Electrical Engineer - Mission Critical

HED is an inclusive, integrated architecture and engineering practice seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to independently own portions of project design, documentation, and coordination. The role supports electrical project delivery from concept through construction, including calculations, code research, QAQC, multidisciplinary coordination, client interaction, and emerging mentorship.

Responsibilities:

• Lead design development and electrical calculations for assigned electrical systems across schematic, design development, and construction document phases
• Independently perform lighting and power load calculations, feeder sizing, short circuit studies, and NEC compliance checks with minimal input
• Prepare technical documentation for electrical systems, including system descriptions, Division 26 specifications, equipment schedules, and redline markups
• Develop and review electrical system layouts in Revit—including power, lighting, fire alarm, and single-line diagrams—in coordination with architectural and structural backgrounds
• Coordinate electrical design with internal disciplines (mechanical, plumbing, lighting, sustainability) and external consultants (e.g., low voltage, civil) to resolve design conflicts
• Review and respond to electrical RFIs and submittals, with support from senior engineers as needed
• Perform field verification for electrical conditions, assist with punch walks, and participate in electrical construction observation visits
• Participate in early-phase project design strategy discussions and support electrical discipline leads with technical input
• Engage in internal QAQC processes and perform peer reviews of electrical drawings and documentation for code compliance and drafting consistency
• Begin mentoring electrical designers and interns on software use, modeling best practices, documentation standards, and calculation basics
• Participate in internal and external project meetings, and support the preparation of agendas, meeting minutes, and follow-up documentation with a focus on electrical scope
• Track and manage hours on assigned electrical work and assist in project planning discussions regarding scope and resource allocation
