• Perform electrical load calculations and system sizing in compliance with NEC, IECC, and other applicable standards.
• Design medium voltage distribution systems, emergency/standby power systems, and critical infrastructure supporting continuous operations.
• Interpret project scope, technical requirements, and design criteria to develop comprehensive and coordinated design solutions.
• Work within highly structured project environments that require strict adherence to established processes, documentation standards, and change management protocols.
• Coordinate closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless integration of electrical systems with mechanical, civil, and structural components.
• Proactively identify, track, and resolve complex design conflicts and coordination issues.
• Participate in design reviews, constructability reviews, and internal/external coordination meetings, providing technical input and recommendations.
• Maintain clear, consistent communication with Project Managers, Design Leads, and stakeholders regarding project status, risks, and deliverables.
• Conduct site visits, field verifications, and as-built documentation to ensure design accuracy and alignment with existing conditions.
• Support and adhere to rigorous QA/QC processes to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance of all deliverables.
• Utilize industry-standard software (AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, SKM, etc.) to produce and manage design documentation efficiently.
• Adapt to evolving project requirements, priorities, and timelines while maintaining a high level of organization and attention to detail.
• Mentor and support junior designers, providing technical guidance and promoting consistency in design standards and best practices.
• Perform all other duties as assigned to support the overall operations of the organization.

Minimum Qualifications :

• 8+ years of electrical design experience in a consulting engineering or similarly complex technical environment.
• Demonstrated experience supporting large-scale, infrastructure-heavy, or highly regulated projects requiring strict adherence to design standards and documentation protocols.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit; experience with Bluebeam and SKM strongly preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA standards, and applicable building codes.
• Proven ability to manage and coordinate design deliverables across multiple disciplines.
• Experience working within structured project environments with formal processes, approvals, and change management workflows.
• Strong understanding of power distribution systems, one-line diagrams, and lighting/control systems.
• Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• High attention to detail with a commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work.
• Field experience, including site walks, validation, and as-built documentation.
• Authorized to work in the U.S.
