Design Manager, Electrical

What to Expect

We are seeking an exceptional Electrical Design Manager to join our energy infrastructure engineering team. In this high-impact role, you will lead end-to-end design and engineering for critical construction and infrastructure projects supporting our manufacturing facilities—from initial concept through final build. While your primary expertise will be electrical systems, you will also bring the breadth to understand, coordinate, and support other engineering disciplines. You will own the full design process, drive cross-functional execution, and ensure seamless delivery of high-quality infrastructure that advances our mission. The ideal candidate will have a proven background in engineering (electrical focus preferred), construction, and project management. Highly organized, detail-oriented leader with a track record of successfully driving complex, multi-disciplinary projects. Outstanding ability to unite diverse teams, remove obstacles, and deliver results under demanding timelines. Self-motivated, disciplined, and thrives in a high-accountability, fast-paced culture.

What You’ll Do

• Own and drive the full design and engineering lifecycle for construction and infrastructure projects from concept through delivery to meet aggressive goals
• Organize and manage all design reviews, packages, and deliverables (including SOW, kick-off, MDR, 30/60/90%, IFP, and IFC) to support every stage of construction
• Define strategies for design, engineering, construction, and permit packages while managing permitting documents, transmittals, and RFIs
• Lead technical planning, scope development, change management, programming, and engineering services throughout the project
• Distill, document, and manage scope effectively; translate stakeholder requirements into clear project deliverables in a highly dynamic environment
• Coordinate project schedules with Construction and Procurement teams to ensure overall schedule success
• Own the project funding request process in collaboration with the construction team and manage customer requests
• Identify resource needs and gaps across project stages; implement innovative design methodologies and lean/BIM-integrated approaches to support fast-track schedules
• Build and maintain strong cross-functional relationships to drive program alignment and influence teams without direct authority
• Apply deep understanding of project delivery methods (design-bid-build, IPD, fast-track) and solve complex infrastructure challenges through objective thinking and strong interpersonal skills

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering field or, equivalent experience
• 5+ years of professional experience, including managing multi-disciplinary teams within A/E firms and complex MEP projects
• Strong understanding of all engineering disciplines with proven ability to manage engineering resources effectively
• Demonstrated track record delivering IFB, IFP, and IFC packages
• Experience designing Manufacturing facilities, industrial facilities, chemical/process systems, and site infrastructure developments
• Proven experience working with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) and building strong relationships with local jurisdictions
