Perform load, short-circuit, ampacity, and voltage-drop calculations; produce single-line diagrams and panel schedules in Revit/AutoCAD; support BIM coordination, review shop drawings, RFIs, and contractor submittals; and provide technical support during construction.

Design and deliver electrical systems for colocation and hyperscale data centers, including power distribution, backup/emergency systems, calculations, drawings, schematics, and code compliance while collaborating with stakeholders and maintaining industry knowledge.

The PV Electrical Engineer will lead the electrical design for utility-scale solar plants, ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance with codes while collaborating with various teams throughout the project lifecycle.

The Electrical Engineer will design and model electrical systems for data centers, prepare project documentation, collaborate with teams, and oversee construction activities.

Develop and program PLC and HMI controls for packaging machinery, design electrical schematics and BOMs in AutoCAD Electrical, specify components, lead projects through FAT and customer acceptance, ensure UL/CE/CSA compliance, troubleshoot machines, and support sales/assembly/procurement.

Lead electrical design and execution for industrial/process projects. Create schematics, one-/three-line diagrams, lighting, grounding, and raceway designs; coordinate disciplines; support field verification, construction, commissioning, budgeting, and client meetings.

The Principal Electrical Engineer will lead system-level architecture for electrical designs, mentor engineers, drive engineering best practices, and ensure high-quality product delivery from concept to production.

Perform electrical power, PV and low-voltage system design for renewable construction projects from concept through completion. Create calculations, technical drawings, one-line diagrams, cable routing, grounding design, and equipment specifications. Use AutoCAD and engineering software (CYMCAP, ETAP, AmpCalc, WinIGS), conduct field surveys and inspections, ensure NEC/code compliance, and mentor junior engineers.

Design and document electrical systems from concept through construction. Perform lighting and power calculations, short circuit studies, NEC compliance, Revit modeling, QA/QC, coordination with disciplines and consultants, RFI/submittal responses, field verification, and mentor junior staff while tracking project hours and supporting client interactions.

Design electrical building systems (power distribution, lighting, life-safety, data/communications) for commercial and institutional projects. Lead project design and production, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, visit construction sites for measurements and observations, manage workload and timelines, and pursue professional licensure (FE/PE).

The Principal Electrical Engineer leads project-specific engineering and design tasks, oversees teams, and ensures the successful delivery of data center projects while balancing customer needs and operational sustainability.

The Electrical Engineer will coordinate technical proposals for substation and power generation projects, including cost estimations and compliance with specifications.

As a Sr. Electrical Engineer, you'll design power and lighting systems, collaborate on projects, mentor junior engineers, and ensure adherence to codes.

Design electrical systems for conveyors, sortation, and automated equipment; develop schematics and wiring diagrams; specify panels, sensors, drives and control devices; support PLC and controls integration; participate in installation, commissioning (FAT/SAT) and system validation; troubleshoot in testing and live environments; collaborate with controls, mechanical, and software teams.

Seeking an Electrical Engineer for design/testing of medical device components. Role involves DVT, data analysis, and collaboration with multiple teams.

Lead electrical design for capital projects and facility upgrades, support planned outages and troubleshooting, manage multiple electrical projects, act as SME and guardian of electrical design standards, develop/approve diagrams and calculations, support commissioning and commissioning troubleshooting, and provide technical guidance across the network with ~20% travel.

Develop electrical design packages for pipeline projects, producing calculations, drawings, and documentation. Lead discipline-specific designs on smaller projects and assist technical analysis on complex projects. Coordinate with project teams, perform QA/QC reviews, use CAD and engineering tools, communicate impacts to scope/cost/schedule/quality, and occasionally support field activities.
