Entry Level Electrical Engineer

About the role

We’re seeking an Entry Level Electrical Engineer / Designer to help execute electrical design for mission critical projects. Typical project types may include design of greenfield and brownfield data center facilities, design of fit-out packages for hyperscale and enterprise clients of colocation providers, data center campus planning, conceptual designs and feasibility studies, and power systems studies such as Neher-McGrath, short circuit, coordination, and arc flash.

This candidate will execute specific design tasks as part of a broader electrical team while furthering their own knowledge and developing their skills. The candidate will typically work under the guidance of senior and/or mid-level engineers. The electrical design scope will be part of a broader project, so this candidate will learn to interface with design leads within SMC (mechanical, telecommunications, fire protection, plumbing) as well as externally including architectural, civil, and structural disciplines.

The ideal candidate has a strong work ethic, is eager to learn, and wants to grow their expertise and career at as rapid a pace as suits them. This position is open to full-time, part-time, and internship/co-op applicants.

Responsibilities

• Assist with the design and drawing of electrical infrastructure for mission critical buildings and campuses, including medium voltage distribution; highly redundant power systems (distributed and block redundant topologies); on-site generation and UPS backup; and typical building systems such as small power, lighting, grounding, and fire alarm.
• Assist with coordination between internal and external disciplines for required electrical power connections to equipment.
• Review and understand client standards, design criteria, applicable codes, and best practices, working with senior engineers to understand their impact on project design.
• Review and gain an understanding of local and national construction codes and project specifications to broaden knowledge of the construction process.
• Utilize Autodesk Revit daily to produce detailed design documents.
• Use Microsoft tools such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Teams.
• Meet project deadlines, including working necessary hours to complete major deliverables.
• Travel when required to project sites and/or meetings (less than 10% travel).
• Communicate clearly in both written and spoken forms.
• Take direction from senior and mid-level engineers and designers to execute delivery of specific design elements.
• Actively participate in training and mentoring opportunities to grow knowledge and capabilities.
• Maintain excellent organizational skills, managing multiple tasks simultaneously.

Requirements

• 2 or 4-year degree in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology preferred; electrical construction experience with a drafting certification will also be considered.
• Past internship, co-op, or work experience in a consulting engineering role is a plus.
• Experience working in the construction industry is a plus.
• Experience using Revit in either an educational or professional context is a plus.
• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification is a plus.

Pay

Base Compensation: $65,000–$85,000 (actual compensation varies based on education, experience, skills, and location).

Benefits

• 36-hour standard work week with a hybrid working arrangement.
