Build What Cannot Fail

A leading, nationally recognized construction organization is seeking an Electrical Lead (M/E Engineer) to support complex, high-performance environments where uptime, precision, and execution excellence are non-negotiable .

This is not a coordination role.

This is an opportunity to own electrical systems across the full lifecycle -from preconstruction and design validation through field execution, commissioning, and turnover.

What You'll Do

• Lead electrical scope execution across mission-critical or complex construction projects
• Evaluate and influence design decisions, constructability, and system performance
• Drive M/E coordination across subcontractors, design teams, and field operations
• Develop and refine budgetary estimates, sequencing strategies, and system recommendations
• Review drawings, shop submittals, and specifications to identify risk and improve outcomes
• Support and lead commissioning activities , including functional testing and documentation
• Ensure alignment to quality, safety, and schedule commitments
• Contribute to value engineering and continuous improvement across projects

What Sets This Role Apart

This role sits at the intersection of:

• Engineering + Construction Execution
• Design Intent + Field Reality
• System Performance + Operational Excellence

You will be trusted to challenge designs, optimize systems, and deliver results in environments where failure is not an option.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Architectural Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• ~5+ years of experience in construction, M/E engineering, or mission-critical environments
• Strong ability to read and interpret drawings, specs, and construction documents
• Experience with:
  • Subcontractor coordination
  • Shop drawings / submittals
  • Commissioning and system testing
• Understanding of constructability, sequencing, and field execution realities
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and drive outcomes under pressure

Why This Opportunity

• Work on high-impact, technically complex projects
• Gain exposure across preconstruction, field execution, and commissioning
• Join a team that values precision, collaboration, and continuous improvement
• Opportunity to grow into senior technical leadership or project leadership paths
