Description
About Fehr Graham
Fehr Graham Engineering & Environmental is a fast-growing Midwest firm built on collaboration, technical excellence, and a people-first culture. Our teams work on meaningful projects that strengthen the communities we serve, and we’re looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to play a key technical leadership role within our MEP practice.
What’s in it for you?
As a Lead Electrical Engineer, you’ll serve as a technical authority on electrical and MEP design projects while partnering closely with project managers, clients, and multidisciplinary teams. This role provides leadership through expertise and influence—not direct supervision—making it ideal for an engineer who enjoys owning complex work, mentoring informally, and shaping project outcomes. You will enjoy the opportunity to work alongside electrical engineers from partner firms for mentorship and support.
Where you’ll work
The position is based in either our Aurora or Rockford, Illinois offices. At Fehr Graham, we believe in work-life balance, and that includes injecting a healthy dose of fun into everything we do. It’s even part of our Core Values! We celebrate milestones and enjoy friendly team-building activities and office outings after work. A happy and engaged work team is a successful one. Each of our offices brings an environment filled with positive energy and enthusiasm. We encourage our teams to connect on multiple levels and support each other’s personal and professional growth.

- Stay current on electrical codes, MEP trends, and emerging technologies and apply best practices to projects
- Contribute to continuous improvement of design standards, tools, and processes across the firm
