Electrical Engineer II
About the Role
As an Electrical Engineer II, you will take ownership of building-systems electrical design across multiple concurrent projects. This role is for a licensed engineer who produces stamped designs, drives quality, and leads construction administration with minimal supervision. You will develop work plans and schedules to keep projects on track through permitting and delivery, coordinate with in-house disciplines and outside consultants, and mentor junior engineers. This position marks the transition from executing tasks to owning outcomes, working on medium-to-high complexity systems and building toward senior technical leadership.
As an employee-owned (ESOP) firm, Progressive gives every team member a real ownership stake in the work and fosters an entrepreneurial mindset.

- Own advanced power system analysis and code compliance, including load flow, harmonic studies, and protective-device coordination for diverse building types, and conduct code compliance reviews to NEC, IEC, and other applicable standards.
- Build project work plans and schedules that account for permitting timeframes and align scope, schedule, and budget to ensure on-time delivery.
- Lead construction administration with minimal supervision, managing RFIs, shop drawing submittals and reviews, clarifications, field investigations, and inspections to minimize field rework.
- Coordinate design across in-house disciplines and outside consultants, organizing and leading team meetings, reviewing work for cross-disciplinary alignment, and engaging clients and governing agencies.
- Drive quality and consistency across deliverables by reviewing calculations, specifications, and junior staff work, and proactively resolving documentation inconsistencies.
