The ideal candidate will have a minimum of six years of electrical engineering experience supporting construction projects, with experience in federal, VA, healthcare, hospital, or other complex occupied facilities strongly preferred. The successful candidate will possess a strong understanding of electrical building systems, construction practices, design review, quality assurance, and interdisciplinary coordination.
