Senior Electrical Engineer

Full-time, on-site

About Us

PEC is a 150-person, employee-owned (ESOP) engineering consulting firm delivering practical solutions in electrical, telecommunications, and infrastructure design. If you're coming from a large corporate environment and want less bureaucracy, more ownership, and real impact, this is a chance to join a smaller, collaborative team where your work genuinely matters—and where you share in the results.

The Role

We're seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our three-person electrical team. The role is driven by the planned retirement of a senior engineer, who will remain on board to mentor and transition responsibilities—creating a rare, high-visibility opportunity to step into a lead role with real runway to grow into it. You'll take ownership of design, client interaction, and project execution from concept through construction on a variety of industrial projects.

What You'll Do

• Help lead our electrical design team—supporting clients with project concept, scope development, proposal preparation, and the coordination of construction documents
• Design electrical systems, including power distribution, motor controls, and industrial facility systems
• Develop drawings, specifications, and calculations (one-lines, load studies, and similar)
• Coordinate daily with our well-established design partners to deliver successful projects
• Conduct site visits and field investigations, and work directly with clients
• Support construction through site visits, RFIs, submittals, and troubleshooting

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
• 6+ years of experience, primarily in industrial electrical design—strong mid-career candidates ready to grow into the lead role are encouraged to apply
• Professional Engineer (PE) license, or on track to obtain licensure
• Strong working knowledge of the NEC and applicable codes
• Experience with AutoCAD, Revit, or similar tools
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects

Why This Role Stands Out

• Employee ownership (ESOP): share directly in the company's long-term success
• Real impact: hands-on involvement in projects from concept through construction
• Small-team environment: no silos—your voice and expertise carry weight
• Clear growth path: step into the lead role in the near term as part of a planned, mentored succession
• Established design partners and long-standing relationships with industrial clients
