About The Position

The Electrical Engineer Subject Matter Expert (SME) will serve as the technical authority for electrical infrastructure on mission-critical and data center projects. The role focuses on power distribution, utility integration, standby generation, UPS systems, grounding, and overall electrical system resiliency. The engineer develops reliable, maintainable, and scalable solutions while supporting project delivery, mentoring engineering staff, and advising clients and project teams.

This is a remote position with occasional travel for construction-administration project site visits and site surveys at existing facilities. Anticipated travel is 10%–25%; approved business travel expenses are reimbursed according to company policy. Candidates interested in an office-based or hybrid arrangement may discuss available options.

The role leads electrical design across planning, concept development, schematic design, design development, construction documents, commissioning, and construction administration. It also provides technical oversight, coordinates with other disciplines and utilities, supports commissioning and operational readiness, and leads design reviews and quality processes.
