What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Engineering Design Manager position at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory?
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) Facilities Division is seeking a dynamic and experienced Electrical Design Manager to lead critical infrastructure projects that are integral to advancing world-class science at Berkeley Lab.
In this exciting role, you will oversee the technical execution of capital projects, ensuring safe, sustainable, and reliable infrastructure for the Lab’s research programs. Acting as a “technical project manager”, you will collaborate with the Project Delivery team to ensure high-quality deliverables, risk management, and efficient decision-making, while keeping projects on schedule, on budget, and within scope.
You will coordinate internal experts and external Architects / Engineers (A / E) partners on electrical-intensive projects, including system modernization, HVAC electrification, and new construction. Your role includes managing design scope, timelines, budgets, and ensuring all deliverables meet the Lab's standards and strategic goals. This position offers opportunities for professional growth and the chance to contribute to impactful infrastructure projects that support groundbreaking science.
This hybrid position requires a minimum of two days on-site, with flexibility of up to five days based on project and collaboration need (could be subject to change).

- Facilitate design meetings to clearly articulate project objectives and foster shared understanding among team members.
- Ensure alignment among stakeholders and leadership, track and manage design schedules, monitor processes for efficiency, and lead process improvement initiatives.
- Organize and lead comprehensive design reviews, actively addressing technical challenges and allocating resources to ensure successful project outcomes.
- Foster a culture of innovation within teams, promoting creative problem-solving and the development of novel design solutions that embody LBNL's dedication to collaboration and teamwork.
- Resolve technical issues, manage design-related risks, and identify opportunities for process improvements to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
- Conduct financial reviews, provide strategic insights, and promote responsible fiscal management as part of project oversight.
- Foster transparent communication, celebrate successes, and maintain an innovative culture.
- Monitor industry trends to support continuous improvement and LBNL’s goals, while facilitating design reviews and promoting creative problem-solving within teams.
