Founded over 100 years ago, this organization is one of the largest employee-owned electrical contractors in the United States, with a proven track record on some of the most high-profile construction projects across the nation. As an employee stock ownership company (ESOP), every team member is a shareholder — creating a true sense of ownership and shared success. The company is driven by a mission to positively impact the communities where they live and work, built on a foundation of integrity, diversity, and innovation.

With a culture that empowers its people and a business experiencing tremendous growth, this is an exceptional opportunity to grow your career at a company that genuinely invests in yours.

We are seeking a talented Engineer II to join our engineering team in a mid‑level role that bridges hands‑on technical work with team leadership. In this position, you will provide technical engineering information and support to senior engineers, ensuring that projects comply with all applicable requirements, codes, and specifications. Your day‑to‑day will include designing electrical systems, conducting studies, preparing specifications, and collaborating closely with architects, mechanical contractors, and clients.

You will also have the opportunity to lead projects of limited scope, overseeing junior engineers and designers assigned to your team. This role places you at the intersection of design and construction — attending project design team meetings, visiting job sites, and serving as the design group's representative during construction to ensure the operations team has the information they need for timely installation.

The ideal candidate is passionate about electrical engineering, thrives in a collaborative environment, and is eager to grow into greater responsibility. You will report to senior engineers while mentoring junior staff, making this an excellent stepping stone for those looking to develop both their technical expertise and leadership capabilities.

• Oversee junior engineers, designers, and staff assigned to your work or team, and lead projects of limited scope.

• Generate electrical specifications appropriate for each project.
• Develop a complete and accurate sequence of operations for all designed systems.
• Perform process coordination between architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and all electrical trades.
• Prepare designs and specify power, lighting, and auxiliary systems, including single‑line diagrams, feeder sizing, over‑current protection, and equipment elevations.
• Conduct short circuit, over‑current protection device coordination studies, and Arc Flash mitigation studies.
• Perform calculations to determine distribution capacity due to voltage drop, voltage droop, or underground heat effect (Neher‑McGrath).
• Utilize engineering analysis programs and professional judgment to analyze loads, lighting levels, and short circuit currents.
• Coordinate work with project specifications or equipment buy‑out.
• Attend project design team meetings and interface with clients, architects, and mechanical contractors/engineers.
• Represent the design group during construction to ensure the operations team receives proper and timely information for installation.
• Visit job sites to field‑survey existing electrical conditions; may include on‑site field assignments.
• Research and resolve drawing interpretation problems, conflicts, interferences, and errors.
• Conduct value engineering functions.

• Minimum 2 years of electrical engineering experience.
• Working knowledge of electrical engineering concepts including power distribution, lighting, grounding, energy conservation, and value engineering.
• Fully competent in the majority of Engineer I skills.
• Proficiency in analytics programs for short circuit, over‑current coordination, and arc…
