The Electrical Engineer contributes to meaningful, high-profile projects while growing technical expertise, influencing outcomes, and building lasting relationships with clients and partners.

At Baker Group, you won't just design systems-you'll help shape the built environment while living out our Core Values: Care About People, Love What We Do, Mentally Tough, and Own It.
