Job Description

Corbin believes that professional growth is best achieved through a broad range of experience; our engineers wear many hats and are expected to be knowledgeable across all aspects of electrical design.  We do not compartmentalize our engineering specialties – you will be exposed to a wide range of design responsibilities.  You will report directly to the senior project engineer or project manager who will oversee your work and mentor you to success.  Your day-to-day responsibilities may include:

•    Designing electrical, mechanical, or structural systems and preparing construction documents with varying degrees of complexity.  
•    Preparing engineering studies that survey existing conditions, evaluate capacities, and make recommendations for corrections and upgrades.
•    Technical writing for engineering documents.
•    Conducting site investigations to confirm and document field conditions.

At Corbin, we serve our clients from the outset of design through to construction completion and project turnover.  The construction documents we prepare are not just a paper exercise – you will regularly interact with clients and construction contractors as your design is constructed and commissioned
