CBIZ Talent Solutions is assisting our client in their search for an Electrical Engineering Manager in the Kansas City metro area.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing technical leadership, mentoring, and project delivery in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

About our client:

Our Client is a woman- and minority-owned engineering consulting firm founded in 1998 that brings deep technical expertise and innovative design solutions to projects of all sizes. With a focus on building systems engineering and design, they deliver comprehensive services in electrical, mechanical, fire protection, plumbing, and refrigeration systems across the nation. The firm’s work spans commercial, industrial, retail, government, and health-and-wellness segments, reflecting a broad capability to meet diverse client needs.

With our client, solving complex design challenges goes beyond meeting functional requirements, it means delivering thoughtful, efficient, and resilient solutions that enhance performance and protect occupants. The firm serves nationally recognized clients such as Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Target, among others. Supporting high-volume, multi-site retail programs requires consistency, responsiveness, and the ability to execute at scale — capabilities that have become defining hallmarks of their reputation.

What You’ll Do

The Electrical Engineering Manager plays a critical leadership role within the firm, serving as the bridge between the Chief Engineer’s technical direction and day-to-day team execution. This individual oversees design quality, mentors engineers and designers, and ensures projects are delivered with precision, consistency, and adherence to established standards. The role requires both technical depth and operational discipline, balancing multiple concurrent projects while remaining responsive to clients and internal stakeholders.

Beyond technical oversight, the Electrical Engineering Manager drives accountability, supports resource planning, and maintains momentum across high-volume, multi-site programs. Success in this position calls for a hands-on leader who can step into complex design challenges when necessary and complete plans and specifications while elevating team performance and safeguarding quality. Project work involves assessing and documenting existing site conditions, performing detailed engineering calculations, producing construction drawings and specifications, addressing code compliance requirements, and resolving site-specific design challenges.

This opportunity is ideal for professionals who balance speed with precision and approach challenges with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset. Candidates who are energized by mentoring others, upholding high standards, and contributing to the firm’s continued growth will find the role both impactful and rewarding.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering or electrical discipline; Professional Engineer (PE) license is strongly preferred (or ability to obtain)
• 8–12+ years of progressive experience in building systems design (MEP), with strong knowledge of lighting and power of electrical systems
• Demonstrated experience supporting multi-site or high-volume commercial and retail programs
• Proven ability to oversee design calculations, construction documents, specifications, and code compliance requirements
• High proficiency in Revit, BIM, and AutoCAD; ability to design/draft, review and seal drawings if licensed
• Strong understanding of design quality, coordination, constructability, and design-build delivery models
• Experience leading engineers and designers, with a demonstrated ability to mentor junior staff and elevate technical standards
• Ability to design and manage multiple concurrent projects, delegate effectively, and balance workload and resource allocation
• Comfortable interacting with architects, contractors, and end clients, with the ability to represent the firm in client meetings

What Sets You Apart

• Translate technical direction into clear team execution while upholding the firm’s quality standards as well the ability to complete the electrical plans of projects assigned to the team.
• Balance speed with precision, remaining hands-on when needed to support design, problem-solving, and project delivery.
• Operate effectively in a collaborative, high-accountability environment.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with internal teams, clients, architects, and contractors.
