About this role
At Cannondesign's Arlington office, you'd join a multidisciplinary team designing electrical systems for healthcare, educational, corporate, and science facilities across new construction and renovation projects. Working remotely as a Project Electrical Engineer IV, you'd take on substantial responsibility—designing lighting, power distribution, signaling, and communications systems; leading or managing projects; mentoring junior engineers; and serving as a point of contact in client meetings and on job sites. The role requires you to move fluidly between design work (preparing drawings and specifications in tools like Revit and SKM Power Tools), quality assurance, value engineering sessions, and field coordination.
This position demands eight years of electrical engineering experience, a current PE license, and the ability to work independently across all electrical disciplines with minimal guidance. You'll need strong analytical skills, comfort with ambiguity, and the capacity to juggle multiple projects while maintaining high standards. LEED accreditation is preferred. The salary range is $122,010 to $152,460, with discretionary bonuses possible, plus a standard benefits package including medical, dental, vision, paid time off, flexible scheduling, and a 401k.
This role suits an experienced engineer ready to take on leadership responsibilities and client-facing work, with the technical depth to design complex systems and the communication skills to guide less experienced colleagues and engage effectively with clients.
