Employment Type: Full-time
Salary Range: $85,000 – $130,000 base (plus potential commission, DOE)

Design electrical systems that make buildings work — efficiently, reliably, and creatively.

A full-service engineering firm is hiring an Electrical Engineer to lead power and lighting system design across commercial, industrial, high-tech, and mixed-use building types. The team works on everything from Fortune 500 campuses to small business sites — offering broad exposure, technical growth, and real leadership opportunities.

This is a fully on-site role based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with some travel to local job sites (mostly day trips). The firm values clarity, collaboration, and curiosity — and supports professional licensure, mentorship, and long-term development.

What you’ll do:

• Design and develop electrical systems: equipment selection, layout, specification, and construction documents

• Perform electrical load calculations and engineering studies

• Coordinate with other engineering disciplines to ensure seamless project integration

• Manage project milestones and design quality, while mentoring junior team members

• Lead or support small project teams within the electrical division

• Prepare and present internal “lunch-and-learn” sessions

• Stay current with applicable codes (e.g., NEC) and industry standards

• Contribute to a collaborative design culture that values practical solutions and real-world insight

What you bring:

• 5+ years of experience with electrical systems design in an engineering consulting environment

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering

• Proven ability to lead small teams and manage design scopes

• PE license preferred (or in progress)

• Familiarity with Revit, AutoCAD, and NCEES registration

• A grounded, practical approach to design — field experience and buildability mindset a plus

Why this role:

• Be part of a tight-knit, multidisciplinary team that values growth and mentorship

• Design diverse, impactful projects instead of being siloed

• Gain visibility and ownership in a growing, well-established firm

• Competitive salary with bonus/commission potential tied to performance

• Work in a firm that actively supports your licensure and long-term development

Important:
Only candidates currently residing in — or actively relocating to — the San Francisco Bay Area will be considered. This is a fully on-site role. No remote or hybrid.
