Electrical Engineer 3

Job Description

We’re seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer III to lead the design and engineering of facility electrical systems—including power distribution, lighting, grounding, and life safety systems. This is not a controls or automation role. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in building electrical infrastructure and be comfortable managing scope, budget, and coordination across disciplines.

You’ll work on small to medium-sized projects, collaborating with architects, engineers, clients, construction managers, subcontractors, vendors, and manufacturers. Your work will directly impact the creation of high-performance spaces in the life sciences and food & beverage sectors.

The successful candidate can be located in St. Louis, MO, or Columbus, OH. 

What You’ll Do

• Design and engineer electrical systems including:
  • Power distribution
  • Interior and exterior lighting
  • Grounding and bonding
  • Fire alarm, security, and data/telecom systems
  • Raceway and cable tray systems
• Perform electrical calculations:
  • Power load, illumination, short circuit, voltage drop
• Develop:
  • One-line diagrams, basis of design reports, specifications, and construction documents
• Lead design efforts across all phases:
  • Conceptual, schematic, design development, construction documentation, and administration
• Conduct field surveys and identify non-compliant conditions
• Respond to RFIs, review submittals, and support construction activities
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal training initiatives
• Coordinate with internal and external teams to ensure seamless project execution

Qualifications

Required:

• ABET-accredited Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or Engineering Technology
• Minimum 5 years of experience in the AEC industry
• Active PE license (preferably in Missouri)
• Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and electrical design calculations
• Familiarity with codes and standards: NEC, NFPA, IESNA, UL, OSHA, IEEE

Preferred:

• Experience in GMP manufacturing environments
• Proficiency with SKM Powertools or similar electrical analysis software
• Strong coordination skills with vendors and manufacturers
• Willingness to travel (~4–5 days/month)

This position is focused on electrical building systems design. Candidates with a background in controls, automation, or instrumentation will not be considered a match for this role.
