Director of Electrical Engineering | Multi-Disciplinary Design Firm

Bespoke Careers • Full-time • Washington DC, District of Columbia, United States of America • 2w ago

This isn't just a senior engineering role — it's a chance to shape an entire discipline at a firm that's been on an uninterrupted growth trajectory for over three decades. With offices across seven major US cities and a reputation for award-winning work across commercial, healthcare, education, and government sectors, this practice offers the kind of platform where a Director of Electrical Engineering can genuinely leave their mark. If you're a PE-licensed engineer with the technical depth to serve as Engineer of Record and the leadership instincts to build and grow a team, this is the role you've been waiting for.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and grow the electrical engineering department — staffing, structure, succession planning, and setting the standards everyone else works to.
Serve as Engineer of Record on complex electrical projects across commercial, institutional, healthcare, higher education, and government facilities.
Design and document power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, low-voltage, emergency power, and critical systems from concept through construction.
Partner with executive leadership on strategic goals for the discipline and represent the practice in client meetings and industry events.
Coordinate across architecture and MEP teams throughout design development, resolving complex technical challenges as they arise.
Oversee project delivery across multiple market sectors, ensuring electrical scopes land on time and within budget.
Support business development — proposals, pursuits, and identifying new market opportunities and service offerings.

Skills & Experience

10+ years of progressive electrical engineering experience, including leadership roles.
Active PE license in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC.
Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA, IECC, ASHRAE, and local jurisdictional codes.
Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and electrical calculation tools; experience coordinating within BIM and multidisciplinary design teams.
Proven ability to lead teams, manage competing priorities, and influence at the executive level.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.

Culture & Benefits

100% employee-owned firm — you're not just working here, you have a stake in the place.
Salary range $150,000–$175,000, with a generous 401(k)/Roth contribution and flexible spending benefits.
Fully paid medical and long-term disability coverage, plus dental, vision, and supplemental insurance plans.
Professional development reimbursement including fees, study time, lunch and learns, CEUs, and leadership training.
Hybrid working from the Washington DC office, with a genuine commitment to work-life balance baked into the culture.
A diverse, inclusive team with survey results to prove it — 99% of staff agree it's an inclusive workplace.
