Bring Your Expertise to Power the Future of Aviation Infrastructure
We're looking for a professional electrical engineer to work alongside a team of aviation enthusiasts. Whether you have had the opportunity to work on airport and airfield electrical infrastructure projects or not, our answer is the same - great! Many of the skills that make electrical engineers successful in designing airfield lighting, power, and communications systems are transferrable from various projects across the commercial, industrial, institutional, utility, and transportation sectors. In fact, most of our team members started their careers in areas outside the aviation sector before they discovered the fascinating world of airport and airfield infrastructure design. Our team includes experienced engineers, planners, and technical specialists who are passionate about sharing their expertise, mentoring teammates, and helping others grow. That said, we want to know more about your curiosity and eagerness to learn, your ability to collaborate across disciplines and geographies, and your passion to design solutions for whatever engineering challenge you are presented with. We'll take it from there and provide the support, technical guidance, and hands-on project experience needed to build a rewarding career in this unique field within our industry. No matter where you're coming from, we can teach you all there is to know about airfield electrical design, including airfield lighting, NAVAIDs, airport power systems, communications networks, and airfield controls. In other words, we can teach airport electrical infrastructure design all day, every day. We can't teach curiosity. So, show us what you've got, and we'll show you what else you can do!
