GPTech is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineering Team Lead to support our team's proposal for the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO), Worldwide Architecture and Engineering (A/E) Support Services IDIQ (RFP 19AQMM26R0258). This is a proposal-contingent consulting opportunity with potential for long‑term engagement supporting diplomatic facilities and other U.S. Government infrastructure programs worldwide.
The Electrical Engineering Team Lead will provide senior technical leadership for the planning, assessment, design, modernization, and rehabilitation of electrical systems serving diplomatic facilities and associated infrastructure. Assignments may include complex, multi‑phased building and infrastructure upgrades, renovations of occupied facilities, electrical system assessments, and improvements to critical power and building systems.
The successful candidate will bring demonstrated expertise in electrical engineering design, multidisciplinary coordination, and technical problem‑solving, with the ability to develop and evaluate innovative, practical solutions that address operational requirements, security considerations, constructability, reliability, energy efficiency, and lifecycle costs.
The position may involve both direct engineering design responsibilities and independent technical advisory or design review services, depending on individual task‑order requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

Electrical Engineering Design and Technical Leadership

Lead and perform electrical engineering assessments, planning, design, and technical evaluations for new construction, renovations, infrastructure upgrades, and facility modernization projects.

Develop and review electrical engineering designs, calculations, specifications, drawings, technical reports, and construction documents through successive stages of design development.

Provide technical expertise in electrical power distribution, medium- and low-voltage systems, emergency and standby power, lighting and lighting controls, grounding and lightning protection, and related building electrical systems.

Evaluate existing electrical infrastructure, identify deficiencies and operational vulnerabilities, and develop technically sound, cost-effective solutions for rehabilitation, replacement, or modernization.

Assess electrical system reliability, redundancy, resilience, maintainability, and energy performance, particularly for mission‑critical facilities and infrastructure.

Identify and implement practical engineering innovations that improve system performance, reduce lifecycle costs, address site constraints, or minimize disruption to ongoing facility operations.

Multidisciplinary Design Coordination and Constructability

Coordinate electrical engineering activities with architecture, civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, security, and other technical disciplines to ensure integrated and coordinated design solutions.

Conduct or lead technical design reviews to assess compliance with project requirements, applicable codes and standards, engineering best practices, and operational objectives.

Perform constructability and maintainability reviews of design documents, identifying technical conflicts, design omissions, installation constraints, and potential construction or operational risks.

Evaluate electrical system interfaces with mechanical equipment, building automation, emergency systems, security infrastructure, and other building systems.

Develop design approaches and phasing strategies for electrical infrastructure upgrades in occupied or operational facilities, including temporary power arrangements, shutdown planning, and continuity-of-operations considerations.

Support the development and evaluation of design alternatives, engineering recommendations, technical specifications, and construction cost estimates.

Technical Advisory and Construction-Phase Support

Provide technical consultation during procurement and construction, including review of contractor submittals, shop drawings, equipment selections, requests for information, and proposed design modifications.

Evaluate proposed equipment substitutions and technical changes for compliance with design intent, performance requirements, constructability, and lifecycle considerations.

Support field investigations, construction inspections, and technical assessments to verify electrical system installation and identify deviations from approved design documents.

Assist in resolving technical issues encountered during construction and recommend appropriate engineering solutions.

• Support testing, commissioning, systems integration, and project closeout activities, including review of test results, commissioning documentation, and record drawings.
• Provide technical input on electrical engineering matters affecting project scope, cost, schedule, quality, and risk.

Program Support and Stakeholder Coordination

• Collaborate with OBO representatives, multidisciplinary design teams, project managers, construction contractors, and local engineering professionals to address technical requirements and project constraints.
• Provide engineering recommendations that account for local infrastructure conditions, host‑country requirements, material availability, construction capabilities, and applicable U.S. Government standards.
• Participate in technical meetings, design workshops, and project reviews, presenting findings and recommendations to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
• Prepare concise technical reports, assessments, design review comments, and engineering recommendations that support informed project decision‑making.
• Support multiple concurrent assignments, as required, while maintaining technical quality, responsiveness, and consistency across project deliverables.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
• Minimum 10 years of progressively responsible professional electrical engineering experience, including substantial experience in building systems design, infrastructure modernization, and multidisciplinary project delivery.
• Professional Engineer (PE) registration in the United States.
• Demonstrated experience leading or serving as the senior electrical engineer on complex building, institutional, government, or mission‑critical infrastructure projects.
• Strong technical experience in electrical power distribution, emergency and standby power, lighting, grounding, and related building electrical systems.
• Demonstrated ability to prepare, coordinate, and review electrical engineering design documents, calculations, specifications, and technical reports.
• Experience conducting technical design reviews, constructability assessments, and evaluation of engineering alternatives.
• Working knowledge of applicable U.S. electrical and building codes and standards, including the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), relevant NFPA standards, and applicable International Building Code requirements.
• Experience coordinating electrical design with other architectural and engineering disciplines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present technical findings, recommendations, and design solutions to multidisciplinary teams and clients.
• Ability to support international assignments and travel as required by individual task orders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting U.S. Department of State OBO projects, diplomatic facilities, or other U.S. Government overseas construction and modernization programs.
• Experience designing or evaluating electrical systems for secure, mission‑critical, or continuously occupied facilities.
• International engineering experience, including familiarity with host‑country codes, local construction practices, and coordination with international design and construction teams.
• Experience with electrical system resilience, backup generation, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, microgrids, renewable energy integration, and energy‑efficiency improvements.
• Experience with facility condition assessments, infrastructure master planning, phased modernization programs, and lifecycle cost analysis.
• Familiarity with U.S. Government facility design criteria and relevant security, safety, and operational requirements.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit/BIM, and electrical engineering analysis software such as ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or equivalent applications.
