We are seeking a Engineering Project Manager
to lead the design, coordination, and implementation of complex industrial and commercial electrical systems. This role bridges the gap between engineering and construction – ensuring designs are buildable, efficient, and aligned with field operations.

• Serve as the engineering lead for plan/specification, design-assist, and design-build electrical projects.
• Lead the development and coordination of electrical designs, including one-line diagrams, power distribution, lighting and receptacle layouts, controls, and system sizing, ensuring compliance with NEC and local codes.
• Interpret construction documents, cut sheets, and multi-discipline drawings to clearly define electrical scope and design intent.
• Utilize AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks to produce coordinated, installation-ready documents and lead electrical BIM coordination to ensure clash-free integration with other trades.
• Collaborate with constructability and field teams to incorporate prefabrication, productivity, and installation efficiency into design decisions.
• Support value engineering efforts to deliver cost-effective solutions without compromising performance or quality.
• Partner with project managers, estimators, and field operations to align design deliverables with project schedules, budgets, and execution plans.
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure all design deliverables are complete, accurate, and field-ready.
• Lead, mentor, and develop engineering and design staff while promoting a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Participate in design reviews, client meetings, and preconstruction efforts, providing technical input in support of business development and proposals.

• Bachelors or associate’s in electrical engineering (or related discipline) or relevant field experience.
• 5+ years of experience designing industrial and commercial electrical systems in a design-build or design-assist environment.
• PE License is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit and Navisworks
