About CES
Since 1964, CES has served as a cornerstone of the "High-Stakes Infrastructure" sector, providing specialized engineering for the buildings that matter most—schools, government facilities, and complex commercial hubs. We are not your typical "assembly line" firm. We are a specialized team of experts that prioritizes "Common Sense" engineering, focusing on durability and ease of maintenance over unnecessary complexity.
The Role: Engineering with "Common Sense"
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer who understands that in a school or a correctional facility, power isn't just a utility—it’s a matter of safety and security. You will be responsible for designing electrical systems (Power, Lighting, and Life Safety) that bridge the gap between sophisticated BIM modeling and long-term operational reliability.
Key Responsibilities
Common Sense Design: Prioritize "universal maintainability" by designing rugged, high-quality electrical systems that on-site facility staff can easily manage and troubleshoot.
Strategic Load Analysis: Perform load analysis and MEP master planning to ensure campus infrastructure grows sustainably, preventing future system failures.
3D Synergy & Coordination: Utilize BIM/Revit to ensure electrical panels and conduit runs are perfectly integrated with the architectural vision, eliminating "clashes" before construction begins.
Hardened Infrastructure: Develop "tamper-proof" and high-durability designs for institutional settings where system downtime is a mission-critical risk.
Energy Stewardship: Implement advanced LED controls and energy conservation measures that pay for themselves through long-term savings.
Why You’ll Love Working at CES
Intentional Team Matching: We don't just assign staff based on availability; we match your specific past experience and personality style to the project goals.
Institutional Memory: Join a firm that isn't "learning on the job." You will leverage our 50-year legacy of data to design systems proven to last.
Focused Expertise: Work within a specialized MEP/FP discipline rather than a massive, impersonal conglomerate.
Qualifications
Degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on building systems.
Proven experience in Power, Lighting, and Fire Protection (FP) design.
Proficiency in Revit/BIM for 3D coordination and clash detection.
A commitment to "Value for Money" engineering—designing for 30-year durability standards rather than just a low initial bid.
