Senior Electrical Engineer
About Echo Power
Echo Power is an independent engineering and project management firm specializing in the design, construction, and maintenance of critical electrical and mechanical systems across the healthcare, utility, and industrial sectors.
We are a primarily remote company guided by our core values of integrity, commitment to team, customer-focus, technical excellence, and optimism. At Echo, we foster a strong family-friendly culture focused on serving our customers with excellence while creating opportunities for our people.
Work Environment
This is a hybrid role with a mix of remote work and field involvement. Candidates should reside within one hour of a commercial airport to support travel requirements (up to 25%).
What You'll Get to Do
As a Senior Electrical Engineer at Echo Power, you are the technical authority on your projects. This role is built for a self-starter who wants to own their work from start to finish: you take a project from concept through construction documents, make the engineering decisions, and stand behind the result. If you want to be in control of your work rather than a small piece of someone else's, this is that seat.
You will lead the design, assessment, and analysis of electrical power systems ranging from 480V through 15kV for facilities where power cannot fail, including hospitals, utilities, and industrial and mission-critical infrastructure across the United States.
You will design projects and direct teams of engineers, designers, and drafters in executing the work, instructing, reviewing, and holding drawing sets to the Echo standard, while remaining hands-on and producing design work alongside your team when projects demand it. You will lead multiple projects concurrently, partnering with Engineering Project Managers who own scheduling, budgets, and project coordination so that you can focus on what you do best: engineering.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the electrical design of assigned projects from concept through construction documents, serving as the senior technical authority.
- Direct and instruct engineers, designers, and drafters in executing design work; review drawing sets, calculations, and engineering packages to Echo's standards.
- Produce design deliverables directly alongside the team as project needs require.
- Serve as the technical expert on power system studies, reviewing and validating SKM models, methods, and results (arc flash, short-circuit, coordination) produced by the engineering team.
- Interpret and apply NEC, NFPA, and applicable industry standards, making the engineering judgment calls where standards conflict or are silent.
