 Ideal Candidate

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer who understands how electrical systems are actually installed in the field, not only how they are represented on engineering drawings.

The ideal candidate should be able to review electrical designs, identify potential installation problems, develop practical solutions based on field conditions, and produce accurate drawings that Superintendents, Foremen, and Electricians can use for construction.

Experience supporting large industrial or semiconductor construction projects is highly preferred.
