Design Specialist - Electrical

About the Role

The specialist conducts electrical analysis, provides technical input, and performs reviews to mitigate design risk. Responsibilities include identifying construction challenges, generating optimization opportunities, and ensuring compliance with project specifications and codes. Key duties involve reviewing electrical designs for constructability, performing quantity takeoffs, and recommending construction sequencing and logistics. The role evaluates energy models, assesses drawings, specifications and shop drawings for code compliance, and proposes solutions to improve design and constructability. The specialist also guides resolution of non‑conformances, collaborates with internal and external teams, and coordinates with other disciplines such as structural, architectural, and fire protection. • Review electrical designs for constructability and code compliance. • Perform quantity takeoffs and advise on construction sequencing. • Evaluate energy models and project documentation. • Propose design optimizations and constructability improvements. • Provide guidance on non‑conformances and operational issues. • Build effective relationships with project teams, subcontractors, and clients. • Coordinate with multidisciplinary design teams (structural, architectural, MEP, etc.). • Meet physical demands of on‑site construction work, including climbing and lifting.

What You Bring

Candidates must hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, a Professional Engineer (Electrical) license, and at least four years of industry experience. Experience should span the full design and construction lifecycle of electrical and low‑voltage systems, include peer‑review or due‑diligence work, and demonstrate strong written and verbal communication. Proficiency with design, collaboration, and BIM software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam) is required, as is willingness to travel up to 25%. The role requires the ability to navigate construction sites, including climbing stairs and ladders, and performing physical tasks such as lifting and handling tools. Employees work in environments with noise, weather exposure, and potential electrical hazards. The annual salary range for New York City candidates is $122,000‑$190,000, and Turner is an equal‑opportunity employer. • Hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a Professional Engineer license. • Possess at least four years of experience with electrical and low‑voltage systems across design and construction phases. • Demonstrate proficiency in BIM and design software (AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam, etc.). • Travel up to 25% nationally for project sites.
