Electrical Engineer II — Building Power & Systems

Role Overview

Mid-level electrical design role supporting senior engineers on multi-disciplinary projects. You’ll translate requirements into constructible designs that meet codes/standards, while guiding junior teammates and coordinating across trades.

What You’ll Do

• Lead small, well-defined scopes; provide day-to-day direction to junior engineers/designers assigned to your workstream.

• Partner with the Engineer of Record to review and process equipment/system submittals.

• Draft project-specific electrical specifications and sequences of operation.

• Support factory/field testing and commissioning activities; understand test plans and acceptance criteria.

• Coordinate diligently with architecture, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and low-voltage disciplines.

• Produce and check design deliverables: power, lighting, grounding, and auxiliary systems.

• Develop single-line diagrams; perform feeder/OCPD sizing; prepare equipment layouts/elevations.

• Run or assist with studies: short-circuit, protective-device coordination, and arc-flash mitigation.

• Perform distribution calculations—voltage drop/droop and underground thermal ampacity (Neher–McGrath).

• Align design choices with specs and procurement strategy (“buy-out”) to meet budget/schedule targets.

• Conduct site walks to document existing conditions; support limited on-site assignments as needed.

• Use engineering analysis tools and judgment to evaluate loads, illumination levels, and fault duties.

• Contribute to value-engineering alternatives that improve constructability and cost without sacrificing performance.

• Participate in design meetings; interface directly with clients, architects, and MEP partners.

• Triage and resolve RFIs, clashes, and drawing interpretation issues during construction; attend owner/contractor meetings as the electrical design representative.

Note: Duties reflect the core scope for this level; responsibilities may evolve with project needs.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s in Electrical/Architectural Engineering, Construction Sciences, or equivalent experience.

• ~2+ years of relevant electrical design experience.

• EIT completed or in progress; active pursuit of PE licensure encouraged.

• LEED AP® preferred (or willingness to obtain).

• Combination of education, training, and hands-on experience considered.

Competencies

• Team collaboration

• Throughput & productivity

• Practical, systems-level thinking

What Helps You Succeed

• Working knowledge across power distribution, lighting, grounding, energy efficiency, and value engineering for buildable designs.

• Full competence in core Engineer I tasks; exposure to high-rise residential, commercial, or data center projects is a plus.

• Proficiency with short-circuit/coordination/arc-flash analysis tools.

• Fluency with applicable codes/standards and energy-efficiency requirements.

• Software: Autodesk toolsets; MS Office; lighting calculation software.

• Strong prioritization, deadline discipline, and crisp written/verbal communication.

• Self-directed, proactive, and professional with clients, vendors, and teammates at all levels.

Travel & Work Environment

• Travel up to ~25% (separate from local site visits).

• Typical office conditions: extended computer use; occasional lifting up to ~40 lbs; low-to-moderate noise.

Pay & Perks

• Base range: $83,200 – $109,200 annually, based on location, skills, and experience.

• Annual performance bonus eligibility.

• Retirement savings plan (401(k) with employer contribution).

• Employee ownership program.

• ~17 days PTO plus ~10 paid holidays.

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.

• Company-paid life/AD&D with optional voluntary life.

• Short- and long-term disability coverage.

• Pre-tax health and dependent-care spending accounts.

• Charitable giving match program.
