting tasks. As your knowledge and confidence grow, so will your technical ownership and responsibility.

Responsibilities

• Design building electrical systems for commercial, municipal, medical, and light industrial projects.
• Develop power distribution, lighting, emergency power, fire alarm, and low-voltage systems.
• Prepare electrical construction documents from schematic design through construction administration.
• Perform electrical engineering calculations and analysis, including short-circuit, voltage drop, overcurrent protection, arc flash, and photometrics.
• Apply NEC, NFPA, ASHRAE 90.1, IECC, and applicable local codes to project designs.
• Produce accurate, coordinated electrical construction documents using AutoCAD and Revit.
• Develop and maintain electrical Revit models throughout the design process.
• Independently produce and revise electrical plans, details, schedules, and other construction documentation.
• Coordinate electrical systems within multidisciplinary MEP models.
• Maintain a high standard of drafting quality, organization, accuracy, and constructability.
• Work with mechanical and plumbing engineers to develop coordinated MEP solutions.
• Collaborate with architects, contractors, owners, and other project stakeholders.
• Participate in project meetings, construction administration, and field coordination.
• Manage multiple assignments and deadlines while communicating proactively with the project team.
• Progressively take greater technical ownership as your experience develops.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of direct electrical engineering/design experience in an MEP consulting or building design environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related field from an ABET‑accredited program preferred.
• Strong AutoCAD and Revit proficiency required; must be comfortable independently producing electrical drawings and managing work within Revit.
• Solid understanding of building electrical systems and the ability to apply engineering fundamentals to real‑world design problems.
• Working knowledge of NEC and applicable building and energy codes.
• EIT certification strongly preferred.
• PE license not required.
• Strong organizational and project‑management skills, with the ability to prioritize multiple assignments and meet deadlines.
• A willingness to ask questions, learn from experienced engineers, and share knowledge with others.
• A thoughtful, collaborative approach to solving problems.
