Senior Electrical Engineer

Jacksonville, Florida, We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to join our Jacksonville, Florida office. This position is intended for a hands-on senior engineer and project leader capable of independently managing the electrical engineering scope of projects from initial concept and design through construction completion. The Senior Electrical Engineer will be responsible for the design, coordination, management, and technical oversight of electrical systems for commercial, industrial, municipal, and educational projects. The successful candidate will work directly with clients, architects, contractors, and other engineering disciplines while providing technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and designers. This position requires a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer with substantial consulting engineering experience who is comfortable taking ownership of projects, making engineering decisions independently, and signing and sealing electrical construction documents. Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Serve as the lead electrical engineer and project manager for assigned projects from project kickoff through construction completion. Develop and oversee electrical designs for commercial, industrial, municipal, and educational facilities. Design and specify electrical power distribution systems, including service entrances, switchboards, panelboards, transformers, feeders, branch circuits, and associated equipment. Perform lighting and lighting control system design, including photometric calculations and energy-code compliance. Design emergency and standby power systems, including generators, automatic transfer switches, and related distribution systems. Design fire alarm and life-safety systems in accordance with applicable codes and project requirements. Develop low-voltage system designs and infrastructure requirements, including data and telecommunications pathways, cabling infrastructure, equipment spaces, and coordination with specialty system providers. Perform electrical calculations including load calculations, voltage-drop calculations, available fault-current calculations, short-circuit studies, protective-device coordination studies, and other engineering analyses as required. Prepare technical specifications, design narratives, calculations, reports, and other project documentation. Produce and oversee the preparation of construction documents using Revit and/or AutoCAD. Review drawings, specifications, calculations, and other engineering documents for technical accuracy, code compliance, constructability, and coordination. Provide QA/QC review of electrical engineering work prepared by other engineers and designers. Sign and seal electrical engineering drawings, specifications, calculations, and other documents for which the engineer is responsible. Coordinate electrical systems with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, civil, and other project disciplines. Communicate directly with architects, owners, facility representatives, contractors, vendors, and other project stakeholders. Participate in and lead client meetings, design coordination meetings, and construction meetings. Manage project scope, schedule, budget, deliverables, and electrical engineering resources. Identify project issues and develop practical, technically sound solutions with limited oversight. Perform site surveys and field investigations of existing electrical systems. Conduct construction-phase site visits and observations. Provide construction administration services, including review of submittals and shop drawings, responses to RFIs, preparation of supplemental information, review of contractor questions, and resolution of field conditions. Assist with project proposals, scopes of work, fee development, and project planning as required. Develop and maintain strong professional relationships with clients and project partners. Mentor, supervise, and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and electrical designers. Delegate work effectively and review the work of engineering and design staff. Assist in developing engineering standards, design procedures, details, specifications, and quality-control practices. Effectively utilize artificial intelligence tools and other emerging technologies to improve productivity, support problem solving, assist with engineering research and design development, and streamline routine technical and administrative tasks while maintaining appropriate professional judgment and independent verification. Maintain knowledge of current codes, standards, technologies, and industry practices affecting electrical engineering design.

Position Expectations The Senior Electrical Engineer is expected to operate with a high degree of independence and professional judgment. This position will have responsibility for the technical quality of assigned projects and is expected to identify and resolve design, coordination, and construction issues without requiring significant day-to-day supervision. The successful candidate will be expected to balance hands-on engineering and design responsibilities with project management, client communication, QA/QC, staff leadership, and mentorship. The position requires an individual who is willing to remain actively involved in the technical details of projects while also providing leadership to the engineering team. The engineer is also expected to effectively incorporate modern technology, including AI-assisted tools, into their workflow where appropriate. Such tools are intended to enhance efficiency and problem solving and do not replace the engineer's professional judgment, technical review, or responsibility for the final engineering work product. Work Location and Travel

Full-time, salaried position. Primarily in-office at our Jacksonville, Florida location. Local project site visits are required. Occasional travel outside the Jacksonville area may be required based on project needs.

Benefits This position includes a competitive compensation and benefits package. Specific benefits and compensation will be discussed during the interview process. Required Qualifications
