Your new role
As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will lead electrical delivery during the construction phase of major projects.

Producing site visit reports and punch lists

Strong construction and site‑based background
Experience delivering complex, infrastructure‑heavy projects (healthcare, life science, data centers, transit, etc.)
Solid understanding of electrical systems and MEP coordination
