Electrical Engineer II

DLB Associates

6d • $83,000 - $104,125 • Remote

About The Position

The Electrical Engineer II works in DLB’s Mission Critical Department, focusing primarily on hyperscale data centers and related mission-critical facilities. The role collaborates with senior design staff to develop electrical design skills through hands-on work on a variety of mission-critical projects. As part of the Engineering Team, the engineer works closely with the Project Management Team to produce construction documents, develop and edit project specifications, and assist with construction administration.

The position receives general instructions for routine work and detailed instructions for new projects or assignments. The engineer may work independently, exercising discretion and judgment, or under immediate supervision, and may serve as trade lead on routine projects of limited scope. The role is expected to communicate and operate in line with organizational goals, values, and departmental objectives.

The engineer assists with electrical engineering documents and design, pre-construction activities, construction administration, and project reporting. The position also uses AI-enabled and digital tools to improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, and support consistent, high-quality work. It requires a continuous learning mindset and adaptability to emerging technologies and evolving digital workflows. The role is remote within the United States, with approximately 10% travel, potentially to any of the 50 states.
