Engineering Project Team Leader

Location: Texas
Salary: Up to $147,000 + Bonus
Employment: Permanent, Full-Time

About the Opportunity

We're partnering with an established electrical engineering and construction contractor seeking an experienced Engineering Project Team Leader to oversee electrical engineering projects and lead a team of engineers.

This is an excellent opportunity for a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with a strong background in building electrical power distribution systems, who enjoys combining technical design, project management and team leadership.

You'll play a key role in delivering complex electrical engineering projects across commercial, industrial and mission-critical environments, including data centres.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading electrical engineering teams through design and project delivery.

• Overseeing the design of building electrical power distribution systems.

• Managing engineering project schedules, budgets, resources and deliverables.

• Supporting early-stage project planning, scope development, fee estimates and staffing requirements.

• Reviewing electrical designs, calculations, drawings and technical documentation.

• Coordinating with project managers, construction teams, clients and other engineering disciplines.

• Providing technical guidance and mentoring junior and mid-level engineers.

• Ensuring designs comply with applicable electrical codes, standards and project specifications.

• Supporting design-build and design-assist construction projects.

• Identifying technical challenges and implementing practical engineering solutions.

• Maintaining quality standards and ensuring engineering milestones are achieved.

What We're Looking For

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) licence - required.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.

• Ideally 8+ years of electrical engineering experience, although exceptional candidates with 5+ years may be considered.

• Strong experience designing building electrical power distribution systems.

• Proven ability to lead engineering teams and manage multiple project deliverables.

• Experience with electrical design packages, construction drawings, specifications and calculations.

• Strong understanding of NEC and relevant electrical codes and standards.

• Experience with commercial, industrial, data centre or other mission-critical construction projects.

• Excellent communication, leadership and problem-solving skills.

• Experience with design-build or design-assist projects is advantageous.

We're particularly interested in engineers who have progressed from hands-on electrical design into technical leadership and project delivery.

Candidates whose experience is primarily in electronics, research or utility transmission planning without building electrical distribution design experience are unlikely to be suitable.

What's on Offer?

• Base salary up to approximately $147,000, depending on experience.

• 5% annual bonus opportunity.

• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

• Comprehensive employee benefits package.

• Permanent, full-time employment.

• Opportunity to lead engineering teams on complex, high-value projects.

• Exposure to major commercial, industrial and mission-critical construction projects.

• Long-term career progression within an established and growing organisation.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join a well-established electrical engineering and construction business delivering technically challenging projects across the United States.

You'll have the chance to influence engineering design, mentor talented engineers and take ownership of project delivery while remaining closely involved in the technical side of electrical engineering.

For an experienced Electrical Engineer looking to move into a leadership position, or an existing Engineering Team Leader seeking a new challenge, this role offers a strong combination of technical responsibility, people leadership and long-term career development.
