We are seeking Electrical Engineers at both the graduate level and experienced level in the building design industry. Qualified candidates are ready to be in an entry-level, mid-level, or senior-level role who desire to lead engineering projects as part of our multi-disciplinary Architecture, Engineering, and Interior Design firm. They will be responsible for designing lighting, power and low-voltage systems on a variety of projects, as well as fostering client relationships and performing construction administration.
Design Collaborative’s Electrical engineers certainly possess the pragmatic skills and abilities needed to analyze and develop electrical systems for construction projects, but their role in building design doesn’t end there. While providing the technical excellence necessary to bring architectural and engineering concepts to life, DC’s Electrical Engineers push the envelope in the more conceptual, aesthetic world that is lighting design. Whether it is measuring the ergonomic effects of a lighting scheme or researching the latest concepts in energy management, their ability to see beyond presented information and get to the best solution sets them apart.
