• 10+ years of relevant experience (consulting background preferred)

• Strong NEC knowledge and design documentation skills

• Experience with tools such as AutoCAD MEP, Revit, and SKM (or similar)

• Experience with short circuit, coordination, arc flash, and photometric studies

• Clear client-facing communication and the ability to work with limited oversight
