About The Position

The Electrical Engineering Designer II produces electrical design documents for small and mid-sized projects, working directly with project engineers and project managers. The role carries assignments from preliminary concepts through final construction documents and performs supporting load, voltage-drop, and short-circuit calculations for power distribution and lighting systems. Designs include drawings, specifications, and cost estimates, and must meet applicable NEC and IEC requirements. The designer develops single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and wiring diagrams using Revit and AutoCAD, coordinates work with other disciplines, and manages deliverables across several projects. Work is reviewed by senior engineers, who also involve the designer in client meetings and field visits and provide opportunities to take on increasingly complex systems as experience and judgment grow. The position offers a path toward senior electrical design and engineering roles.
