PE Electrical Engineer

LRS Federal
Washington, DC Full Time
POSTED ON 10/22/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/22/2026

Electrical PE 


Company: LRS Federal

Location: Corporate / Remote

Position Type: Full-Time, Senior Level


Position Overview

LRS Federal is seeking a high-caliber, licensed Electrical PE with an extensive background in federal and defense sectors to join our corporate engineering team. This is not a purely administrative role; we are looking for a senior technical expert who possesses 15 years of experience and continues to actively perform physical electrical engineering design work.


The successful candidate will lead the design, analysis, and quality control of complex electrical infrastructure projects for the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Energy (DOE), and civil federal agencies (GSA, VA).


Mandatory Qualifications ("Must-Haves")

Candidates who do not meet all of the following criteria will not be considered:

  • Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in electrical engineering (with the ability to obtain reciprocity in additional states as required).
  • Experience: Minimum of fifteen (15) years of progressive experience working explicitly on Federal and Department of Defense (DoD) infrastructure and facility projects.
  • Active Design Footprint: Proven track record of actually performing physical electrical design work within recent roles (producing calculations, single-line diagrams, layouts, and specifications; not just reviewing the work of junior staff).
  • Federal Standards Expertise: Deep, practical mastery of Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA standards, and federal sustainable design mandates.


Key Responsibilities

  • Hands-on Electrical Design: Personally execute and oversee the production of comprehensive electrical design packages (Concept through 100% / Issued for Construction) for federal facilities, including medium-voltage distribution, interior power, lighting, grounding, lightning protection, and emergency/standby power systems.
  • Engineering Calculations: Perform and seal critical engineering calculations including short-circuit analysis, overcurrent protective device coordination, arc flash studies (using SKM or ETAP software), and voltage drop calculations.
  • Design-Build Support: Act as the lead corporate electrical technical authority on major Federal Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) proposals and executed contracts.
  • Quality Assurance & Mentorship: Provide rigorous independent technical reviews (QA/QC) for multi-discipline federal design projects while mentoring mid-level and junior electrical designers.
  • Client Interfacing: Serve as the technical point of contact during design review conferences with DoD engineering components (e.g., USACE, NAVFAC) and civil agencies.


Technical & Professional Skills

  • Expert-level proficiency in electrical engineering design software (e.g., SKM PowerTools, ETAP, AGi32).
  • Advanced production capabilities in AutoCAD and Revit MEP for generating construction documents.
  • Thorough understanding of physical security, visual/auditory signaling, and telecommunications infrastructure integration within federal footprints.
  • Excellent written communication skills for authoring design narratives, basis-of-design (BOD) documents, and physical condition assessment reports.
