Qualifications:
5-12+ years of electrical engineering or project management experience Background in infrastructure, municipal, transportation, or utility-related projects preferred Experience with electrical design, power distribution, and system coordination Familiarity with NEC and general public agency standards Proficient in AutoCAD (Revit is a plus) Strong communication skills — able to coordinate across teams and interact with clients/agencies PE license or working toward licensure is a plus
