• Assists with preparation and coordination of project documents and maintains awareness of project scope, schedules, budgets, and deliverables.
• Coordinates electrical design elements with other engineering disciplines and internal project teams to support integrated project outcomes.
• Communicates project development and progress with project managers and may participate in coordination efforts with federal clients, contractors, and consultants.
• Performs process design calculations, analyzes engineering data, and supports feasibility evaluations for proposed electrical systems.
• Enters, maintains, and updates project information and documentation within Olsson’s project management systems in accordance with the firm’s Quality Management Program.
• Diagnoses and assists in resolving technical design issues and supports quality assurance and quality control processes throughout project execution.
• May provide technical guidance and oversight to less experienced engineers or technical staff as assigned.
• Travel and participation in project charrettes, design reviews, and value engineering conferences.
• May travel to project sites and work in varying terrain and weather conditions during different stages of construction.

Electrical Engineer – Federal Engineering & Design

• Performs detailed electrical engineering tasks including power distribution, lighting, grounding, and electrical system design for federal engineering and design projects.
• Prepares electrical calculations, drawings, specifications, technical reports, project cost estimates, and bid-related documentation in compliance with applicable federal standards, codes, and agency-specific requirements.
• Independently execute moderately complex electrical design assignments, applying sound engineering judgment, problem-solving skills, and risk awareness throughout project execution.
• Serves as a technical liaison between federal clients, contractors, vendors, and internal engineering teams to coordinate deliverables, resolve technical issues, and support project schedules.
• Coordinates electrical design efforts with multidisciplinary teams and Olsson project teams to ensure integrated, constructible, and high-quality project outcomes.
• Works closely with project managers to support project planning, cost control, procurement coordination, progress tracking, and communication of potential technical or schedule-related challenges.
• Participates in site visits and inspections, provides technical support during installation, and supports testing and commissioning activities to verify electrical systems perform as intended.
• Reviews, coordinates, and may provide oversight or mentorship to less experienced engineers and technical staff.
• Supports quality assurance and quality control processes by performing design reviews, field observations, and documentation of design changes, testing results, and key project milestones.
• Prepares clear and concise project reports and technical summaries for clients, stakeholders, and internal leadership as required.
• Travel and participation in project charrettes, design reviews, and value engineering conferences.
• Ensures all electrical designs and installations align with the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA standards, applicable federal agency requirements, and environmental regulations.
