Project Electrical Engineer
- $125,000 - $160,000
- Mojave, CA
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
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.
