POSITION SUMMARY

This position reports to the Office Manager, while oftentimes working with a Project Manager on a specific project. A Professional Engineering license is mandatory for this position. This position will involve the mentoring, guidance, and oversite of all Electrical Design Staff within a particular Office / Division. In addition to the staff, this position will also provide oversite and design of all aspects of the Building Power, Lighting, Data/Telecommunications, Fire Alarm, and other Special Systems for the project. The Department Head will function much like our Project Engineer to work with other design staff to complete all electrical related tasks necessary to the success of the project.

At WPE our Department Heads will also oversee the scheduling and project assignment of the Design and Project Design level staff, as well as cross training all our other staff to provide for a more knowledgeable project team. Tasks range from initial analysis to schematic design and throughout the construction process. Work will be in a self-paced environment providing guidance to other staff within WPE. Must be open and willing to learn from those staff members as freely as you teach them. Tasks requiring your effort or oversite might include running lighting calculations, laying out and sizing switchgear and circuiting, layout of other electrical systems, writing project specifications, studies/analysis. Additionally, you will be serving as the WPE contact with the clients and other stake holders on multiple projects at one time.

You will work with teams both internal and external to the firm to develop projects through all phases of design and construction. The types of projects will vary in both size and complexity based on our client needs and your capabilities. At WPE, our Department Heads may be the Engineer of Record for our projects and responsible charge of all work within their discipline on a project. As such, our Department Heads provide a great deal of oversite and mentoring of staff of all levels. This requires a highly organized, focused and motivated individual.

WPE will provide you with the mentoring, training and tools to aid your continued growth in the Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing (MEP) design services industry. Within this position, the expectation is that you will learn or teach something every day you come to work. You will share your knowledge of the assembly of construction documents, bidding/procurement process and the construction administration phase of the project with the other staff.
