About the Role

As an Electrical Engineering Designer III, you will run the electrical design on your own set of projects, from the first site walk through the last field question. This is the level where you stop being handed a scope and start setting it. You will write the work plans, lead the project meetings, and make the technical calls with minimal supervision across several projects at once.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the electrical design on assigned projects, from concept through construction.
  • Produce contract documents, construction documents, and technical specifications in Revit and AutoCAD to the firm’s Performance Based Design standards.
  • Own the power system analysis behind your designs. Run load flow, harmonic, and protective device coordination studies across building types, and build the power system models from your own field investigation and site data.
  • Write the work plan and schedule for each project, then hold the dates. Account for permitting and agency review timeframes up front, and deliver on client milestones on or ahead of date.
  • Take medium-to-high complexity systems through code and agency review. Lead the compliance review against NEC, IEC, and local amendments, and close out client and governing agency comments.
  • Coordinate projects across in-house disciplines and outside consultants. Organize and lead project team meetings, verify consultant work against your design, and catch coordination conflicts before documents go out.
  • Run construction administration on your projects with minimal supervision. Answer RFIs, review shop drawing submittals, issue clarifications, and make field visits to confirm built work matches design intent.
  • Backstop quality before documents leave the office. Review calculations, specifications, and junior staff drawings, flag inconsistencies with fixes, and contribute to Lessons Learned.
  • Mentor junior designers on live project work. Provide technical training, drawing reviews, and day-to-day guidance to help them reach independent design work.

Benefits

  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) — you hold a stake in the work you deliver.
  • Comprehensive benefits including an award-winning wellness program.
  • Hybrid work schedule and summer hours.
  • Profit-sharing and employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).
  • Continuing education, mentorship, and growth opportunities.
  • Paid service-learning hours and corporate sponsorship for community organizations.
