Job description

Electrical Project Engineer

$125000 - $160000 per year | Mojave, CA | On-site | Permanent

Join a nationwide engineering firm on a cutting-edge construction project near the Antelope Valley!

A bit about us:

Our client is a 100% employee-owned, multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm that has served communities across the nation for more than 50 years. They're looking for a licensed Electrical PE to be their onsite engineering lead on a major new industrial construction project in California's high desert, with a full engineering team supporting them remotely. It's a chance to own the electrical side of a large build from the field.

Why join us?

You’ll be the go-to electrical engineer on a major build from day one, owning the field calls instead of being one name on a long org chart, with an established engineering team supporting you remotely.

Job Details

Take charge of complex electrical construction projects that power heavy industrial operations and large-load facilities. This permanent opportunity is ideal for a hands-on electrical engineering professional who enjoys solving field challenges, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and driving projects from design through commissioning.

You’ll help connect engineering intent with construction execution, supporting safe, code-compliant installations while keeping scope, budget, procurement, and delivery milestones on track.

Responsibilities

• Lead electrical field engineering and construction coordination across low- and medium-voltage systems for heavy industrial and large-load facility projects.


• Coordinate with utilities to support service planning, capacity requirements, interconnections, energization schedules, and project execution.


• Review electrical designs, blueprints, specifications, equipment submittals, and installation details for constructability, completeness, and compliance with applicable building and electrical codes.


• Oversee requests for information (RFIs) and requests for proposals (RFPs), ensuring technical questions, scope requirements, and responses are clearly documented and resolved promptly.


• Support engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities, aligning design decisions, purchasing requirements, and field installation priorities.


• Serve as an owner’s representative when required, communicating project needs, evaluating contractor performance, and protecting owner interests throughout construction.


• Coordinate electrical work with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) teams, general contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and other project stakeholders.


• Use Revit and Navisworks to review models, identify clashes, and improve interdisciplinary coordination.


• Support budgeting, cost reviews, estimates, change evaluations, and financial tracking to maintain scope alignment and cost visibility.


• Manage vendor coordination and equipment delivery planning, tracking lead times and resolving procurement or delivery issues that could affect construction schedules.


• Coordinate installation planning involving heavy electrical equipment, including access, placement, rigging interfaces, and site logistics.


• Coordinate and review arc flash studies, ensuring findings inform equipment labeling, design decisions, and electrical safety planning.


• Troubleshoot field conditions, document technical resolutions, and support inspections, testing, commissioning, punch-list completion, and project turnover.

Qualifications

• CA PE License is required.


• 5+ years of relevant experience in electrical construction, electrical field engineering, or a closely related discipline.


• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.


• Demonstrated experience supporting heavy industrial projects and large-load facilities.


• Strong knowledge of low- and medium-voltage electrical systems, electrical design, blueprint reading, and building and electrical code application.


• Experience with utility coordination, EPC project delivery, and MEP coordination.


• Experience overseeing RFIs and RFPs, reviewing technical documentation, and resolving construction-phase engineering issues.


• Owner’s representative experience, including coordination with owners, contractors, consultants, and vendors.


• Working proficiency with Revit and Navisworks, or equivalent modeling and coordination tools.


• Experience with budgeting, cost review, vendor management, and equipment delivery coordination.


• Familiarity with arc flash studies and their application to electrical construction and operational safety is a plus.


• Experience coordinating heavy equipment installation and working effectively in active construction environments.


• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to balance technical quality, safety, schedule, and cost.
