We are seeking a highly motivated Lead Electrical Engineer with deep expertise in Power System Analysis to support a growing portfolio of commercial projects. This is a strategic role for someone ready to step into leadership, mentor junior engineers, and eventually grow into a Director of Engineering position.

• Conduct detailed power system studies: short circuit, load flow, coordination, arc flash, and voltage drop.
• Build and analyze electrical system models using ETAP, SKM, or Easy Power.
• Collaborate with architects, mechanical engineers, and project managers to deliver integrated solutions.
• Provide quality control and peer reviews for electrical designs and studies.
• Mentor junior engineers in design practices, analysis methods, and project execution.
• Represent the team in client meetings, proposal development, and design charrettes.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Minimum 7 years of experience in electrical design for commercial buildings, with a focus on power systems.
• Proficiency in SKM Power Tools, ETAP, or Easy Power.
• Strong leadership and mentorship capabilities.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• PE license or EIT with ability to obtain PE shortly after hire.

• 15+ years of experience with a PE license.
• Proven leadership or management experience.
• At least 5 years of hands‑on Power System Analysis.
• Stable work history – candidates with frequent job changes (1–3 years per role) will not be considered.
• Detail‑oriented and capable of growing into a Director‑level role.

• 7+ years of experience with PE or EIT actively pursuing PE.
• Strong design background with interest in transitioning into Power System Analysis.
• Demonstrated leadership traits and ability to quickly learn SKM studies and grow into a leadership role.

This is not a power and lighting design role. Design work is minimal and limited to adjustments and minor redesigns in AutoCAD.

This role is designed to evolve into a Director of Engineering position. The selected candidate will eventually manage the engineering team while senior leadership focuses on business development and strategic oversight.
