Associate Engineer (Electrical/Technology Systems)

Discipline Ownership, Client Coordination, and Project Leadership

As an Associate, your impact comes from owning discipline-specific work, leading small projects, contributing to larger projects, and building confidence with both internal teams and clients. You contribute in three key ways:

• You strengthen project delivery by taking ownership of discipline-specific outputs and ensuring they are accurate, coordinated, and aligned with expectations.
• You improve design clarity and coordination by applying developing engineering judgment to resolve issues, validate assumptions, and make informed decisions with increasing independence.
• You accelerate your growth through mentorship—actively integrating feedback and building the capability needed to take on larger scopes and more complex responsibilities.

Build Team Collaboration and Client Confidence

• You strengthen client trust by showing up prepared, responsive, and reliable in meetings and coordination discussions.
• You maintain alignment across disciplines by communicating clearly, closing loops proactively, and ensuring decisions and next steps are understood.
• You enhance team performance by sharing insights, asking questions, and helping Designers develop stronger documentation and modeling habits.

Improve the TEECOM System

• You reinforce firmwide consistency by maintaining clear, organized documentation that teams can rely on.
• You improve project efficiency by identifying coordination or workflow gaps and offering practical suggestions that reduce ambiguity and rework.
• You strengthen discipline processes by documenting client nuances, refining notes, and sharing lessons learned that drive continuous improvement.

What Success in this Position Looks Like

• You deliver accurate, well-coordinated discipline designs, drawings, specifications, and calculations with consistent follow-through.
• You complete discipline tasks for projects independently—confirming assumptions, validating decisions, and asking clarifying questions when needed.
• You support Project Leads and senior engineers by preparing coordinated layouts, documentation, research, product evaluations, and early design narratives that strengthen project direction.
• You manage your workload effectively by prioritizing tasks, communicating risks early, and meeting deadlines across multiple projects.
• You apply TEECOM standards and documentation practices reliably and contribute improvements by sharing observations, raising questions, or offering documented feedback.
• You participate actively in client meetings and coordination sessions and produce clear notes that maintain alignment and capture decisions accurately.
• You collaborate with engineers and design partners to identify coordination issues, document impacts, and support resolution across disciplines.
• You maintain organized, up-to-date documentation in GitHub , Design Decision Logs , Asana , and Callback One and contribute updates that enhance clarity or workflow.
• You complete daily time and expense entries accurately and uphold disciplined habits that support predictable project delivery.
• You model TEECOM’s Core Values—Care, Trust, and Value—through clear communication, accountability, and dependable project execution.
