Electrical Project Manager

LPA

Join the 2025 AIA Firm Award Winner Shaping a More Sustainable Future

LPA is a collective of designers, engineers, and researchers committed to tackling the biggest issues of our time. Our "No Excuses" integrated design approach was recognized by the AIA as "a trailblazer in sustainable, high-performance architecture". At LPA you'll be part of the team that is changing the way the industry thinks about design and carbon emissions, built around the belief that we only achieve our goals when everybody has a seat at the table and all input is valued.

LPA is seeking an Electrical Project Manager to join our integrated team of architects, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects and master planners. As a member of our MEP+L Systems Engineering team, you will work on a broad range of projects from office, education and recreation buildings to complex laboratories, health care facilities, and performing arts centers. Our award-winning projects aim to have a positive and enduring environmental, economic and social impact.

What You Will Do:

  • Prepare and/or oversee complete electrical drawings for schematic design, design development, and construction documents in close collaboration with internal teams, architects, clients, and consultants.
  • Lead the electrical design effort and coordinate with other disciplines to define requirements for equipment power, lighting, and special systems throughout the project scope.
  • Apply a strong understanding of design standards and code requirements related to medium-voltage and utility systems.
  • Contribute to projects of varying types, sizes, and complexities, including large-scale, technically complex projects and those incorporating emerging industry technologies.
  • Develop creative and effective electrical design solutions using sound engineering judgment; evaluate alternative electrical distribution schemes based on cost, efficiency, space constraints, constructability, and performance.
  • Prepare project labor hour and fee estimates; review construction cost estimates; write, edit, and develop project specifications as needed.
  • Perform feasibility studies for existing facilities and electrical systems, including load analysis, capacity assessments, and future electrical requirements; coordinate metering strategies and field surveys as required.
  • Support construction administration activities, including punch lists, RFIs, and submittal reviews.
  • Design and coordinate special electrical systems such as photovoltaics, emergency and standby power systems, battery energy storage systems, fire pumps, and grounding; maintain a working knowledge of low-voltage and fire alarm systems.

What We Offer:

  • Mentorship from Managing Directors, Design Directors, and senior team members across disciplines.
  • Career development support, including professional development grants and in-house training.
  • Ongoing education through LPA+U courses and Tech Talks focused on innovative, sustainable practices.
  • 8 paid hours of volunteer time each year.
  • Opportunities to propose and lead projects that impact your local community, including more than $1 million since 2015 in Habitat for Humanity builds, scholarships, and other pro bono community projects.
  • Access to our Professional Development Grants program, created to encourage professional development and further LPA's collective knowledge as a firm. Over the life of the grant program, we have invested $1,196,890 and impacted 848 LPA employees.

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on the design of building power and lighting systems.
  • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in Electrical Engineering.
  • Strong understanding of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable energy codes, including common design sections and the ability to efficiently locate relevant tables and requirements.
  • Demonstrated ability to perform value engineering, including evaluating design alternatives and developing high-level construction cost estimates to meet client or owner budget objectives.
  • Extensive knowledge of electrical, building, and energy code requirements, as well as key client and owner design standards.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively coordinate with clients, consultants, and internal teams.

Preferred:

  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD and Revit.

LPA is an integrated design firm with offices in California and Texas, focused on creating forward-thinking, sustainable spaces that make a positive impact. We believe great design begins with great people, which is why we foster a supportive, collaborative environment where creativity, curiosity, and professional growth are encouraged. Our culture values diversity, promotes wellness, and supports a healthy work-life balance. At LPA, we offer competitive salaries and a robust benefits package—including health and dental insurance, retirement and financial planning, wellness initiatives, and flexible work/life programs.

This position is eligible for an annual bonus. If you are hired at LPA, your base salary is based on factors such as geographic location, skills, education, experience and/or project complexity. We believe in the importance of pay equity and consider the internal equity of our current team members as part of any final offer.

LPA uses E-Verify to confirm the employment eligibility of new hires.

Notice to Recruitment Agencies and Recruiters:

Please note that LPA does not accept unsolicited resumes from recruiters or employment agencies. In the absence of a signed contract, LPA will not agree to pay any recruiter fee. In the situation an agency or recruiter submits a candidate or resume without a previously signed agreement and/or without LPA's request, LPA explicitly reserves the right to hire those candidate(s) without any financial obligation to the recruiter or agency. Any unsolicited resumes, including those submitted to hiring managers, are deemed to be the property of LPA.
