Electrical Engineer Palmetto Engineering & Consulting
Piedmont, SC
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 you're 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 We're 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.
You'll work on a variety of industrial projects, taking ownership of design, client interaction, and project execution from start to finish.
What You'll 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.
- Coordinate daily with our well-established professional design partners to provide successful projects.
- Design electrical systems, including power distribution, motor controls, and industrial facility systems
- Develop drawings, specifications, and calculations (one-lines, load studies, etc.)
- 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 We're Looking For - Bachelor's 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 company's long-term success
- Real Impact: Direct involvement in projects from concept through construction
- Small Team Environment: No silos-your 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
Join Us If you're ready to move away from corporate red tape and into a role where you can own your work, grow your career, and make a real impact, we'd like to hear from you.
PEC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
