Electrical Project Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and develop medium-voltage and below electrical systems (typically 480V and under) for energy efficiency and facility upgrade projects, including preparation of drawings, specifications, calculations, and narrative scopes of work for retrofit projects in existing facilities.
• Evaluate existing electrical systems through site investigations and field data collection to inform design decisions and identify upgrade opportunities.
• Support project development by contributing to technical approaches, constructability reviews, and system-level electrical design decisions.
• Develop and support preliminary cost estimates for electrical scope, including equipment, installation, and construction-related impacts.
• Cook up and support coordination with internal engineers, project managers, subcontractors, and vendors to validate design intent, constructability, and pricing.
• Support commissioning (Cx) activities and measurement and verification (M&V) planning related to electrical scopes to help ensure energy and performance requirements are achieved.
• Aid in managing technical scope changes during execution to maintain alignment with project objectives, budgets, and guaranteed performance requirements.
• Ensure electrical designs and installed systems comply with applicable codes, industry standards, safety requirements, and customer requirements.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline from an accredited four-year college or university.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in an electrical engineering or project engineering role.
• Ability to review confidential U.S. security-related information.

Qualifications

• EIT/PE license preferred.
• Certification or progress toward Certified Energy Manager (CEM) preferred.
• Experience supporting energy efficiency projects, ESPC or UESC programs preferred.
• Familiarity with Federal or government facilities preferred.
• Exposure to lighting retrofits, electrical distribution upgrades, controls integration, generators, or building automation systems preferred.
• Experience supporting construction-phase activities such as submittal reviews, RFIs, and field coordination preferred.
• Working knowledge of commissioning (Cx) and measurement and verification (M&V) concepts preferred.
• Experience with AutoCAD and electrical design or analysis software preferred.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
