Staff Electrical Design Engineer (EPC) — Your Stamp on Every Drawing
Carson City, NV | Full-Time | $145,000 – $185,000
The Opportunity
If you're tired of designing one slice of a project and handing it off, keep reading. Our client, a fast-growing clean energy innovator, is hiring a Staff Electrical Design Engineer to carry electrical design from first concept through construction — as Electrical Engineer of Record. The portfolio is anything but repetitive: hazardous occupancy spaces, industrial recycling facilities, labs, offices, warehouses, and 34.5 kV/24.9 kV site infrastructure across multiple locations.
Why You'll Love It
- Full-cycle authority: Concept, permit, construction, commissioning — all yours
- Project diversity most engineers never see: MV infrastructure to lab fit-outs
- Real engineering: Optimized ampacity calcs and power studies, not table lookups
- Carson City lifestyle: Minutes from Tahoe, zero state income tax
What You'll Do
- Own a wide range of electrical systems — MV feeds up to 34.5 kV, LV distribution, lighting, raceway, grounding, communications
- Produce permit and construction drawings as Electrical Engineer of Record
- Run short-circuit, arc flash, and coordination studies in SKM or ETAP
- Perform cable ampacity calculations (AmpCalc) to optimize beyond prescriptive NEC tables
- Drive multi-discipline coordination to complete Issue for Construction packages
- Vet conceptual designs for technical and financial risk; prepare specs and evaluate consultant bids
- Lead NEC, IECC, and NFPA code analysis across all deliverables
- Handle construction administration — RFIs, submittals, change orders, inspections — through commissioning
- Estimate costs, build schedules, QA/QC designs, and mentor junior engineers
What You'll Bring
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering (ABET)
- Active PE (Nevada or reciprocity-eligible); NV and SC licensure within 2 months of start
- 10+ years in heavy commercial/industrial design with evidence of exceptional ability
- Command of NEC, IECC, and relevant NFPA standards
- Advanced proficiency: Revit MEP, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Bluebeam, SKM/ETAP, AmpCalc, Visual/AGI lighting software
- Proven ability to run multiple concurrent projects independently
- Site travel flexibility for construction administration and commissioning
- Communication that lands with field crews and executives alike
