Job Description

Electrical Engineer — Power, Lighting & Building Systems Design

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, CA (On-Site Only)
Industry: Building Systems Engineering
Employment Type: Full-time
Salary Range: $85,000 – $130,000 base (plus potential commission, DOE)

Design electrical systems that make buildings work — efficiently, reliably, and creatively.

A full-service engineering firm is hiring an Electrical Engineer to lead power and lighting system design across commercial, industrial, high-tech, and mixed-use building types. The team works on everything from Fortune 500 campuses to small business sites — offering broad exposure, technical growth, and real leadership opportunities.

This is a fully on-site role based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with some travel to local job sites (mostly day trips). The firm values clarity, collaboration, and curiosity — and supports professional licensure, mentorship, and long-term development.

What you’ll do:

  • Design and develop electrical systems: equipment selection, layout, specification, and construction documents

  • Perform electrical load calculations and engineering studies

  • Coordinate with other engineering disciplines to ensure seamless project integration

  • Manage project milestones and design quality, while mentoring junior team members

  • Lead or support small project teams within the electrical division

  • Prepare and present internal “lunch-and-learn” sessions

  • Stay current with applicable codes (e.g., NEC) and industry standards

  • Contribute to a collaborative design culture that values practical solutions and real-world insight

What you bring:

  • 5+ years of experience with electrical systems design in an engineering consulting environment

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering

  • Proven ability to lead small teams and manage design scopes

  • PE license preferred (or in progress)

  • Familiarity with Revit, AutoCAD, and NCEES registration

  • A grounded, practical approach to design — field experience and buildability mindset a plus

Why this role:

  • Be part of a tight-knit, multidisciplinary team that values growth and mentorship

  • Design diverse, impactful projects instead of being siloed

  • Gain visibility and ownership in a growing, well-established firm

  • Competitive salary with bonus/commission potential tied to performance

  • Work in a firm that actively supports your licensure and long-term development

Important:
Only candidates currently residing in — or actively relocating to — the San Francisco Bay Area will be considered. This is a fully on-site role. No remote or hybrid.
