Electrical Designer II

Position Summary 

The Electrical Designer is responsible for supporting MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) projects by creating detailed CAD and Revit drawings, performing engineering calculations, and ensuring the timely delivery of project documents from conception through construction. This role requires a strong technical baseline in power distribution, lighting, and low-voltage systems, alongside the ability to work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary engineering team.  

Pay: $90,000 - $110,000
The pay listed is the salary range for this position. Any specific offer will vary based on the successful applicant’s education, experience, skills, abilities, geographic location, and alignment with market data.
Key Responsibilities 

• Engineering & Design: Design and draft electrical systems, including low to medium-voltage power distribution (208V, 240V, and 480V three-phase systems), indoor/outdoor lighting, and low-voltage systems.  

• Software & Modeling: Utilize AutoCAD and Revit to develop comprehensive, accurate construction documents and BIM models.  

• Technical Analysis: Perform detailed electrical calculations, including lighting levels, voltage drop, and load analysis.  

• Power System Studies: Assist in or perform Power System Studies utilizing industry-standard software like SKM or ETAP (including Short-Circuit, Selective Coordination, and Arc-Flash analysis).  

• Field Data Collection: Conduct detailed field investigations of existing facilities to document electrical infrastructure and verify site conditions.  

• Project Management & Support: Plan and manage individual task time effectively to ensure on-time delivery of project milestones. Help guide and mentor entry-level drafters or junior designers as needed.  

• Construction Administration: Provide construction support services, including reviewing Bill of Materials (BOM), evaluating submittals, drafting final completion reports, and assisting with field troubleshooting.  

• Collaboration: Directly interface with internal engineers, clients, utilities, and construction personnel to ensure project goals and building code requirements are fully met.  

Required Qualifications 

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred) or Mechanical Engineering.  

• Technical Skills: Proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit is required. Familiarity with SKM, ETAP, or Visual/AGi32 lighting software is highly preferred.  

• Knowledge: Strong foundational understanding of three-phase power, circuit analysis, and the National Electrical Code (NEC).  

• Licensure: EIT (Engineer-in-Training) designation is a plus, but not strictly required for a designer track.  

Professional Attributes 

• Ability to manage tasks across multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.  

• Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting and client cross-collaboration.  

• Highly detail-oriented with a sharp focus on accuracy, safety, and quality in construction documentation.
