• Licensed Professional Engineer preferred
• Familiarity with the use of Autodesk Revit to produce Electrical design documents

• Experience in power, lighting, and communications systems for buildings as well as some experience with power distribution systems up to 25 kV
• Motivation to lead, mentor and contribute toward team's success
• Practiced in managing multiple projects simultaneously

We might be a great match for each other if you are:

• A self-starter with great time management skills who thrives in an environment with team-based decision making.
• An individual who strives to learn and grow, is motivated by their team's success and works hard to ensure it.
• Someone who enjoys trying new ideas and constantly improving.
