Description

Join Our Team as a Senior Electrical Design Engineer!

Slifco Electric is a premier electrical contracting firm serving the Automotive, Heavy Industrial, and Mission Critical sectors. We specialize in both ground-up construction and major renovations, managing electrical packages ranging from small service work to multi-million-dollar installations.

As a Sr. Electrical Design Engineer , you’ll play a key role in transforming ideas into fully coordinated construction-ready electrical designs. Working alongside senior engineering leadership, BIM teams, Project Managers, and field operations, you’ll design and analyze electrical systems that keep major facilities powered safely and efficiently.

This is a hands-on engineering role ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, collaboration, and seeing their designs successfully built in the field.

What You'll Be Doing:
  • Design and analyze electrical power, lighting, and low-voltage systems for new construction and renovation projects.
  • Develop detailed construction documents for installation, interconnection, and control of electrical and mechanical systems.
  • Apply NFPA codes and industry standards to ensure compliant, high-quality designs.
  • Create electrical layouts using AutoCAD with minimal supervision.
  • Collaborate with BIM teams, Project Managers, and Field Operations to deliver fully coordinated designs.
  • Conduct site visits, field measurements, and system verification.
  • Review shop drawings and project submittals.
  • Create and manage RFIs to support project execution.
  • Maintain organized project documentation, calculations, and engineering records.
  • Support cross-functional teams to bring designs from concept to construction reality.
What We're Looking For:
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering required.
  • 8+ years of electrical design engineering experience.
  • Prior consulting engineering experience preferred.
  • Strong working knowledge of NFPA standards.
  • Experience with SKM power analysis or Visual lighting software is a bonus.
  • Strong communication skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to collaborate across engineering, project management, and field teams.

Proficiency in:

  • AutoCAD (required)
  • Bluebeam 
  • BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)
  • Navisworks
  • Revit
Why You'll Love Working Here:
  • Work on large-scale, high-impact projects that shape major industries.
  • Collaborate with experienced engineers, builders, and innovators.
  • Exposure to cutting-edge BIM and construction technology.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and technical development.
  • A team culture built on collaboration, problem-solving, and pride in craftsmanship.
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and career advancement opportunities.
