Electrical Design Engineer

As an Electrical Design Engineer, you will play a critical role in guiding the planning, coordination, and execution of advanced electrical systems on large-scale infrastructure projects. You will work cross-functionally with internal teams and external partners to ensure that all designs are technically robust, code-compliant, and aligned with project objectives. Your focus will be on delivering reliable, efficient, and scalable electrical solutions while upholding safety, quality, cost, and schedule commitments. 

Requirements

· Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Power Engineering with electrical building systems emphasis.

· Revit BIM design experience required.

· Proficiency in power distribution and lighting design, including controls implementation.

· Experience with short circuit analysis and utilization of analytical modeling software such as SKM or similar tools.

· Strong background in the design, construction, and commissioning of medium and low voltage electrical distribution systems, and power management or SCADA tools.

· Preferred qualifications include a Professional Engineering (PE) license.

· Experience in mission-critical facilities and their electrical/mechanical infrastructure.

· Knowledge and experience in estimating, electrical design, operation, and commissioning of substations, switchgear, and power monitoring.

· Minimum 5 years' experience in A/E industry preferred.

· Comprehensive understanding of professional services from conceptual design through project close-out.

· Strong written and verbal communication skills, organizational skills, and ability to motivate and mentor staff.

· Familiarity with sustainable design approaches and related project impacts.

· Passion for improving workflows and mentoring team members.

· Proficient with Microsoft Productivity Suite products.

Job Responsibilities

· You will serve as a key liaison between internal departments, external consultants, contractors, and the Engineer of Record (EoR) to troubleshoot and resolve electrical design challenges.

· You will lead the development and review of electrical documents, including one-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, submittals, technical studies, and RFIs.

· You will research and develop emerging trends and new technologies to optimize electrical systems and infrastructure in data centers, enhancing efficiency, reliability, and scalability.

· You will be responsible for ensuring the timely delivery of design packages by identifying bottlenecks, introducing efficiencies, and proactively managing evolving project requirements.

· You will ensure electrical systems meet all applicable codes and standards (NEC, IEEE, IEC) while maintaining design quality and mitigating technical risk.

· You will contribute to budget management by evaluating the cost impact of design changes, tracking electrical expenditures, and analyzing contractual obligations tied to the EoR.

· You will participate in risk assessment and commissioning efforts, including factory and site acceptance testing, milestone inspections, and integration verification.

· You will coordinate closely with mechanical, controls, and architectural teams to ensure the electrical systems are fully integrated into the broader design framework.

· You will mentor and support junior engineers, reinforcing consistent design practices and ensuring knowledge continuity across the team.

· You will help capture lessons learned and apply them to improve future design processes, standards, and project outcomes.

· You will support construction activities in the field, resolving installation issues, conducting walkthroughs, and ensuring a successful handoff to operations.
