• Design and develop electrical systems including power distribution, lighting, telecommunications, grounding, and specialty systems for Federal, DoD, and facility-based projects.
• Perform engineering analysis, calculations, evaluations, and system modeling to support project objectives and client requirements.
• Prepare construction documents, engineering reports, specifications, and technical design packages.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams to develop coordinated and constructible design solutions.
• Research and evaluate products and equipment to support project requirements and operational goals.
• Participate in project meetings and coordinate with clients, project managers, contractors, and other engineering disciplines.
• Assist with site investigations, field assessments, construction support, and commissioning activities.
• Review project requirements and technical standards to ensure compliance with applicable codes and Federal agency criteria.
• Support proposal development, qualifications packages, and technical presentations for new project opportunities.
• Utilize engineering and design technologies including Revit, BIM platforms, and industry-standard electrical analysis software.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to less experienced engineers, designers, and CAD technicians.
• Travel occasionally to support project meetings, site visits, and client engagements.

What Makes This Opportunity Unique

• Work on high-visibility Federal and Department of Defense projects that support critical national missions.
• Collaborate with experienced engineers and technical specialists across multiple disciplines.
• Gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of facility and infrastructure projects.
• Build technical expertise while working toward increased engineering responsibility and project leadership opportunities.
• Join a company committed to innovation, technical excellence, and making a difference in the communities we serve.

Professional Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Architectural Engineering with an Electrical Engineering emphasis.
• 5+ years of related electrical engineering experience.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
• U.S. Citizenship required.
• Strong verbal, written, and visual communication skills.
• Understanding of building systems and coordination among design disciplines, clients, and construction teams.
• Experience with electrical engineering software such as SKM, EasyPower, AGi32, or ElumTools.
• Familiarity with Revit and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
• Proficiency with Bluebeam, Microsoft Office, Teams, and SharePoint.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments while maintaining quality and schedule commitments.
