Electrical Engineer III

CRB•Columbus, MO

About The Position

Join CRB as an Electrical Engineer III specializing in architectural building design projects for the life sciences industry. In this role, you’ll lead the design and engineering of electrical systems for new builds—including power distribution (4160V, 480V, 240V, and 120V), lighting, grounding/bonding, and special systems—while collaborating closely with architects and multidisciplinary teams to deliver coordinated, constructible solutions. You’ll manage multiple complex tasks, set priorities, and mentor junior team members while overseeing electrical scope and budgets for projects ranging from high-level conceptual designs to full detailed design and construction documentation. This position offers the opportunity to work on high-impact architectural projects using advanced tools like BIM and CAD platforms. The successful candidate can be located in St. Louis, MO, or Columbus, OH. This position is focused on electrical building systems design. Candidates with a background in controls, automation, or instrumentation will not be considered a match for this role.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or Engineering Technology from an ABET-accredited program.
Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience.
Experience in an AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) firm.
Active Professional Engineer (PE) registration in good standing.

Nice To Haves

Experience in a design firm environment.
Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and Microsoft Office.

Responsibilities

Design electrical systems for building projects in compliance with applicable codes and standards.
Collaborate with architects, engineers, and designers to ensure coordinated and constructible designs.
Prepare calculations (power load, illumination, short circuit, voltage drop) and design documentation (one-line diagrams, plans, schedules, specifications).
Coordinate with construction trade partners, vendors, and manufacturers.
Support construction activities including RFIs, submittal reviews, punch lists, and progress reports.
Manage electrical design budgets and direct work on small to medium-sized projects.
Assist in proposal development under senior engineer guidance.
Conduct site walks and field surveys to identify non-compliant conditions.
Create internal training presentations on electrical design topics.
Use BIM platforms and Microsoft Office to execute work.
Lead quality assurance efforts and drive overall project quality.
Mentor junior engineers and designers.
Participate in professional development activities and client meetings.
