Job Description

Job Description

Let’s Build the Future of Industry — Together!

At ZAP Engineering & Construction Services , we don’t just design solutions—we engineer impact. Our team’s purpose is to ensure the successful execution of our clients' projects from start to finish, with constructable and cost-effective designs. From the oil fields of Texas to the mining operations of Canada and the manufacturing corridors of Mexico, our work keeps the industry moving. Headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, ZAP provides comprehensive engineering, design, and construction management services across North America. Fast-paced, highly collaborative, and unapologetically ambitious—we’re not your typical engineering firm. Now, we’re seeking an Electrical Engineering Director —a technical expert, mentor, and operations leader who’s ready to shape the future of our electrical team.

About the Role :

You’ll lead our electrical engineering discipline, focusing on quality, team development, resource management, and client success. As Engineer of Record (EOR), you’ll take responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of our deliverables while also guiding the growth and performance of the team. From arc-flash studies to full-facility designs, you’ll be involved at every level—from the first conversation with a client to the final deliverable on-site.

Key Areas of Impact :

• Be the Benchmark :   Set the standard for electrical engineering excellence—every detail, every time.  As Engineer of Record, you’ll lead QA / QC for electrical deliverables and ensure that every calculation, schematic, and system study reflects the highest level of precision, safety, and code compliance. You’re the technical authority your team and clients rely on.
• Lead with Purpose :   Develop people, shape process, and strengthen team performance.  You’ll provide mentoring, run technical training sessions, and establish best-in-class standards and workflows. Whether it’s a one-on-one check-in or a full-team workshop, your leadership style fosters growth, confidence, and accountability.
• Department Builder :   Manage the pulse of the department—from daily workload to long-term growth.  You’ll balance staffing with project needs, lead weekly resourcing meetings, and recruit top talent as you shape the team’s future. Your planning and foresight keep projects on track and the department evolving with intention.
• Execution Driver :   Own the flow of work from concept through delivery—on time and on budget.  Whether you’re leading an arc-flash study, supporting a multi-discipline facility design, or managing project scope and schedules, you’ll ensure all moving parts are synchronized and the team is firing on all cylinders.
• Client Partner :   Be the technical face of ZAP for our clients—and the strategic voice inside the room.  You’ll sponsor projects, manage client relationships, and support business development by scoping opportunities and aligning deliverables with client expectations. Your mix of technical depth and relationship savvy builds long-term trust and results.
