About The Position

The Senior Electrical Designer is responsible for leading the design, development, and coordination of complex electrical systems in support of large-scale, technically demanding engineering projects. This role requires a high level of technical expertise, attention to detail, and the ability to operate effectively within highly structured, process-driven environments where precision, compliance, and coordination are critical to project success. This position plays a key role in delivering complete and accurate design documentation, ensuring alignment with project specifications, applicable codes, and client requirements. The Senior Electrical Designer is expected to work both independently and collaboratively, contributing to design strategy, supporting project execution, and maintaining a high standard of quality across all deliverables. The ideal candidate brings experience working in fast-paced, highly regulated environments, with a strong understanding of complex infrastructure systems, stringent documentation standards, and disciplined coordination workflows.

Requirements

• 8+ years of electrical design experience in a consulting engineering or similarly complex technical environment.
• Demonstrated experience supporting large-scale, infrastructure-heavy, or highly regulated projects requiring strict adherence to design standards and documentation protocols.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit; experience with Bluebeam and SKM strongly preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA standards, and applicable building codes.
• Proven ability to manage and coordinate design deliverables across multiple disciplines.
• Experience working within structured project environments with formal processes, approvals, and change management workflows.
• Strong understanding of power distribution systems, one-line diagrams, and lighting/control systems.
• Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• High attention to detail with a commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work.
