We are looking for a Senior Electrical MEP Designer / Engineer to join a U.S.-based architecture and engineering team supporting commercial building projects across the United States.

This is a senior, hands-on production role. The right person should be able to take a project from architectural backgrounds and design criteria through coordinated electrical construction documents with limited supervision.

The team works in a fast-paced environment with multiple projects moving simultaneously, so this role requires someone who is technically strong, highly organized, responsive, and comfortable producing accurate work quickly.

This is not primarily a BIM coordination or project management position. We are looking for someone who is still actively designing and producing electrical building systems in Revit.

What You’ll Do

  • Independently develop electrical designs for commercial building projects.
  • Produce electrical construction documents in Revit and AutoCAD.
  • Design power and lighting systems, including:
  • Load calculations
  • Panel schedules
  • Branch circuits
  • Feeder and conductor sizing
  • Breaker and protection selection
  • Power distribution
  • Lighting and receptacle layouts
  • Equipment connections
  • Single-line diagrams
  • Grounding and related electrical systems
  • Coordinate electrical systems with architecture, mechanical, plumbing, structural, and other disciplines.
  • Take projects through design development, construction documents, permitting, revisions, and issuance.
  • Review drawings and calculations for technical accuracy and code compliance.
  • Resolve coordination issues, RFIs, comments, and design revisions efficiently.
  • Manage several projects at different stages while meeting deadlines and planned design hours.
  • Communicate directly and clearly with project managers, engineers, architects, and other team members.
  • Support or review the work of junior designers when necessary while remaining personally involved in production.
  • Identify issues early and work independently to keep projects moving.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • 6–9+ years of relevant electrical building design experience, with clear senior-level technical capability.
  • Strong recent experience designing electrical MEP systems for buildings.
  • Currently or recently hands-on with electrical production, not primarily working in management or oversight.
  • Ability to independently develop an electrical project with limited supervision.
  • Strong hands-on proficiency with Revit, specifically for electrical/MEP production.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD.
  • Recent experience with commercial building projects.
  • Strong understanding of electrical construction documents and how to take a project through a complete CD package.
  • Experience performing electrical calculations and making actual engineering/design decisions rather than only modeling information supplied by another engineer.
  • Strong multidisciplinary MEP coordination experience.
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines and work efficiently in a fast-paced production environment.
  • Strong English communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • Ability to overlap consistently with U.S. Central Time business hours.

Strongly Preferred

  • Experience with retail, restaurant, QSR, tenant improvement, hospitality, or similar fast-turn commercial projects.
  • Experience supporting U.S.-based architecture or engineering projects.
  • Familiarity with the NEC, NFPA standards, and U.S. electrical code requirements.
  • Experience with permitting and responding to AHJ comments.
  • Experience with repeat-client, prototype, rollout, or multi-site programs.
  • Demonstrated abilit
