Senior Electrical Engineer

Are you a seasoned Electrical Engineer with 7-18 years of experience designing electrical systems for commercial and industrial buildings? We’re looking for a licensed Professional Engineer to lead electrical design on a diverse portfolio that ranges from small tenant improvements to 500,000+ SF advanced manufacturing facilities, including K-12 and higher education, healthcare, civic, and mission‑critical projects. You’ll bring strong technical depth across power distribution, lighting and lighting controls, low-voltage and special systems, fire alarm, and building decarbonization/electrification infrastructure. Just as important, you’ll lead client meetings, translate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences, and coordinate across multiple disciplines, both in-house and with external sub-consultants, to deliver integrated, high-performing projects. What You’ll Do Design electrical systems for commercial and industrial facilities, including power distribution, lighting and lighting controls, fire alarm and detection, low-voltage and special systems (security, AV, paging, access control), and electrical infrastructure supporting building decarbonization and electrification (EV charging, heat pump and induction loads, on-site generation, and energy storage). Perform engineering calculations and prepare load letters, short circuit analysis, and photovoltaic production studies. Produce design documentation primarily in Revit (with AutoCAD and Bluebeam as supporting tools) and use industry-standard analysis software for lighting (e.g., AGi32, Visual), power systems (e.g., SKM, ETAP, EasyPower), and generator sizing (e.g., CAT, Cummins). Work with utility companies on service requirements. Prepare technical specifications and equipment selections. Project Coordination & Management Coordinate across disciplines, with mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection engineers in-house and with external sub-consultants (structural, technology, security, lighting design), to ensure integrated project delivery. Coordinate the work of designers, CAD staff, and technical personnel as it pertains to the electrical team. Support project milestones by estimating task hours and monitoring team progress. Assist with proposals, scheduling, and budget estimates. Take on leadership duties within the Electrical department, including mentoring junior engineers, supporting professional development, and helping shape team standards and workflows. Client & Stakeholder Engagement Lead client meetings, present design concepts and progress, and translate complex technical information into clear, accessible language for non-technical stakeholders. Maintain vendor and supplier relationships; evaluate product data and coordinate selection. Provide oversight and mentorship to junior technical staff and support onboarding/training. What You Bring to the Team Education & Licensure Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering from an accredited program required. Professional Engineer (PE) license is not required; Washington State registration required at hire or obtainable via reciprocity within 6 months. Experience 7-18 years of progressive electrical engineering experience designing systems for commercial and industrial buildings, with project experience ranging from small tenant improvements to large (500,000+ SF) facilities. Demonstrated project experience across multiple market sectors, such as K-12 and higher education, advanced manufacturing and industrial, healthcare, civic/public, and mission‑critical facilities. Technical Skills Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) & Bluebeam. Expert-level proficiency in Revit (MEP discipline) required; working knowledge of AutoCAD and other electrical engineering design and analysis software (e.g., AGi32, Visual, SKM, ETAP, EasyPower). Working knowledge across the full electrical scope: power distribution, lighting design and controls, low-voltage and special systems, fire alarm, and building decarbonization/electrification infrastructure (EV charging, on-site generation, energy storage). Understanding of Construction Standards Institute (CSI) specification format. #J-18808-Ljbffr Futures Consulting, LLC
