Job Description

PURPOSE

The Electrical Engineer plays a vital role in bringing complex building systems to life—transforming ideas into high-performing, constructible electrical solutions that power critical environments. Working within a design-build team, this role collaborates closely with project managers, estimators, BIM technicians, and field leaders to develop innovative, cost-effective designs from early concept through construction.

This position offers the opportunity to directly impact how projects are built—not just designed—by bridging engineering with real-world execution. The Electrical Engineer contributes to meaningful, high-profile projects while growing technical expertise, influencing outcomes, and building lasting relationships with clients and partners.
