Electrical Project Engineer
Job Description
Electrical Project Designer | Data Centers, Healthcare & Mission-Critical Projects
Better Projects + More Ownership + Stronger Mentorship + Clear Progression
Ready to move beyond production work and take greater ownership of electrical design projects?
Join an award-winning engineering consultancy where you'll work on high-profile healthcare, education, commercial, and mission-critical facilities while developing the technical, project management, and leadership skills needed to accelerate your career.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Employee-owned business offering long-term wealth creation opportunities and a genuine stake in the firm's success
- Gain hands-on responsibility for project delivery while receiving strong mentorship from experienced Senior Engineers and technical leaders
- Clear progression pathway toward Project Engineer, Senior Electrical Engineer, and future leadership opportunities
- Work on a diverse portfolio of projects including hospitals, educational facilities, commercial developments, infrastructure projects, and mission-critical environments.
- Exposure to advanced electrical systems including power distribution, lighting design, emergency power systems, and energy-efficient building solutions
- Flexible working arrangements and a strong commitment to work-life balance
- Comprehensive benefits package including healthcare coverage, retirement savings, generous PTO, and tuition reimbursement
Ideal For
- Electrical Designers looking to take ownership of projects rather than solely producing drawings
- EIT-certified professionals seeking a clear path toward PE licensure and future leadership opportunities
- Building services and MEP professionals wanting exposure to larger and more technically complex projects.
The Role
As an Electrical Project Designer, you will lead electrical design efforts for commercial, healthcare, education, infrastructure, and mission-critical facilities while supporting senior engineers on larger high-profile assignments. You'll contribute throughout the project lifecycle, from design and documentation through construction administration, helping deliver innovative and code-compliant electrical systems for a variety of building types.
This role offers excellent exposure to electrical power distribution, lighting systems, BIM coordination, and multidisciplinary project delivery while providing opportunities to develop project management and leadership capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of electrical systems for building projects
- Prepare engineering calculations, technical specifications, drawings, and construction documentation
- Support project planning, budgeting, scheduling, and delivery activities
- Perform design reviews and implement quality control procedures
- Support bidding, construction administration, and field-related project activities
- Mentor and support less experienced team members
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's Degree: in Electrical Engineering or equivalent required
- EIT certification: preferred
- 3+ years of experience: within the building design consulting industry required
- Alternatively, candidates with an Associate Degree, BIM certification, or relevant technical qualification and 6+ years of industry experience will be considered
- Strong understanding: of electrical building systems, power distribution, lighting systems, and electrical design principles
- Proficiency: with Revit and BIM-based project delivery
- Experience: using electrical design and analysis software such as SKM/PTW, EasyPower, AGi32, ElumTools, or similar platforms
- Knowledge: of IES standards, NFPA codes, and industry design resources
