Full-time Paid Overtime Career Leadership Role

We're hiring a Lead Electrical Engineer to oversee major pharmaceutical design projects with a leading global engineering firm in growth mode. You'll be responsible for leading teams, owning design scopes, and delivering technical excellence across mission-critical, process-driven facilities.

• Join a firm with strong project pipelines, career advancement, and a collaborative culture

What you'll do:

• Lead electrical design for large-scale pharma facilities from feasibility to detailed design
• Manage and mentor project teams, oversee document production, and maintain QA/QC
• Coordinate with clients, project managers, and design professionals across disciplines
• Perform and review technical calculations (load studies, arc flash, conduit sizing, etc.)
• Write scopes of work, review contractor submittals, and guide project execution
• Drive continuous improvement in tools, methods, and standards across the team

You'll bring:

• 10+ years of experience in building electrical systems (distribution, life safety, standby power, etc.)
• Background in pharma, F&B, oil & gas, or another regulated/process industry
• Strong MEP consulting and design-to-construction experience
• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering + Professional Engineer (PE) preferred
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit, and tools like SKM, EasyPower, AmpCalc
• Experience leading teams, mentoring engineers, and owning project delivery

This is a mission-critical role at the heart of a growing, high-performing team. If you're a technical leader who thrives in complex design environments and wants to shape the future of pharma engineering, we want to hear from you.
