Job Description
Are you passionate about leading MEP/energy-driven projects?
Do you love helping clients design spaces that will transform the end user’s experience?
If you’re an electrical engineer with a desire to provide technical leadership on MEP/energy-driven project design teams, this could be a great fit!
CDM Smith is one of the world’s top design, program management, and construction management firms, providing innovative and creative solutions for our clients and assisting them in achieving successful outcomes on their water, infrastructure, environmental, and transportation programs.
We are looking for a senior-level electrical engineer who has extensive experience in leading multi-discipline, electrical-driven projects to fill the role of Project Technical Leader (PTL) to advance our growth in the MEP/energy market. The PTL’s role is to develop and drive the technical vision of the project, working closely with the Project Manager (PM) and reporting directly to the PM. The PTL is responsible for the coordination of the technical content of projects, with a focus on preemptive, preventive, and proactive approaches to delivery that mitigate rework and/or errors.
As a PTL-focused senior electrical engineer, you will provide senior-level expertise for current and future MEP/energy projects and be a contributor to CDM Smith’s transformational growth in the electrification market. As the PTL on projects you will be responsible for the following six key aspects of project delivery:
• Drive the project's technical vision.
• Drive the cascading flow of information and decisions required to execute the project scope across a team with diverse skill sets.
• Ensure that the right technical skill sets are on the project at the correct time.
• Drive the technical accuracy of all work products.
• Devise a corrective action plan in conjunction with the PM if/when challenges present themselves.
• Mentor and develop technical project staff.
• Be most successful in a flexible and remote work environment.
We are open to hybrid schedules for this position. This position can also be based out of our Boston, Orlando, Dallas, or Fairfax CDM Smith office.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or Electrical Technology or related discipline. Professional engineering (PE) license. 10 years of related experience. Domestic and/or international travel may be required. The frequency of travel is contingent on specific duties, responsibilities, and the essential functions of the position, which may vary depending on workload and project demands. Equivalent additional directly related experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
EEO Statement
We attract the best people in the industry, supporting their efforts to learn and grow. We strive to create a challenging and progressive work environment. We provide career opportunities that span a variety of disciplines and geographic locations, with projects that our employees plan, design, build and operate as diverse as the needs of our clients.
