MEP Engineer – Job Description
Location: St. Louis, MO
Job Type: Full‑Time
Compensation: $120,000 – $150,000
About the Opportunity
Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer eager to make a meaningful impact on complex, high‑performance building systems? Step into a role where your expertise directly shapes innovative projects across commercial, institutional, and healthcare environments.
As an MEP Engineer, you will take a lead role in designing and coordinating advanced electrical systems, ensuring code compliance, optimizing performance, and guiding multidisciplinary teams through every phase of project development. This position is ideal for professionals looking to elevate their career by contributing to large‑scale, mission‑critical building solutions. Insights into similar responsibilities and industry best practices are widely reflected across current MEP engineering job frameworks.
What You Will Do
In this role, you will perform essential engineering functions including:
- Design and develop electrical power service and distribution systems, branch circuits, indoor/outdoor lighting, lighting controls, fire alarm systems, low‑voltage infrastructure, audio/visual systems, and specialty electrical/control systems required to produce detailed construction documents (drawings and specifications).
- Advise clients on electrical system options to meet performance, safety, and compliance requirements.
- Serve as the electrical design lead, providing direction to Drafters/Designers and Apprentice‑level Engineers to meet deadlines and project expectations.
- Conduct field inspections to validate existing site conditions and establish project requirements.
- Collaborate closely with internal and external design teams to ensure seamless project coordination.
- Resolve complex engineering challenges with minimal oversight during both design and construction phases.
- Guide construction teams to ensure accurate implementation of the full design intent.
- Perform project management tasks related to the electrical discipline, including budget review, schedule updates, and developing project communication protocols, standards, and documentation.
Required Capabilities & Credentials
- B.S.E.E. from an accredited university or equivalent experience required; Professional Engineer (PE) preferred.
- 7+ years of electrical engineering design experience—preferably involving building power, lighting, and systems for commercial, institutional, and healthcare facilities.
- Hands-on experience with equipment selection and systems troubleshooting.
- Strong knowledge of electrical construction practices, NFPA standards, and the National Electric Code (NEC).
- Proficiency in MS Office (Excel, OneNote, Outlook, Word).
- Experience using Bluebeam and industry tools such as SKM, Aspen, and/or EasyPower.
- Ability to read and interpret both 2D and 3D drawings accurately.
Benefits & Rewards
You will enjoy a comprehensive, competitive benefits package including:
- Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance (100% employer‑paid for employees)
- Health Savings Account with $1300 employer contribution
- Flexible Spending Account
- Long‑term and Short‑term Disability Coverage
- Life & AD&D Insurance
- 401(k) Plan with Safe Harbor Match
- Employee Stock Purchase Options
- Annual Profit Sharing
- Identity Theft Protection
- Paid Parking
- Annual $300 Wellness Reimbursement
- On‑site fitness center, showers & lockers
- Employee Assistance Program
- Paid Vacation, Sick Time & Holidays (including a personal floating holiday and paid time off between Christmas & New Year's)
- Continuing Education Support & Professional Memberships
- Paid Maternity & Paternity Leave
- Flexible Scheduling, including the ability to work 1 remote day per week
Why This Role Stands Out
This position offers the chance to work on diverse, dynamic projects while enjoying flexible scheduling, deep professional development opportunities, and a supportive engineering-focused environment. Current MEP job templates emphasize that engineers who lead system design, integrate multidisciplinary inputs, and drive high‑performance building outcomes are in extremely high demand—making this the ideal opportunity for seasoned professionals ready to take the next step.
