Electrical Designer

Garver’s growing Electrical team is seeking an Electrical Designer in our Frisco, Texas office that will be responsible for working with our staff on a wide array of facility, building, and airport-related design, construction, project administration, and client management services for a variety of clients.

It is the intent for this individual to be cross-trained between facility and aviation related design and construction tasks.
