Mentor engineers and other associates, support training and professional development, contribute to engineering standards and organizational policies, and assist with strategic planning and recruitment activities as needed. Identify and implement opportunities to use digital platforms, workflow automation, advanced analytics, data visualization, and AI-enabled tools to improve documentation, forecasting, reporting, quality control, and project management. Collaborate with internal teams to ensure technology adoption aligns with data security, privacy, operational integrity, and engineering standards while promoting continuous improvement and innovation. Manage multiple complex assignments simultaneously, coordinate and delegate team responsibilities effectively, and deliver high-quality work within agreed schedules and budgets. Undertake additional related responsibilities as assigned and travel domestically as needed, including occasional visits to project sites, client meetings, and industry events. Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution. Professional Engineer (PE) license in a relevant discipline. At least 13 years of professional electrical engineering experience, with the advanced technical expertise and leadership capabilities required to manage complex projects and engineering teams. Advanced knowledge of building electrical systems, including single-phase and three-phase power distribution, lighting and lighting controls, grounding, and life safety systems. Strong understanding of electrical distribution topologies, equipment selection and sizing, and applicable electrical codes and standards, including the National Electrical Code, life safety codes, and energy conservation requirements. Experience with advanced electrical engineering calculations and technical studies, including short-circuit analysis, protective device coordination, arc-flash studies, underground feeder calculations, lighting calculations, and equipment sizing. Demonstrated proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Revit for producing engineering drawings, layouts, and technical visualizations. Experience developing and reviewing construction documents, technical specifications, engineering calculations, and code compliance analyses. Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering teams, plan and delegate work, manage resources, and oversee projects involving complex technical requirements, budgets, and deadlines. Strong client-facing skills, including the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences and serve as a primary client contact. Excellent organizational, analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills, with meticulous attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities. Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Teams, along with effective digital file and document management practices. Ability to work independently in a remote environment, demonstrating initiative, self-motivation, resourcefulness, and strong written and verbal communication skills. Familiarity with digital engineering platforms, workflow automation, data analytics, and AI-enabled tools is beneficial, particularly where these technologies can improve design quality, efficiency, and project controls. Commitment to applicable workplace and project-site safety requirements, professional standards, and continuous improvement. Willingness to travel up to 10% within the United States, potentially to any of the 50 states, for project visits, client meetings, business development activities, and industry events. Benefits: Competitive annual salary: $148,000–$200,000, depending on qualifications, experience, skills, and work location. Remote work flexibility: Work virtually from anywhere in the United States, with occasional domestic travel.
