San Francisco, CA, United States
Job Type: Full‑Time
Department:
Project Delivery

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for developing and preparing high‑quality electrical engineering permit drawings and construction documents to support field electricians on complex electrical installations, in alignment with all company policies, procedures, key objectives and regulations. This role bridges engineering and construction by working closely with field electricians, project managers, designers, and VDC/BIM teams to deliver fully constructible designs across a wide range of projects, from small design/build efforts to large hyper‑scale construction projects.

The Electrical Engineer reviews outside engineering documents for accuracy and constructability, identifies value engineering opportunities, and performs engineering studies such as arc flash, short circuit, duct bank ampacity, power factor correction and lighting. The position provides hands‑on field exposure, troubleshooting experience, and a career path requiring professional licensure.

• Has a growth mindset and is always looking to continually learn and grow.
• Has strong knowledge of the National Electric Code and other building codes as they relate to design.
• Can coach and mentor others with excellent listening and communication skills.

• Develops and prepares detailed electrical engineering permit drawings and construction installation documents to support field execution.
• Develops conceptual designs, sketches, and value engineering ideas to support project managers and estimators during planning and preconstruction.
• Prepares electrical calculations, specifications, reports, and technical documentation throughout all phases of construction.
• Under supervision of a professionally licensed electrical engineer, develops, reviews, and validates engineering studies including arc flash, short circuit, overcurrent protective device coordination (OCPD), duct bank ampacity, load, lighting, and power factor correction.
• Coordinates with vendors and reviews shop drawings to model accurate, fully constructible electrical systems, including equipment, conduit, and cable tray within Revit.
• Participates in electrical construction and design‑related training.
• Adheres to company engineering standards and maintains strict QA/QC procedures for all deliverables.
• Recommends improvements to design standards, workflows, and procedures. Responds to design questions, resolves issues, and issues plan revisions as required.
• Stays current with new electrical and safety codes, materials, technologies, and industry best practices.
• Leads small to mid‑size projects as assigned and provides technical guidance to other designers and engineers.
• Demonstrates knowledge of local building energy codes and standards (e.g., IECC, ASHRAE 90.1, California Title 24), including developing, reviewing, and coordinating drawings for energy code compliance, evaluating lighting fixtures and control systems for compliance, utilizing energy compliance software and processes, and advising project managers on compliance strategies and solutions.
• Builds and maintains effective working relationships with customers, foremen, project teams, specialty contractors, vendors, and suppliers.
• Supports design team members as needed while upholding the company’s core values.
• Consistently makes decisions in an attentive and safe manner to ensure the safety and health of self and others.
• Utilizes LEAN concepts or other continuous improvement methodologies to ensure the most efficient operations, processes, and activities.
• Promotes and models the company mission, vision and values through exercising sound and ethical business practices, championing all elements of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and providing high‑quality services and programs as they relate to clients, subcontractors, co‑workers, suppliers, and the public.
