Electrical Engineer Jobs

An Electrical Engineer in the construction industry designs, develops, tests, and supervises the installation of electrical equipment, components, or systems for commercial, industrial, military, or scientific use. They prepare technical drawings, specifications of electrical systems, or topographical maps to ensure that installation and operations conform to standards and customer requirements.
