Electrical Engineering Leader, MEP

Phoenix, AZ | Compensation commensurate with experience, performance bonus, and profit-sharing | Full-Time

A MEP consulting engineering firm with offices in Phoenix, Mesa, and Scottsdale, Arizona seeks an experienced electrical engineering leader to lead and grow its MEP practice in the Phoenix market. This is a seller-doer leadership role that combines technical project delivery with business development, client relationship management, and team development responsibilities. A Professional Engineer license and a background in consulting engineering are strongly preferred.

Full-time, based primarily out of the Phoenix, Arizona office with flexibility across the Mesa and Scottsdale locations. Limited hybrid scheduling may be available depending on project requirements.

What You'll Do

You will lead electrical and MEP engineering project delivery across commercial, institutional, and mixed-use developments throughout the Phoenix region. Your responsibilities span the full project lifecycle, from pursuit and proposal development through design, construction administration, and closeout. You will manage project scope, schedules, budgets, and profitability across your active portfolio, and will coordinate multidisciplinary work with architects, mechanical engineers, and plumbing teams throughout the design and delivery process.

Business development is a core part of this role, not a secondary function.

You will work to expand the firm's market presence in the Phoenix area and contribute to broader regional growth initiatives.

Leading and developing the engineering team is equally central to the position.
