and emergency power, lighting, lighting controls, fire alarm, telecommunications pathways,

grounding, and lightning protection.

• Perform and direct load calculations, short-circuit and coordination studies, arc-flash analysis, and voltage drop calculations using SKM, ETAP, or equivalent tools.

• Coordinate closely with utility companies on service entrance, vault, and metering requirements

for high-rise buildings, including familiarity with Con Edison and similar urban utility standards.

• Produce and review construction documents — single-line diagrams, riser diagrams, panel

schedules, and specifications — ensuring compliance with NEC, NFPA, NYC Energy Conservation

Code, ASHRAE 90.1, and applicable local amendments.

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for clients, architects, owners, and contractors

throughout all project phases, from schematic design through construction administration and

closeout.

• Review submittals, shop drawings, and RFIs; conduct site visits and punch lists; and resolve field

conditions with practical, code-compliant solutions.

• Mentor and develop junior and mid-level engineers and designers; review their work and

contribute to their professional growth.

• Support business development by participating in project pursuits, fee proposals, and client

presentations.

• Stay current on evolving technologies, including building electrification, EV charging infrastructure, microgrids, energy storage, and resiliency strategies for high-rise environments.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.

• 8–12+ years of progressive consulting engineering experience designing electrical systems for

commercial buildings; significant high-rise experience strongly preferred.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license required; New York State licensure preferred (or ability to

obtain within 6 months).

• Deep working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70, NFPA 72, NFPA 110, NYC Electrical Code, NYC Energy

Conservation Code, and ASHRAE 90.1.

• Proven experience leading the electrical design effort on projects of $50M+ construction value

through all design phases.

• Proficiency with Revit MEP and AutoCAD; demonstrated ability to lead BIM coordination.

• Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience in SKM PowerTools, ETAP, or equivalent power system modeling software.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to lead client meetings and present technical content to non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.

• LEED AP, WELL AP, or other recognized sustainability credential.

• Experience with mission-critical, financial trading floor, or large corporate tenant projects.

• Familiarity with daylighting, advanced lighting controls (DALI, 0–10V, networked systems), and

tunable-white systems.

• Experience designing EV charging, on-site generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS), or

microgrid infrastructure in dense urban environments.

What You Can Expect

• A portfolio of marquee projects — the kind of buildings that define skylines.

• A collegial, technically rigorous studio culture that values engineering excellence and craft.

• A clear path to Associate, Senior Associate, and Principal roles for those who lead well and design

well.

• Competitive base salary, performance bonus, comprehensive medical/dental/vision, 401(k) with
