Coordinate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, structural, etc.) to ensure integrated design solutions

Interface with utilities and support service entrance and infrastructure planning

Participate in construction support activities including submittal reviews, RFIs, and commissioning

Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and best practices

Contribute to mentoring junior engineers and helping build out the electrical team over time

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET-accredited preferred)

7-10 years of electrical engineering experience, with strong hands-on design work

Experience in power distribution and/or mission-critical environments (data centers strongly preferred)

Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or actively pursuing with a defined timeline

Proficiency with electrical design tools (AutoCAD, Revit, SKM or similar)

Strong understanding of medium- and low-voltage systems, backup power, and redundancy design

Ability to operate independently and take ownership of projects in a fast-paced environment
