  • Confer with other engineers and other personnel to complete project deadlines
  • Design and specify system components to ensure conformance with project goals and requirements
  • Apply knowledge of engineering principles and research, design, and evaluate products, equipment, systems, and processes to meet project requirements
Desired

Skills and Experience:
  • Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering required; PE highly preferred
  • 4+ years of experience in electrical system design
  • Working knowledge of building codes and standards, engineering drafting standards, electrical engineering standards, and other trades
  • Understanding of the construction process and ability to interpret construction drawings
