Electrical Design Engineer; EPC - Carson

Staff Electrical Design Engineer (EPC) — Your Stamp on Every Drawing

Carson City, NV | Full-Time | $145,000 – $185,000

The Opportunity

If you're tired of designing one slice of a project and handing it off, keep reading. Our client, a fast-growing clean energy innovator, is hiring a Staff Electrical Design Engineer to carry electrical design from first concept through construction — as Electrical Engineer of Record. The portfolio is anything but repetitive: hazardous occupancy spaces, industrial recycling facilities, labs, offices, warehouses, and 34.5 kV/24.9 kV site infrastructure across multiple locations.

Why You'll Love It

• Full-cycle authority: Concept, permit, construction, commissioning — all yours
• Project diversity most engineers never see: MV infrastructure to lab fit-outs
• Real engineering: Optimized ampacity calcs and power studies, not table lookups
• Carson City lifestyle: Minutes from Tahoe, zero state income tax

What You'll Do

• Own a wide range of electrical systems — MV feeds up to 34.5 kV, LV distribution, lighting, raceway, grounding, communications
• Produce permit and construction drawings as Electrical Engineer of Record
• Run short-circuit, arc flash, and coordination studies in SKM or ETAP
• Perform cable ampacity calculations (Amp Calc) to optimize beyond prescriptive NEC tables
• Drive multi-discipline coordination to complete Issue for Construction packages
• Vet conceptual designs for technical and financial risk; prepare specs and evaluate consultant bids
• Lead NEC, IECC, and NFPA code analysis across all deliverables
• Handle construction administration — RFIs, submittals, change orders, inspections — through commissioning
• Estimate costs, build schedules, QA/QC designs, and mentor junior engineers

What You'll Bring

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering (ABET)
• Active PE (Nevada or reciprocity-eligible); NV and SC licensure within 2 months of start
• 10+ years in heavy commercial/industrial design with evidence of exceptional ability
• Command of NEC, IECC, and relevant NFPA standards
• Advanced proficiency:
  Revit MEP, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Bluebeam, SKM/ETAP, Amp Calc, Visual/AGI lighting software
• Proven ability to run multiple concurrent projects independently
• Site travel flexibility for construction administration and commissioning
• Communication that lands with field crews and executives alike
