    Position Summary

    The engineering group is expanding and seeking early-career electrical engineers to help design, analyze, and coordinate low- and medium-voltage electrical systems. Projects range from small renovations to larger commercial, industrial, institutional, and mission-critical facilities. Candidates with 0 to 5 years of electrical engineering experience will be considered, with the position level determined by demonstrated technical capability, independence, and project experience.

    Each engineer is matched with a senior engineer who serves as a mentor. The engineer will initially support defined electrical design scopes and gradually assume greater ownership. Assignments include low- and medium-voltage power distribution, arc-flash and coordination studies, lighting, grounding, emergency power, fire alarm, panelboard and equipment schedules, and electrical one-line diagrams. Successful candidates will be detail-focused, organized, motivated to learn, and effective contributors to interdisciplinary project teams.

    Responsibilities

    • Travel within the United States, up to 30%, to perform fieldwork, complete due diligence, and attend onsite meetings when needed.
    • Become proficient in and follow company standards, policies, procedures, templates, and project QA/QC practices.
    • Develop and update electrical drawings and construction documents, such as power and lighting plans, equipment and panelboard schedules, riser diagrams, and electrical one-line diagrams.
    • Complete engineering calculations suited to the assigned experience level, including system demand, service capacity, feeder and branch-circuit sizing, voltage drop, conduit and cable sizing, lighting calculations, and arc-flash, short-circuit, and coordination studies.
    • Visit client sites to investigate and record existing field conditions.
    • Contribute throughout the design lifecycle, from schematic design and design development through construction documents and construction administration.
    • Collaborate on electrical design with senior engineers, architects, mechanical and structural engineers, contractors, equipment vendors, and additional project stakeholders.
    • Resolve redlines, review feedback, coordination matters, and design revisions accurately and promptly.
    • Take part in internal project meetings, design reviews, client discussions, and project coordination calls.
    • Organize assigned work across several projects, report on progress and priorities, and raise design questions or project risks when appropriate.

    Qualifications

    • Zero to five years of electrical engineering experience gained through internships, co-ops, consulting, design-build, construction, or comparable electrical design work.
    • Capable of reading and understanding architectural, mechanical, structural, and electrical drawings.
    • Working knowledge of relevant electrical codes and standards, including NEC 70 and other applicable NFPA codes.
    • Proficiency with AutoCAD and Microsoft Office tools, including Excel and Outlook.
    • Preferred experience includes Revit; lighting-calculation tools such as Visual or ElumTools; and electrical-analysis programs such as ETAP, SKM, or EasyPower.
    • Well-developed analytical, organizational, problem-solving, verbal communication, and written communication abilities.
    • Able to work autonomously and as part of a team while balancing multiple assignments and project priorities.

    Education, Certification and Skill Requirements

    • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology from an ABET-accredited university.
    • Progress toward Engineer Intern (EI) status or the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) credential is preferred, though not mandatory.
    • A commitment to learning from senior team members, responding constructively to feedback, and progressing toward greater project ownership and technical responsibility.

    Position Type / Expected Hours of Work

    This full-time role follows a hybrid work model. The selected candidate will first complete onsite training and initial onboarding at the Independence, Ohio office to become familiar with organizational standards, project processes, software, team practices, and client-service expectations.
