Original job description

Senior Electrical Engineer

At Salas O’Brien we tell our clients that we’re engineered for impact. This passion for making a difference applies just as much to our team as it does to our projects. That’s why we’re committed to living our values every day: inspiring, achieving, and connecting as shared owners of our success with a focus on a sustainable future.

Building for the long-term means that all of our team members can expect to work on amazing projects with a people-first approach to problem solving. It also means that each member of our team has truly limitless potential to build a unique, meaningful, and high-impact career – and they’ll receive great total rewards along the way.

About Us:

Founded in 1975, Salas O’Brien is an employee-owned engineering and professional services firm focused on achieving impact for our clients, our team, and the world. We know that tomorrow’s requirements are today’s opportunities, and we are here to design lasting solutions for pressing challenges.

We work across a variety of industries providing integrated engineering and consulting services. Our specialized experience includes design for data centers, healthcare, science and technology, high-rise buildings, clean energy, education, and other building types as well as structural and building sciences, infrastructure asset management, advanced robotics, and more.

Our technical expertise is paired with an exceptional team of business development, human resources, finance and accounting, information technology, and marketing professionals, all of whom play a key role in bringing our commitments to life every day.

Job Summary:

Salas O’Brien is seeking an Senior Electrical Engineer at the principal, master, or chief engineer level to serve as a senior technical authority within its electrical engineering group. The position combines project leadership, technical advising, complex problem solving, and practical mentorship with direct client engagement and business development.

This is a technical leadership position with little or no formal personnel management. The existing electrical discipline manager handles staffing, performance reviews, career development, and day-to-day personnel matters. The Electrical Engineer VII works closely with that manager to strengthen technical quality and help engineers deliver effective solutions.

The primary focus is facility power distribution at 480V and above, and medium-voltage electrical engineering. Depending on experience and project needs, the role may also support high-voltage systems, substations, controls, instrumentation, and other electrical assignments.

Reporting Structure:

This position reports to the Department Manager.

Key Responsibilities:

Serve as a senior resource for difficult electrical engineering questions and guide teams toward sound, practical solutions.
Lead the technical execution of selected projects, coordinating engineering work and maintaining technical quality.
Participate in business development through regular interaction with client peers, identifying their needs and using those relationships to generate additional project work.
Combine internal technical support with client-facing assignments, presenting technical recommendations and representing the firm in a positive, professional manner.
Review proposed designs and engineering approaches, resolve complex issues, and identify ways to improve project efficiency.
Determine which assignments require principal-level expertise and delegate appropriate production and repetitive work to junior engineers.
Mentor early-career engineers through active project work, explaining technical decisions and helping them build independent judgment.
Provide timely technical assistance across projects while balancing responsibilities on directly assigned work.
Independently perform quality reviews and detailed checks of other engineers’ work beyond directly assigned projects, including marking up work products and providing technical feedback.
Partner with the electrical discipline manager and other engineering teams to strengthen technical capability across the group.

Required Qualifications:

15+ years of electrical engineering experience with strong expertise in power and medium-voltage systems.
Professional Engineer (PE) license; NCEES registration preferred.
Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems and provide clear engineering direction.
Experience leading multiple projects and reviewing the work of other engineers.
Sound judgment in prioritizing work and delegating tasks according to technical complexity, project deliverable timing, and team capability.
An approachable communication style and interest in coaching engineers through practical technical challenges.
Ability to answer client questions, communicate technical recommendations professionally, and build client confidence in the engineering decisions made by the technical team.
Interest in sustained technical contribution, collaborative problem solving, and a long-term role within the team.

Performance Metrics

Quality and accuracy of engineering calculations, drawings, and specifications
Timeliness of assigned task completion within project deadlines
Effectiveness of technical documentation
Client satisfaction with communication and delivered results
Successful completion of assessments and audits
Ability to work Independently
Project Coordination
