• 4-8 years of experience in electrical design, preferably with exposure to airfield lighting, transportation, utility, or aviation infrastructure projects
• EIT certification required; PE license or progress toward licensure strongly preferred
• Familiarity with FAA Advisory Circulars (e.g., AC 150/5340 series), ICAO standards, or aviation electrical design criteria preferred
• Experience or exposure to constant current regulator (CCR) systems, series lighting circuits, ductbanks, grounding systems, and power distribution systems preferred
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit, and/or Civil 3D; familiarity with airfield lighting design tools is a plus
• Ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams and support project deliverables across multiple assignments
• Strong communication skills, positive attitude, and willingness to learn from senior engineers and project managers
• Ability to manage priorities, multi-task, and produce high-quality technical work in a fast‑paced environment
• Desire to continue growing expertise in aviation and airfield electrical engineering
