Electrical Engineer
About The Position
An established engineering firm is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer for as-needed, project-based contract work supporting heavy commercial and industrial projects. Assignments typically range from 80 hours to several hundred hours per project, with recurring work possible as projects arise. Hours and project volume vary, and this is not a full-time position. The work is suited to an independent consultant, an engineer operating through their own company, or an experienced professional with availability for additional project work. The position is based in Katy, Texas, with occasional weekday site visits and client walkthroughs in Pasadena, Texas. The engineer will perform electrical engineering and design work, support systems and equipment operating up to 5 kV, conduct field walkdowns, and prepare drawings and as-built documentation. A PE license is not required. Candidates should provide a resume or project summary, hourly rate expectations, availability, location, and whether they would contract individually or through their own company.
Requirements
- 10+ years of electrical engineering experience, including heavy commercial and/or industrial projects.
- Demonstrated proficiency with electrical systems operating at voltages up to 5 kV.
- Experience conducting field walkdowns and preparing as-built documentation.

Responsibilities
- Perform electrical engineering and design work for heavy commercial and industrial facilities.
- Support projects involving electrical systems and equipment operating at voltages up to 5 kV.
- Conduct field walkdowns to verify existing conditions, gather technical information, and identify project requirements.
- Prepare and update electrical drawings and as-built documentation based on field findings.
- Participate in client walkthroughs and technical discussions, clearly communicating findings and recommended next steps.
- Coordinate with project managers and other engineering disciplines to deliver accurate work within agreed schedules.
