Electrical Engineer - Technical Lead

Electrical Technical Lead (Senior PE) | Denver, CO

$110,000–$140,000 | Technical Authority | Firm-Wide Influence

Ramirez, Johnson, and Associates (RJA) is a growing MEP engineering firm in Denver’s RiNo District. We’re hiring an Electrical Technical Lead to set the standard for how we design, review, and deliver electrical work across the firm.

This is a senior role for an engineer who is already the person colleagues turn to when a design gets complicated. You’ll shape our technical direction, develop our engineers, and keep doing meaningful engineering work.

What you’ll do:

• Set and maintain electrical design standards, details, and QA/QC practices for the firm
• Review and approve complex electrical designs across projects and offices
• Serve as the technical escalation point for design, code, and coordination questions
• Train and mentor electrical engineers, from interns to project engineers
• Lead electrical design on select high-profile projects
• Work directly with architects, owners, and contractors on complex commercial and specialty buildings: airports, restaurants, breweries, affordable housing, industrial and municipal facilities

Why this role stands out:

• A true technical leadership seat, with real say in how the firm does engineering
• Direct access to firm leadership and a voice in firm direction
• Small-firm autonomy with project scale that’s hard to find elsewhere
• Flexible schedule and a supportive, low-ego team culture
• Support for continued professional development and industry involvement

What we’re looking for:

• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in electrical engineering, Colorado license or ability to obtain one
• 8+ years of electrical design experience in commercial buildings
• Recognized technical authority with deep command of NEC, energy code, and power distribution, lighting, and low-voltage systems
• Proven experience reviewing others’ work and developing engineers
• Revit experience preferred
• Strong communication, judgment, and curiosity

Compensation & benefits:

• $110,000–$140,000 depending on experience
• 401(k) with match
• Health, dental, vision, life insurance
• Paid Volunteer Time Off
• HSA, PTO, parental leave
• Professional development support

If you want to be the technical backbone of a firm that values your expertise, we’d love to talk.
