Full Job Description
As an Electrical Engineer, you'll gather and analyze technical data to develop the basic electrical engineering designs that power our clients' projects - from power distribution and one-line drawings to load studies and equipment selection. You'll prepare electrical distribution designs, one-line drawings, load studies, and power equipment lists across industrial and power delivery projects, then hand your completed work to senior engineering staff for review and approval before it reaches the client. It's a hands-on role that pairs analytical design work with time in the field - visiting client facilities, walking sites, and getting close to the equipment you're designing around. What you can expect: • Employee ownership (ESOP) - build equity in the firm as it grows • Real design ownership - power and electrical distribution, one-line drawings, load studies, and power equipment selection across industrial and power delivery projects • Mentorship from senior engineers who review your work and help you grow toward professional licensure • Full-service EPCm exposure, from concept through startup, across a diverse client base • Career paths that grow with you - toward senior engineer, technical leadership, or discipline management • Flexible work arrangements where business needs allow What You'll Do • Gather and analyze technical data to prepare basic electrical engineering designs for client projects. • Develop power and electrical distribution designs, including electrical one-line drawings. • Perform electrical load studies and the supporting engineering calculations. • Prepare power equipment lists and support selection of transformers, switchgear, motors, UPS, and related equipment. • Develop area classification documentation and other electrical drawings, including lighting and heat-tracing (HT) designs. • Apply industry, client, utility, and company standards to your engineering work products. • Submit completed technical work to senior engineering staff for review and approval before it is presented to the client. • Visit client facilities to collect field data and support design development - including walking sites, standing, climbing ladders, and lifting as the work requires. What We're Looking For Required Qualifications • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. • 1+ year of experience in power distribution, utility coordination, or control system calculations and design. • Understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals and design principles, including power and electrical distribution. • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, specifications, standards, and equipment documentation. • Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills. • Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment. Preferred Qualifications • Familiarity with AutoCAD 2-D CAD, with 3-D CAD a plus. • Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification, or active progress toward professional licensure. Work Environment & Physical Demands Work is performed in a hybrid environment that includes office, remote, and active client-facility and project-site settings. This role may require: • Prolonged periods of sitting and working at a computer workstation, with or without reasonable accommodation • Periodic travel to client facilities and project sites to gather technical data and support design development • Physical field work - walking, standing, climbing ladders, and lifting - with exposure to outdoor weather, energized electrical equipment, noise, and active industrial or construction environments; appropriate PPE must be worn • The ability to move about client facilities and access project-site areas, with or without reasonable accommodation $75,000 - $115,000 a year The posted salary range represents the anticipated base pay for this position in accordance with applicable pay-transparency requirements and may vary based on experience, qualifications, skills, certifications, work location, and market conditions.
