Job description

Location: Smyrna, GA (30082)

Pay: $31.25–$33.65/hr (higher possible for strong Revit, internships, or post-grad experience)

Schedule: M–F | Onsite | 6-Month Temp-to-Direct

We’re hiring an Electrical Design Engineer to support power and lighting design for major commercial, industrial, and mission‑critical projects. This role is perfect for someone who wants to work inside an engineering team embedded within an electrical construction firm— not a jobsite trailer role. You’ll collaborate with Project Engineers on large, high‑profile projects for global brands while developing real‑world engineering and construction expertise.

What You’ll Do:

• Model electrical systems in Revit (highly critical) and create power/lighting layouts
• Assist with short circuit and coordination studies in SKM (can be taught)
• Apply the National Electrical Code while laying out building electrical systems
• Build or update Revit families as needed
• Produce reports, documentation, and drawing packages
• Print and prepare large-scale drawing sets for field and PM support
• Improve workflows by writing small macros in Excel or JavaScript
• Support high-quality engineering deliverables with strong attention to detail

What You Need:

• BSEE or BSEET required
• Revit proficiency required (sharp users who can build families preferred)
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Preferred: 3+ years of electrical design for commercial, industrial, or mission‑critical projects
• Preferred: SKM Power Tools experience

Open to December Grads:

Recent graduates are encouraged to apply—especially those with internship experience, Revit exposure, or leadership roles in engineering clubs.

Why This Role Stands Out:

You’ll work in an Electrical Engineering Contractor environment—meaning you gain design experience and understand real‑world field constructability. This team handles major electrical distribution, lighting, fire alarm, security, BAS, IoT, AV, and mission‑critical power systems for clients like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Coca‑Cola.

Additional Details:

• No sponsorship (US Citizen or Permanent Resident only)
• Very limited travel
• Overtime as needed (OT at 1.5x bill rate)
• Background check required (felonies likely disqualifying due to client requirements)
• 5-panel drug screen
