Electrical Engineer

Description

Oakwell is a real estate and infrastructure firm that provides capital, engineering, and project delivery services to hospitals and universities. We engineer in service of the owner's mission — developing sensible, financially sound decarbonization and infrastructure-renewal plans that fit within each owner's financial constraints and campus master plan, and that transform healthcare and higher-education facilities while generating measurable bottom-line impact. Multiple remote opportunities are available.

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for producing high-quality mechanical designs — drawings, calculations, specifications, and models — for renovation and new-construction projects at Oakwell's hospital and university clients. Working under the direction of senior engineers, this person turns engineering strategy into detailed, constructable design documents that meet Oakwell's higher technical standard.

This is a hands‑on design role for an engineer who takes pride in the craft of design — sizing and selecting equipment, laying out systems, coordinating across disciplines, and developing complete construction documents for electrical and low‑voltage systems in demanding institutional environments.

This is a hybrid position, with regular travel to client sites, primarily in the Boston area (approximately 30%). Preference will be given to candidates located in the New England area and/or willing to relocate.
