Electrical Engineering an

Harley Ellis Devereaux

Electrical Engineer - Mission Critical
HED is looking to add an experienced team member to our group of talented Electrical Engineers. The Electrical Engineer is a senior technical leader and design leader responsible for shaping high-performance, integrated electrical engineering solutions across complex hyperscale projects in the mission critical sector.
As an inclusive, integrated architecture and engineering practice, we value the diversity of perspectives, experiences, abilities, and expertise that advance both the work we do, and the world we share.
Electrical Engineers at this level operate with full autonomy, own major portions of electrical project design delivery, and mentor cross-functional teams. As trusted advisors, they represent the firm in client relationships, ensure technical excellence, and guide engineering strategy at the highest level. Lead the engineering design and documentation of large-scale and complex electrical systems-such as multi-level distribution, emergency power, lighting controls, and low-voltage infrastructure-from concept through construction.
Approve and apply advanced electrical calculations (e.g., short circuit analysis, voltage drop, coordination studies) to support system sizing, equipment selection, and performance verification.
Direct the setup and refinement of Revit models for electrical scope, including template usage, view strategies, and coordination workflows.
Standardize electrical Revit workflows across teams and lead the development of firmwide modeling tools, families, and system templates.
Integrate electrical systems across disciplines, resolving coordination challenges with architectural, structural, mechanical, and civil design partners.
Serve as the technical lead for electrical coordination with clients, consultants, and internal teams.
Lead submittal reviews, RFI responses, and value engineering analysis for electrical scope, ensuring code compliance and performance integrity.
Conduct field visits, lead construction observation efforts, and issue high-quality field reports documenting electrical progress and issues.
Define electrical system strategies aligned with budget, performance, maintainability, and schedule requirements, influence system decisions early in the design process.
Develop and lead QAQC plans for electrical documentation; guide milestone reviews and apply firmwide drafting and modeling standards.
Mentor junior engineers and electrical designers, providing real-time coaching, delegation guidance, and professional development support.
Develop onboarding content, technical training sessions, and reusable tools that support electrical team development and consistency.
Collaborate with project managers and firm leadership on fee development, staffing strategies, and discipline resourcing for electrical work.
Lead technical segments of meetings with clients, building officials, and consultants, communicating electrical design direction and resolving complex issues.
Guide electrical response strategies to field conditions, code conflicts, and VE proposals with clarity and ownership.
Influence client expectations around quality, performance, technical decisions, and lifecycle outcomes of electrical systems.
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent required.

  • Ability to lead an electrical team in the successful execution of large-scale, complex mission critical projects is required.
  • Experience working with international (offshore) delivery partners is desirable.
  • An understanding of the financial status of projects as they progress, development of cost budgets for projects, value of client relationships and being able to deliver projects with a focus on the quality is required.
  • Revit experience required.
  • Experience with computers, specifically for word processing, spreadsheet use/creation and email required.
  • Detail-oriented, self-motivated, enthusiastic, flexible and curious personalities required.
  • Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.

Ability to visit project sites, observe existing conditions and/or construction progress.
Must be able to effectively communicate in writing and verbally via phone, video conferencing, and in-person.
Visual acuity to perform responsibilities.
We embrace a hybrid model that promotes both autonomy and collaboration, including the freedom to work from home, with regular in-office days to connect with teammates and build culture.
The office is a professional, open-space environment for collaborative and independent work.
