What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Electrical Engineer position at GBA?
Job: Senior Electrical Engineer
Location: Lenexa, KS
Build Your Future with GBA
At GBA, you'll help design the electrical infrastructure behind facilities that need to perform 24/7, without interruption. Our Mission Critical team works on data centers and telecommunications facilities where reliability, resiliency, redundancy, and thoughtful engineering are essential to keeping critical operations running.
As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll work alongside architects, engineers, commissioning specialists, and construction professionals to solve highly complex power and infrastructure challenges for leading technology clients. You'll have the opportunity to see projects from concept through construction, influence important technical decisions, and see your designs become operating facilities.
If you're energized by solving difficult problems, designing systems where performance matters, and working with a team that challenges conventional thinking, this is an opportunity to make your expertise count.
Why This Role Matters
The systems you design are the backbone of facilities where downtime is not an option. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll help create reliable and resilient power systems that allow mission critical facilities to operate continuously. From utility service and power distribution to generators, automatic transfer switches (ATSs), UPS systems, and emergency power, your decisions will directly influence facility reliability, safety, maintainability, and long-term performance.
You won't simply produce drawings. You'll help clients solve complex infrastructure challenges, guide project teams, mentor developing engineers, and contribute to solutions that perform when they're needed most.
How You'll Make An Impact
Beyond the technical design itself, your experience will influence clients, strengthen our team, and help shape the long-term performance of the Mission Critical facilities we design.
Education & Experience
There is something different about designing a facility where every system has to work when it matters most. At GBA, you'll work on technically challenging Mission Critical projects where creativity and engineering judgment matter. You'll collaborate with professionals across design, commissioning, and construction, giving you the opportunity to see how your decisions perform beyond the drawings.
You'll also have the opportunity to share what you know. Whether you're mentoring a developing engineer, working through a difficult design problem with a client, or finding a better way to approach a system, you'll be part of a team that values technical excellence, curiosity, and continuous learning. Because GBA integrates design and construction expertise, you'll have opportunities to see projects from the earliest concepts through completed facilities.
GBA is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. We promote diversity in our workforce by including all individuals regardless of age, race, religion, color, sex, national origin, marital status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, veteran status, pregnancy status, or any other status protected by law.
