Shape the power behind California’s most impactful campuses and clinics
Picture your morning in Newport Beach: you open a Revit model for a K-12 modernization, fine-tune a lighting layout to meet Title 24, then hop on a quick coordination call with architects and contractors. After lunch, you resolve an RFI on emergency power for a healthcare addition and prepare construction documents for a new university lab. This is the rhythm of a Lead Building Electrical Systems Designer partnering with a respected, employee-owned, multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm.
