Senior Electrical Engineer - Construction Phase

Your new company

A well-established, multidisciplinary engineering consultancy delivering large, complex projects across healthcare, life sciences, mission critical, and infrastructure sectors. The firm has a strong presence in the Northeast and a reputation for technical excellence and long-term client relationships.

Your new role

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will lead electrical delivery during the construction phase of major projects. Acting as the electrical point of contact on site, you will take ownership from handover through closeout, working closely with contractors, construction managers, architects, and owners. This is a senior, hands on role with real responsibility and visibility, suited to an engineer who enjoys being close to construction and leading work in the field.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading electrical activities during the construction phase through turnover

  • Attending and representing the engineering team at construction meetings

  • Reviewing submittals, RFIs, shop drawings, and change requests

  • Producing site visit reports and punch lists

  • Coordinating with mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, and controls disciplines

  • Mentoring and supporting junior electrical engineers involved in construction phase work

  • Design teams provide technical support where required, but you will own day to day electrical delivery during construction.

What you'll need to succeed


  • BS in Electrical Engineering

  • Relevant electrical engineering experience

  • 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

  • Fire alarm design and construction experience (NYC experience advantageous)

  • Experience mentoring or leading engineers

  • Strong written communication and organizational skills


What you'll get in return


  • Base salary of $145,000–$160,000, with flexibility

  • Comprehensive benefits package including healthcare, retirement plan, and paid time off

  • Senior level responsibility on large, technically complex projects

  • Long term career opportunity within a stable and well respected consultancy
