This role combines hands-on electrical and controls design with team leadership, client engagement, and project delivery responsibilities.

Based in (or open to relocating to) the Tucson, AZ area, you're comfortable leading project teams, balancing multiple priorities, and bringing projects across the finish line.

You bring a client-first mindset, value long-term relationships, and are energized by contributing to business development. Ideally, your background includes electrical design for water and wastewater facilities, power distribution and motor control centers, standby power systems, and instrumentation & controls including PLCs, SCADA integration, and process coordination, all grounded in real-world collaboration with operators and contractors to ensure designs are practical to construct, operate, and maintain.
