Job Description

Lead Industrial Electrical Systems Engineer

Step into a senior role where your decisions shape heavy industrial facilities. You’ll blend technical leadership with project management to deliver robust, high‑efficiency electrical solutions—always aligned with industry standards, safety codes, and budget goals. Partner with multidisciplinary peers to move complex work from planning through delivery without compromise.

A day in the life

You start by aligning the electrical scope for a rapid-deployment effort under $5M, then pivot to strategy reviews on a $200M+ mega‑project. After that, you refine the plan for junior engineers, designers, and drafters—protecting cost, quality, and milestones—before closing the day by resolving a thorny design question and mentoring a teammate through a better approach.

What you’ll lead

• Scope and planning for industrial electrical work across both fast‑turn initiatives (under $5M) and multi‑hundred‑million‑dollar programs ($200M+).
• Team scheduling and coordination: set and approve workload plans for junior engineers, designers, and drafters while rigorously guarding budget, quality, and key dates.
• Technical execution and lifecycle stewardship for assigned electrical deliverables.
• Quality control and troubleshooting of complex and routine design issues; strict enforcement of standards, regulatory obligations, and codes.
• Hands‑on guidance and mentorship to developing engineers.

(Note: Duties and responsibilities are not exhaustive and may include other assigned tasks based on project scope.)

Minimum qualifications & requirements

• Education & Licensure: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline), ongoing professional development, and an active Professional Engineer (PE) license.
• Technical Expertise: Deep background in the design, analysis, and oversight of industrial electrical systems.
• Software Proficiencies: Comfortable working with industry‑standard design and analysis tools.
• Project Acumen: Proven ability to run complex engineering projects, direct cross‑functional teams, and operate effectively in high‑stakes technical environments.
