About the Role 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 vigente 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 ability to move several smaller projects through production quickly.
- Experience with Bluebeam, Navisworks, or similar coordination/review tools.
- Experience reviewing junior designers' work and performing technical QA/QC.

What Success Looks Like A successful person in this role can receive an architectural project, understand the scope, and independently develop the electrical design and construction documents without requiring extensive technical direction .

You should be comfortable moving quickly between projects, making sound electrical design decisions, coordinating with other disciplines, communicating problems early, and delivering high-quality work within the planned project hours.

This Role Is Probably Not the Right Fit If

- Your recent experience is primarily BIM modeling, BIM coordination, or VDC rather than electrical design.
- You usually receive panel schedules, circuiting, conductor sizes, load calculations, or other engineering decisions from another electrical engineer and mainly translate them into Revit.
- You have moved primarily into project management and are no longer regularly producing electrical drawings yourself.
- Your electrical experience is mostly industrial, utility, transmission, substation, or data-center work without meaningful recent commercial building experience.
- You have strong Revit skills but limited experience independently designing electrical building systems.
