Manage project milestones and design quality, while mentoring junior team members
Lead or support small project teams within the electrical division
Prepare and present internal “lunch-and-learn” sessions

Contribute to a collaborative design culture that values practical solutions and real-world insight
What you bring:
5+ years of experience with electrical systems design in an engineering consulting environment
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
Proven ability to lead small teams and manage design scopes
PE license preferred (or in progress)
Familiarity with Revit, AutoCAD, and NCEES registration
A grounded, practical approach to design — field experience and buildability mindset a plus
Why this role:
Be part of a tight-knit, multidisciplinary team that values growth and mentorship
Design diverse, impactful projects instead of being siloed
Gain visibility and ownership in a growing, well-established firm
Competitive salary with bonus/commission potential tied to performance
