Original job description

Senior Electrical Engineer / PE

Building & Federal Power Systems | Irvine, CA

Are you an Electrical PE who wants to stay hands-on technically rather than move into a purely managerial role?

Were supporting a growing multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer / PE to take technical ownership of sophisticated building and infrastructure projects. This is an opportunity to work on electrical systems that go well beyond routine commercial design, including medium-voltage distribution, 12kV systems, switchgear, generators, utility coordination, and complex federal/public facilities.

The ideal engineer can take a project from the initial site investigation through calculations, system design, construction documents, multidisciplinary coordination, and construction administration.

What You'll Work On

Youll support a diverse portfolio of federal, military, public-sector, institutional, industrial, and complex facility projects, with opportunities to work on electrical systems that present genuinely different technical challenges.

Responsibilities include:

Design building and site electrical power-distribution systems
Perform electrical calculations and technical analysis
Design and evaluate medium-voltage and 12kV distribution systems
Specify and coordinate transformers, switchgear, generators, and associated electrical equipment
Develop one-lines, drawings, specifications, and construction documents
Perform site investigations and evaluate existing electrical conditions
Support utility coordination and electrical service design
Review electrical calculations, drawings, and specifications for technical accuracy and constructability
Coordinate closely with architectural, mechanical, structural, and civil disciplines
Interface with consultants and contractors throughout project delivery
Provide construction administration and field support
Mentor less-experienced engineers and designers while remaining an active technical contributor

What We're Looking ForRequired

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
Active Professional Engineer (PE) license
California PE or ability to obtain California reciprocity within approximately 6 months
Strong consulting/AEC electrical engineering background
Hands-on experience designing building and facility electrical systems
Strong knowledge of power distribution and electrical calculations
Ability to independently make and defend technical design decisions
Experience developing construction documents and specifications
AutoCAD/CADD proficiency
Experience coordinating multidisciplinary designs
Strong written and verbal communication skills
U.S. citizenship and ability to meet access/ background requirements associated with military facilities

Highly Valued Experience

You do not need every item below, but several would make you especially competitive:

Federal or DoD facilities
NAVFAC or USACE projects
Public-sector/institutional projects
12kV / medium-voltage distribution
Utility-to-building or campus power distribution
Switchgear and transformers
Emergency/standby generators
SKM Power*Tools or comparable electrical-analysis software
Load flow, short-circuit, coordination, or arc-flash studies
Revit
Industrial facilities
Healthcare, laboratory, infrastructure, or other technically demanding facilities
Construction administration and field experience

The Profile We're Really Looking For

Years of experience matter, but technical depth matters more.

We're particularly interested in engineers who can confidently explain:

How did power get from the incoming utility service through transformers and switchgear to the final building distribution, and what did you personally calculate, size, select, and design?

This is not a drafting-only or BIM-production position.

We want an engineer who understands the engineering behind the drawings and can independently work through complex power-system decisions.

Senior engineers with approximately 1020+ years of relevant experience may be considered depending on project diversity, technical depth, and level of responsibility.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Interesting technical work

You'll have exposure to federal and specialized facilities where the electrical requirements can be substantially more complex than conventional office, retail, or residential projects.

Real ownership

This role goes beyond production. You'll participate in investigations, calculations, system decisions, documentation, coordination, constructability, and construction support.

Stay technical

If you're a Senior PE who still enjoys engineering but doesn't want your career to become purely administrative, this role offers the opportunity to remain close to the design.

Variety

The project portfolio spans multiple facility and client types, giving you the opportunity to solve different engineering problems rather than repeatedly designing the same building systems.

Collaborative environment

You'll work directly alongside architecture, mechanical, structural, and civil professionals in a smaller, highly collaborative engineering environment.

Work Environment

Location: Irvine, CA
Primarily onsite during the initial onboarding period
Potential hybrid flexibility after approximately 90 days
Flexible office environment
Occasional field/site investigations
Multidisciplinary AEC project teams

Compensation

$62.50 to $76.92/hour, depending on experience, licensure, technical background , and overall fit.

Candidates with particularly strong federal, medium-voltage, or complex-facility experience are encouraged to apply.

Interview Process

The process is intentionally streamlined, with a one-step Teams interview focused primarily on your actual project experience and technical responsibilities.

Come prepared to discuss:

A project you personally owned or significantly designed
Your experience with building power distribution
Medium-voltage or 12kV systems
SKM or comparable electrical-analysis tools
Electrical calculations and equipment selection
Government, federal, public, or complex commercial/industrial projects
Your actual level of AutoCAD/Revit involvement
How you've supported projects through construction

Interested in doing more than marking up someone else's electrical drawings?Job Type & Location

This is a Permanent position based out of Irvine, CA.

Pay and Benefits

The pay range for this position is $62.50 - $76.92/hr.

Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.
