Senior Electrical Designer

Brown and Caldwell•Alexandria, VA

18h•$31 - $51•Hybrid

About The Position

We have an exciting opportunity for an Electrical Designer to join our growing team. The successful candidate will work on various projects for municipal, industrial, and federal clients and will work directly with engineers on 2D and 3D electrical and/or I&C designs for facilities primarily serving the water and wastewater industries. This is an extraordinary opportunity for a designer to continue to build upon their knowledge and training to develop, do challenging and meaningful work, and protect the earth’s resources at the same time. The Electrical Designer role has responsibility for complex projects, assists less experienced team members, and manages design processes. This role ensures designs meet regulatory requirements and project specifications. The role applies skills to complete a broad range of tasks and often completes assignments with limited supervision and exercises latitude for independent judgement. We'd prefer someone close enough to a Brown and Caldwell office to be in the office a couple of days/ week (Hybrid).
