Job description

We’re partnered with a leading, 100% employee-owned full-service MEP design and consulting firm, known for their innovative approach and dynamic projects across retail, restaurant, entertainment, commercial, and multifamily sectors. With a collaborative culture and strong focus on technical excellence, this is a place where engineering leaders can truly make an impact and support the continued development of a talented electrical team.

They’re now looking to hire a Senior / Electrical Team Lead to lead and support a team of Electrical Designers, remain actively involved in project delivery, and work collaboratively across the wider Electrical function.

The Role

As Senior / Electrical Team Lead, you’ll be responsible for approximately six Electrical Designers across varying levels of experience, providing day-to-day leadership, technical guidance, mentoring, and support.

The position is approximately 40% people/team management and 60% project-focused, so you’ll remain actively involved in project delivery while maintaining visibility across your team’s workload, priorities, and performance.

The wider Electrical team operates across three segments, so agility and adaptability will be important. You’ll work collaboratively across the function, stepping in to support different areas of the team as requirements and project demands evolve.

This is a leadership role for someone who gives their team autonomy without micromanaging, but remains engaged, asks the right questions, and is willing to dig deeper when support is needed.

What You’ll Bring

• Ideally 10–15+ years of relevant electrical/MEP engineering experience
• Professional Engineer (PE) licence required
• Previous management or team leadership experience desirable
• Experience mentoring and supporting junior engineers/designers
• Strong technical electrical engineering background within an MEP environment
• Experience across retail, restaurant, entertainment, commercial, office, or multifamily projects would be particularly relevant
• Proven ability to mentor and develop engineers and designers across varying levels of experience
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across multidisciplinary teams
• An agile and adaptable approach, with the ability to support different areas of the Electrical function when required
• A collaborative and supportive leadership style, balancing team autonomy with strong oversight and accountability

• Competitive salary with flexibility depending on experience
• Employee ownership plan (ESOP)
• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• Hybrid working arrangements
• Professional development opportunities and certification support
• Inclusive, collaborative company culture with regular social events

Full remote, anywhere across the US.
