Essential Functions:

• Lead the design and documentation of complex electrical systems-such as distribution risers, lighting controls, emergency power, and low-voltage systems-with minimal oversight.
• Validate and approve key electrical engineering calculations (e.g., service sizing, short circuit, voltage drop, lighting power density) and integrate results into system design.
• Oversee setup of electrical Revit models, including views, sheet organization, system browser strategies, and annotation standards.
• Resolve system conflicts during interdisciplinary coordination by collaborating with architectural, structural, and civil teams.
• Serve as the primary electrical technical contact across internal and external project teams.
• Review and approve electrical submittals, RFIs, and substitutions; coordinate detailed responses with the broader team.
• Perform site visits, field verification, and punch walks with high autonomy; generate professional-level electrical field reports.
• Provide electrical design leadership from early concept through construction administration; inform system selection, performance targets, and documentation strategy.
• Guide QAQC reviews for electrical deliverables and assists in the development of project-specific electrical quality plans.
• Mentor junior engineers and electrical designers through delegation, technical feedback, and one-on-one coaching.
• Participate in fee development, scoping, and resource planning for electrical scope in project proposals.
• Contribute to internal and external project meetings by presenting electrical system concepts, decisions, and trade-offs.
