Lead Electrical Engineer - Power Systems

Lead Electrical Engineer Power System Analysis

We are seeking a highly motivated Lead Electrical Engineer with strong expertise in Power System Analysis to join our growing engineering team. This is a unique opportunity to step into a leadership role that is positioned to evolve into Director of Engineering as the firm continues to expand. The ideal candidate will bring both deep technical knowledge and a proven ability to mentor and guide others. You will lead critical projects, support junior engineers in their development, and ensure that high-quality electrical solutions are delivered across a portfolio of commercial, healthcare, education, and mission-critical projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform detailed power system analyses including short circuit, load flow, coordination, arc flash, and voltage drop studies.
• Develop and review electrical system models using software such as ETAP, SKM, or EasyPower.
• Collaborate with architects, mechanical engineers, and project managers to deliver fully integrated designs.
• Provide quality control, peer review, and technical leadership on electrical studies and reports.
• Mentor and train junior engineers, supporting their technical growth and project execution skills.
• Support proposal development, client meetings, and serve as the technical lead in project discussions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 7+ years of electrical design experience with a strong emphasis on power system studies.
• Proficiency with SKM Power Tools, ETAP, or EasyPower.
• Strong leadership traits with a proven ability to mentor and manage engineers.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to thrive in a collaborative environment.
• PE license preferred (EITs actively pursuing PE will be considered).

Ideal Candidate

• 15+ years of experience with a PE license and prior leadership or management experience.
• At least 5 years of hands-on Power System Analysis experience.
• Career-oriented, detail-focused, and seeking a long-term leadership opportunity.

What This Role Is (and Isn't)

• This is not a traditional power and lighting design role. While some minor redesigns and adjustments in AutoCAD may be needed, the focus is on power studies, leadership, and mentorship.
• This role is designed to evolve into Director of Engineering, managing the technical team while supporting the firm's overall growth strategy.

Why Join

• Be part of a fast-growing firm with strong project demand.
• Step into a role with a clear career path to Director-level leadership.
• Work directly with a collaborative, close-knit team where your expertise and leadership will make an immediate impact.
