Senior Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Perform detailed quality control (QC) reviews of electrical drawings (single-line diagrams, panel schedules, lighting layouts, power distribution, raceway/conduit routing) for compliance, clarity, and constructability.
• Provide redline markups and technical commentary to electrical designers and engineers to ensure alignment with design intentions and quality standards.
• Review electrical calculations including voltage drop, short circuit, fault current, load analysis, coordination, grounding/earthing, harmonics, and arc flash where applicable.
• Verify that electrical designs adhere to the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA standards, energy codes, and local jurisdictional amendments.
• Review and validate design of lighting systems, power distribution (transformers, switchgear, panels, feeders), motor control (MCCs, VFDs), emergency/egress lighting, fire alarm systems, and low voltage systems (data, telecom, fire alarm, security) as needed.
• Evaluate vendor submittals, material specifications, equipment schedules, and Bill of Materials (BOM) for compliance with design intent and standards.
• Identify recurring design gaps or inefficiencies and propose process improvements, standard details, or templates to enhance consistency across projects.
• Mentor junior electrical designers and engineers, review their work, and provide feedback and training in best practices, code interpretation, and standardization.
• Collaborate with MEP leadership and cross-disciplinary teams (mechanical, plumbing, structural) to ensure coordinated integration of systems.
• Participate in virtual design review sessions, technical check-ins, and issue resolution meetings with project teams.
• Support construction phase review efforts (RFI reviews, as-built checks) as needed.

Qualifications & Prior Experience

• 15+ years of professional experience in electrical engineering, including strong experience in commercial or commercial/industrial development.
• Demonstrated expertise in electrical design review and quality control in building projects (restaurants, retail, institutional, etc.).
• Deep working knowledge of NEC, NFPA, energy codes, and local electrical code amendments.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or Revit (or similar CAD/BIM tools) for electrical layouts, one-lines, and panels.
• Experience with electrical analysis tools (e.g., ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, or equivalent) for load flow, short circuit, coordination, arc flash studies is a strong plus.
• Solid experience designing or reviewing lighting systems, power distribution, motor controls, conduit & cable routing, grounding, and low voltage systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain design issues and redline feedback clearly and constructively.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred but not required, especially if the candidate has deep QC/review experience.
