Job Description

About the Opportunity

We are partnering exclusively with a well-established MEP consulting engineering firm in Costa Mesa, CA on a pivotal leadership hire. The firm has a strong and growing portfolio across K-12 education, healthcare, and civic facilities — and is seeking a senior electrical engineering leader ready to step into a defining role at exactly the right time. This is not a typical department head position. It comes with a clear path to Principal, meaningful equity opportunity, and genuine strategic influence — with the autonomy that larger firms rarely offer.

Responsibilities:

Technical Delivery

  • Oversee electrical system design: power distribution, lighting, low-voltage systems, and fire alarm
  • Lead complex healthcare and education projects — renovations, campus expansions, and ground-up construction
  • Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA, Title 24, and healthcare-specific standards
  • Set and maintain high technical and documentation standards across all projects

Senior Client Advisory

  • Serve as the primary technical contact for key healthcare and education clients
  • Lead design meetings, provide construction-phase support, and drive high-level project discussions
  • Build long-term relationships through responsiveness, clarity, and trusted expertise

Team Leadership

  • Direct and mentor a focused team of engineers and designers (2–3 direct reports)
  • Establish accountability, technical rigor, and a collaborative culture
  • Build scalable processes that support consistent, high-quality delivery

Firm Strategy

  • Partner with leadership on strategy, pursuits, and operational improvements
  • Contribute to expanding the firm's healthcare and education presence
  • Help elevate how the department operates as the firm grows

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (Master's preferred)
  • PE license strongly preferred
  • 10+ years of progressive electrical engineering experience
  • Strong background in healthcare and/or K-12 education projects
  • Demonstrated experience leading projects and mentoring engineers
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and industry-standard electrical design tools
  • Confident communicator — able to lead both internally and externally
