We’re looking for an experienced Electrical Design Engineer to develop building electrical systems for high-rise and large-scale commercial projects. The successful candidate will bring strong Revit and AutoCAD capabilities, hands-on experience producing construction-ready design packages, and the ability to coordinate technical work across multiple engineering disciplines.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop electrical system designs for high-rise offices, condominiums, hotels, airports, municipal buildings, industrial facilities, and other complex commercial properties.
- Produce electrical plans, layouts, details, specifications, and construction documents using Revit and AutoCAD.
- Complete electrical load calculations, establish system requirements, select appropriate equipment, and prepare power distribution and lighting layouts.
- Apply relevant electrical codes, building regulations, and engineering standards throughout the design process.
- Examine architectural, structural, and MEP drawings to identify design conflicts, omissions, and coordination issues.
- Collaborate with mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, structural, and other design professionals to ensure integrated project documentation.
- Check drawings and technical packages for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and constructability.
- Respond to construction-phase questions, assist with technical coordination, and incorporate required design revisions.
- Manage assigned design deliverables from early development through final construction documentation.
- Coordinate with project managers and engineering teams to resolve technical challenges, meet deadlines, and maintain design quality.
Requirements
- 5+ years of electrical engineering or building systems design experience; experience in an MEP consulting firm is preferred.
- Demonstrated experience designing electrical systems for high-rise buildings or complex commercial developments.
- Advanced proficiency in both Revit and AutoCAD is required.
- Experience with commercial facilities such as office buildings, condominiums, hotels, airports, industrial properties, or municipal buildings.
- Strong knowledge of building electrical systems, load calculations, applicable codes, and engineering design standards.
- Ability to interpret and coordinate architectural, structural, electrical, and other MEP construction drawings.
- Experience preparing detailed electrical designs and construction documentation.
- Strong communication, coordination, organization, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to manage multiple design assignments while maintaining accuracy and meeting project deadlines.
Preferred: Previous experience working for an MEP consulting firm in South Florida.
Important: Candidates with residential-only electrical design experience will not qualify. Relevant commercial building or high-rise design experience is essential.
Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.
- Health insurance options.
- Retirement plan options.
- Paid time off.
