We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead electrical engineering design and delivery for commercial, institutional, municipal, and related infrastructure projects. This position emphasizes engineering calculations, design documents, coordination, and construction support - not electrical installation, maintenance, or technician-only work. The successful candidate will provide technical guidance and quality review for junior engineers and design staff.
Key Responsibilities:
· Lead electrical design for power distribution, service and feeder systems, lighting, equipment connections, grounding/bonding, and communications or low-voltage interfaces within project scope.
· Prepare and review one-line diagrams, panel schedules, electrical layouts, load calculations, short-circuit and protective-device coordination studies, and arc-flash assessments when applicable.
· Develop design criteria, technical specifications, construction drawings, cost-conscious equipment selections, and coordinated bid/construction documents.
· Develop life safety power distribution system design for life safety loads such as egress lighting and smoke control systems.
· Coordinate electrical system requirements with mechanical, plumbing, civil, structural, architectural, owner, utility, and contractor stakeholders.
· Apply adopted electrical/building codes and relevant NEC, NFPA, IEEE, and jurisdictional requirements to the assigned project.
· Perform technical and quality-control reviews; supervise and mentor junior engineers and designers.
· Review contractor RFIs, shop drawings, equipment submittals, field conditions and proposed changes; support inspections, testing, startup, and commissioning as required.
· Manage design tasks, communicate project risks, and deliver accurate work across multiple assignments.
Qualifications:
· Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
· Active Professional Engineer (PE) license, with eligibility to obtain Georgia licensure if needed for assigned work.
· Eight or more years of progressive electrical engineering design experience, including independent preparation or review of engineering documents.
· Strong understanding of electrical power distribution, calculations, design coordination, construction documentation, and applicable codes.
· Ability to lead technical design work, communicate with stakeholders, review others’ work, and support projects from design through construction.
· Consulting engineering for buildings, municipal infrastructure, institutional facilities, or industrial projects.
· Experience with AutoCAD, Revit MEP, SKM PowerTools, ETAP, or similar design/analysis software.
· Project experience involving medium-voltage systems, standby power, arc-flash/coordination studies, or controls interfaces.
· Experience mentoring early-career engineers and supporting commissioning or field engineering.
Benefits:
- 2 weeks per year paid time off (PTO), as well as paid holidays offered by the Company.
- Participate in the Company’s 401 (k) plan
- Company benefits that include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term and long- term disability plans, as well as plans offered by ALFAC.
