About Us

Palmetto Engineering & Consulting (PEC) is a 160-person, employee-owned (ESOP) engineering consulting firm delivering practical solutions in electrical, telecommunications, and infrastructure design. If youre coming from a large corporate environment and want less bureaucracy, more ownership, and real impact, this is an opportunity to join a smaller, collaborative team where your work truly matters.

The Role

Were seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our three-person electrical team. This role is driven by the upcoming retirement of a senior engineer, creating a unique opportunity to step into a high-visibility, high-impact position.

Youll work on a variety of industrial projects, taking ownership of design, client interaction, and project execution from start to finish.

What Youll Do

• Lead our excellent electrical design team by supporting our clients and customers with project concept, scope development, proposal preparation, and coordinating the development of construction documents.

• Conduct site visits and field investigations
• Collaborate with internal teams and work directly with clients
• Support construction through site visits, RFIs, submittals, and troubleshooting

What Were Looking For

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering
• 10+ years of experience, primarily in industrial electrical design
• Strong knowledge of NEC and applicable codes
• Experience with AutoCAD, Revit, or similar tools
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects
• Must hold a Professional Engineer (PE) license or be able to obtain licensure.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Employee Ownership (ESOP): Share in the companys long-term success
• Real Impact: Direct involvement in projects from concept through construction
• Small Team Environment: No silosyour voice and expertise matter
• Career Growth: Opportunity to lead the electrical engineering team in the near term, with a clear path to full leadership as part of a planned succession.
• Established design partners and long-term relationships with industrial clients.

Benefits

• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Disability and Life Insurance
• 401(k) Retirement Plan
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• Paid Time Off & Holidays
• Professional Development Support
