Lead Electrical Engineer

Location - Raleigh NC

Job Description

We're looking for an experienced Lead Electrical Engineer who thrives on complexity and creativity. This is not a cookie-cutter design role—our clients often bring us problems, not blueprints. Your mission? Investigate, innovate, and implement solutions that work in the real world.

From concept to construction, you'll take full ownership of projects, ensuring designs are practical, efficient, and buildable. Most projects involve renovations in mission-critical environments, where precision and problem-solving skills make all the difference.

If you want engaging projects, direct client impact, and a company that values doing things right the first time, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Lead electrical system design for new builds and renovations
• Act as assistant project manager, managing schedules, budgets, and deliverables
• Conduct field investigations, code reviews, and site surveys
• Mentor junior engineers and coordinate multidisciplinary teams
• Build client relationships and help maintain our 95% referral rate

Qualifications

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or related)
• 10–20 years of experience in power distribution, lighting, and controls
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required
• Strong skills in AutoCAD or Revit, AGI32, SKM or Easypower
• Proven leadership and communication skills
• Fieldwork experience, including the ability to handle site conditions

Bonus Points For:

• MV (Medium-Voltage) distribution experience
• RCDD certification
• Federal sector experience (UFC, UFGS, FAR)
• Existing client relationships in NC/SC, Mid-Atlantic, or South-Central U.S.
• Knowledge of higher education and NC State Construction Office systems

Must Have:

U.S. Citizenship (due to government project access)
