Job Title: Electrical Designer

Job Description

We are seeking a talented Electrical Engineer with expertise in electrical design, REVIT, and drafting for commercial building construction. This role involves working on a variety of projects, including mid to high-rise buildings, and provides the opportunity to grow within a dynamic and supportive environment.

Responsibilities

  • Design and engineer electrical systems for commercial building construction using REVIT.
  • Draft and perform calculations for services, voltage drop, and other electrical requirements.
  • Collaborate with engineering staff to input red lines and markups into AutoCAD and REVIT.
  • Develop electrical designs from schematic stages through to completion.
  • Contribute to the electrical portion of projects for commercial and high-rise building construction.

Essential Skills

  • Proficiency in REVIT and AutoCAD.

  • In-depth knowledge of the NEC (National Electric Code).
  • Experience with electrical design, schematic drafting, and lighting systems.

  • Hands-on experience with electrical design within MEP, including lighting, power distribution, and generator systems for mixed-use and commercial buildings.
  • Engineering Degree is not required; however, interest in obtaining a PE license is valued.
  • Ability to manage electrical design tasks and perform calculations for lighting, power, and voltage.

Work Environment

Work hours are flexible as long as projects are completed on time, and we value our employees by offering perks such as early office closures and team outings. The work environment is supported by a CAD department, and the office uses REVIT and AutoCAD for all MEP disciplines.
