The position offers flexibility to work fully remote, hybrid, or onsite, and provides strong opportunities for professional growth in a small, high-performing organization.

Responsibilities

• Provide electrical design support for heavy industrial and agricultural facilities, supporting projects from initial concept through construction.
• Design and develop industrial electrical systems, including power distribution, grounding, lighting, instrumentation, and motor controls.
• Produce, review, and modify electrical drawings, schematics, and layouts using AutoCAD, ensuring accuracy and constructability.
• Utilize Revit to support electrical design and coordination within multidiscipline models, where applicable.
• Support the development of P&IDs, equipment schedules, and system documentation to ensure complete and coordinated design packages.
• Collaborate closely with internal engineering teams and external customers in a consulting-style environment to understand requirements and deliver effective solutions.
• Participate in technical design reviews to help ensure compliance with applicable codes, NEC, and general industrial electrical standards.
• Support multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced consulting environment, managing priorities and deadlines effectively.
• Contribute to projects that support critical infrastructure across agriculture, energy, and material processing industries.
• Assist with or review studies using tools such as SKM or ETAP for arc flash and coordination analyses when needed.
• Communicate design concepts and project status clearly to project stakeholders, both verbally and in writing.
• Operate effectively in a client-facing role, providing professional and responsive support to customers throughout the project lifecycle.

Essential Skills

• Experience in heavy industrial electrical design, such as agriculture, ethanol, power distribution, material handling, processing facilities, or rail/shipping terminals.
• Strong understanding of industrial electrical systems, including power distribution, instrumentation, grounding, lighting, and voltage systems.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD for creating and modifying electrical drawings, schematics, and layouts.
• Ability to work directly with customers and operate confidently in a consulting, client-facing role.
• Capability to support projects from concept through construction, including documentation and coordination.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced consulting environment.
• Comfort working remotely and independently while collaborating with a distributed engineering team.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills for effective collaboration with internal teams and external clients.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Revit experience for electrical design and coordination within multidiscipline models is preferred.
• Knowledge of NEC and general industrial electrical standards is preferred.
• Experience with SKM, ETAP, arc flash, or coordination studies is a plus but not required.
• Senior Electrical Design Engineers: 4-year degree in electrical engineering or a related field is preferred.
• Experienced Electrical Designers / Drafters: 2-year technical degree or equivalent relevant experience is welcomed.
• Familiarity with IEEE standards and industrial electrical engineering best practices is beneficial.
• Background in consulting or engineering services environments is an advantage.
