Support engineers pursuing professional licensure and expanded project responsibilities.
Foster a collaborative, practical, and solutions-oriented engineering culture.

Technical Design and Engineering Oversight

Direct and participate in electrical system studies, calculations, equipment selection, design development, and construction-document preparation.
Oversee projects involving:
Level 2 EV charging infrastructure
DC fast-charging infrastructure
Electrical service and distribution upgrades
Interior, exterior, roadway, parking-area, and site lighting
Distributed solar photovoltaic systems
Battery energy storage systems
Standby and emergency generation
Automatic transfer systems, microgrids, and related controls
Review load calculations, short-circuit and coordination studies, voltage-drop calculations, arc-flash analyses, lighting calculations, and equipment ratings.
Evaluate existing electrical infrastructure and develop practical upgrade strategies that account for capacity, constructability, cost, operational continuity, and future expansion.
Provide technical guidance on utility service requirements, interconnection applications, permitting, equipment selection, and code compliance.
Sign and seal engineering documents when serving as the Engineer of Record.
Support construction administration through submittal reviews, responses to requests for information, field observations, commissioning support, and resolution of design or installation issues.
Manage utility interconnections for distributed generation (DG) projects and new service upgrades including handling negotiation of discretionary technical requirements with utility stakeholders.

Quality Assurance and Standardization ** **

Establish and maintain engineering design standards, calculation templates, specifications, drawing details, checklists, and quality-control procedures.
Perform and coordinate technical and interdisciplinary reviews at appropriate project milestones.
Confirm that designs comply with applicable codes, standards, owner requirements, utility requirements, and permitting authority expectations.
Promote consistency and repeatability across programs involving multiple sites, jurisdictions, utilities, and construction phases.
Incorporate lessons learned from permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operations into future designs.
Help evaluate and implement engineering software, workflow tools, and design automation.

Project and Program Delivery

Provide technical and delivery oversight for individual projects and portfolio-scale programs.
Work with project managers to develop scopes, engineering fees, schedules, staffing plans, and deliverable requirements.
Monitor design progress, engineering budgets, technical risks, and resource constraints.
Identify potential schedule, permitting, utility, procurement, and constructability issues early and develop mitigation strategies.
Coordinate with civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, controls, energy, construction, and operations teams.
Support phased deployments and standardized design approaches across geographically distributed client facilities.
Maintain clear documentation of engineering decisions, design assumptions, deviations, and approvals.

Client, Utility, and Stakeholder Engagement

Serve as a trusted technical advisor to clients throughout planning, design, permitting, construction, and commissioning.
Translate complex engineering issues into clear recommendations for technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
Lead select high stakes technical meetings with clients, utilities, authorities having jurisdiction, contractors, vendors, and project partners.
Support facility assessments, feasibility studies, capital planning, electrification road maps, and infrastructure master plans.
Participate in proposal development, interviews, and technical presentations.
Identify opportunities to complete more “in-house” engineering scope.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering from an accredited program.
