Senior Electrical Engineer

Seattle, WA |$110,000 - $140,000 | Full-Time

Are you a seasoned Electrical Engineer with 7-12 years of experience designing electrical systems for commercial and industrial buildings? We’re looking for a licensed Professional Engineer to lead electrical design on a diverse portfolio that ranges from small tenant improvements to 500,000+ SF advanced manufacturing facilities, including K-12 and higher education, healthcare, civic, and mission-critical projects. You’ll bring strong technical depth across power distribution, lighting and lighting controls, low-voltage and special systems, fire alarm, and building decarbonization/electrification infrastructure. Just as important, you’ll lead client meetings, translate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences, and coordinate across multiple disciplines, both in-house and with external sub-consultants, to deliver integrated, high-performing projects.

Client & Stakeholder Engagement:

• Lead client meetings, present design concepts and progress, and translate complex technical information into clear, accessible language for non-technical stakeholders.
• Maintain vendor and supplier relationships; evaluate product data and coordinate selection.
• Provide oversight and mentorship to junior technical staff and support onboarding/training.

Compliance & Innovation:

• Ensure designs meet the currently adopted NEC edition, Washington State Energy Code (WSEC-C), local agency standards, and all applicable codes.
• Stay current with emerging technologies and tools, including new Revit add-ins, lighting design software and power study programs.
