Job description
About the job
All candidates should make sure to read the following job description and information carefully before applying.
Do you enjoy solving building problems that are not obvious at first glance?
At Summer Consultants, we do more than “just design.” Many of our clients come to us knowing the symptoms of a problem, but not the cause. Our work is to investigate, understand what is really happening, develop practical solutions, and help clients choose the right path forward.
Most of our projects are renovations, often focused on MEP/FP systems in existing buildings. That makes the work technically interesting and challenging. You may be figuring out how to fit new electrical equipment into an existing building, how to phase work around ongoing operations, how to coordinate with other disciplines, or how a contractor will actually build the design.
Clients choose Summer Consultants when they want the work done right the first time. We serve federal, institutional, and higher education clients whose facilities support important missions, including government, defense, research, education, and public service.
This role is designed for an Electrical Engineer who is ready for more than task completion. We are looking for someone who can own technical work, coordinate across disciplines, support project execution, communicate clearly, mentor earlier-career staff, and continue building the judgment required for future project and team leadership.
You do not need to have mastered all of that already. But you do need to want that trajectory.
What Summer Consultants Can Do for You - At SCI, you will have the opportunity to:
Work on varied and technically challenging renovation projects across multiple facility and client types.
Expand your technical knowledge in lighting, power distribution, low-voltage systems, surveys, code analysis, calculations, equipment selection, specifications, and construction-phase support.
Learn from experienced engineers who understand both design quality and practical constructability.
Build project management skills through exposure to scope, schedule, budget, coordination, and deliverable accountability.
Develop as a well-rounded consulting engineer, not just a production designer.
Gain client-facing and field experience in facilities that are often interesting, complex, historic, occupied, or mission-critical.
Contribute to a small, professional, collaborative firm where your work is visible and your growth matters.
Requirements - What You Should Bring With You:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Architectural Engineering with an electrical or lighting focus, or a closely related discipline.
4 to 9 years of relevant electrical design experience, preferably in building systems consulting.
Experience with lighting and power design.
Experience producing construction documents and supporting construction administration.
Experience performing field surveys, preparing code analyses, calculations, equipment selections, and specifications.
Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Revit.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.
Experience with AGI32, SKM, and/or EasyPower is a plus.
EIT, PE license, or active pursuit of PE licensure preferred.
Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
Strong planning, organization, and follow-through.
Solid technical foundation and a willingness to keep learning.
Ability to work effectively in a cross-disciplinary team environment.
Interest in mentoring earlier-career staff and developing future project leadership skills.
Professional, approachable, team-first demeanor.
Ability to obtain site access at client locations.
Ability to travel up to 12 nights per year, in addition to day-long field surveys. xhqgsiq
Ability to conduct day-long field surveys outdoors and indoors in conditioned and unconditioned spaces, including walking 10,000–20,000 steps in a day, climbing up and down a 6-foot ladder, kneeling, squatting, and bending.
