Director of Electrical Engineering - Dallas, TX

We are hiring a Director of Electrical Engineering to lead a growing electrical engineering practice within a multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows building electrical design inside and out and wants to have real influence over people, projects, technical standards, and the direction of a local engineering team.

The work is focused on the electrical systems behind multifamily, mixed-use, hospitality, commercial, civic/government, and education projects. This is not an industrial, utility, contractor installation, or manufacturing role.

What you’ll do

• Lead the electrical engineering discipline for assigned building-design projects from early design through construction.
• Review and guide electrical calculations, system designs, specifications, and construction documents.
• Serve as lead engineer responsible for technical accuracy, quality, coordination, and timely delivery.
• Sign and seal electrical plans and specifications as required.
• Work closely with architects, structural, mechanical, plumbing, interior design, landscape, BIM, project management, clients, and consultants.
• Manage electrical engineers, EITs, designers, and technical staff; balance workload and project assignments.
• Mentor staff, support performance reviews, help hire and develop the electrical team.
• Maintain and improve electrical standards, details, QA/QC procedures, and design practices.
• Meet with clients and project teams to understand project needs, solve technical issues, and present design options.
• Support proposals, client relationships, and business-development efforts.

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Active Professional Engineer license required.
• 10+ years of electrical engineering experience in the built environment, ideally within an A/E or MEP consulting setting.
• Experience leading electrical design for commercial, multifamily, mixed-use, civic/government, hospitality, education, or similar building projects.
• Experience leading, mentoring, and staffing an electrical engineering team.
• Strong working knowledge of NEC/NFPA 70 and applicable energy, building, life-safety, fire alarm, and emergency-power codes.
• Experience with Revit MEP and building electrical construction documents.
• Familiarity with AGi32, COMcheck, SKM PowerTools, generator sizing software, Bluebeam, and BIM 360/Autodesk Construction Cloud.
• Comfortable being client-facing and contributing to business development.

Why this role

You will have the chance to lead and grow a local electrical engineering team while still staying close to the technical work. The firm brings architecture, engineering, interior design, landscape architecture, and construction administration together under one roof, so this person will have a direct voice in how projects are designed and delivered.

If you are a licensed electrical engineer who enjoys building design, developing people, solving complex coordination issues, and helping shape a practice, this could be a strong next step.
