Senior Electrical Engineer - Building Systems

The Opportunity

A leading building systems consulting firm is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to join its growing team. This role offers the chance to work on high‑profile, technically complex projects that shape critical environments across the built world. The firm is recognized for delivering high‑performance, sustainable design solutions and for fostering a collaborative culture of engineering excellence.

Project types span healthcare, laboratories, high‑rise residential, hospitality, office, and other commercial and institutional facilities. Services include electrical power and lighting design, low‑voltage systems, building electrification, net‑zero and sustainability consulting, commissioning, and integrated MEP design.

If you're passionate about impactful design, long‑term career growth, and working with a talented multidisciplinary team, this is a compelling opportunity.


What You'll Do

  • Lead and execute electrical power system design for complex building projects across multiple sectors
  • Develop and modify designs using AutoCAD and Revit
  • Perform service load calculations, branch circuit sizing, and short‑circuit analyses
  • Collaborate closely with architects, owners, and facility stakeholders throughout project lifecycles
  • Support project delivery by meeting schedules and managing work within budget parameters
  • Review contractor submittals and respond to RFIs
  • Ensure compliance with codes, standards, and internal quality procedures
  • Contribute to a culture of technical excellence, knowledge‑sharing, and continuous improvement

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
  • 5+ years of experience designing building power systems for healthcare, higher education, residential, hospitality, office, and other institutional or commercial facilities
  • Strong proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit
  • Working knowledge of MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook)
  • Deep understanding of electrical codes, standards, and best practices
  • Excellent communication, analytical, and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to work independently while thriving in a highly collaborative team environment
  • PE license strongly preferred, or EIT on track to obtain PE
  • Willingness to travel as required

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with SKM Power*Tools for power system analysis
  • Experience with AGi32 lighting photometric software

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Work on mission‑critical, architecturally significant projects
  • Be part of a firm deeply committed to sustainability, electrification, and net‑zero design
  • Collaborate with highly respected engineers in a mentorship‑driven environment
  • Enjoy long‑term career growth on projects that make a measurable impact
