About The Position

Seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to serve as a technical authority for mission-critical electrical infrastructure projects. The role covers power distribution, utility integration, standby generation, UPS systems, grounding, and 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 project site visits during the Construction Administration phase and site surveys for existing facilities. Anticipated travel is 10%–25%; approved business travel expenses are reimbursed under company travel policies. Candidates interested in an office-based or hybrid arrangement may discuss available options. The position 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 supports commissioning and operational readiness.
