Electrical Lead Engineer (Mission Critical Construction)
Omaha, NE (Onsite)
Full-Time | Mid-Senior Level
$110K–$130K + Relocation Support
Build What Cannot Fail
A leading, nationally recognized construction organization is seeking an Electrical Lead (M/E Engineer) to support complex, high-performance environments where uptime, precision, and execution excellence are non-negotiable.
This is not a coordination role.
This is an opportunity to own electrical systems across the full lifecycle—from preconstruction and design validation through field execution, commissioning, and turnover.
What You'll Do
-
Lead electrical scope execution across mission-critical or complex construction projects
-
Evaluate and influence design decisions, constructability, and system performance
-
Drive M/E coordination across subcontractors, design teams, and field operations
-
Develop and refine budgetary estimates, sequencing strategies, and system recommendations
-
Review drawings, shop submittals, and specifications to identify risk and improve outcomes
-
Support and lead commissioning activities, including functional testing and documentation
-
Ensure alignment to quality, safety, and schedule commitments
-
Contribute to value engineering and continuous improvement across projects
What Sets This Role Apart
This role sits at the intersection of:
- Engineering + Construction Execution
- Design Intent + Field Reality
- System Performance + Operational Excellence
You will be trusted to challenge designs, optimize systems, and deliver results in environments where failure is not an option.
What You Bring
-
Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Architectural Engineering (or equivalent experience)
-
~5+ years of experience in construction, M/E engineering, or mission-critical environments
-
Strong ability to read and interpret drawings, specs, and construction documents
-
Experience with:
- Subcontractor coordination
- Shop drawings / submittals
- Commissioning and system testing
-
Understanding of constructability, sequencing, and field execution realities
-
Proven ability to work cross-functionally and drive outcomes under pressure
Why This Opportunity
-
Work on high-impact, technically complex projects
-
Gain exposure across preconstruction, field execution, and commissioning
-
Join a team that values precision, collaboration, and continuous improvement
-
Opportunity to grow into senior technical leadership or project leadership paths
