Book a call with our team
Engineers are easy to find. The hard part is finding onewho works to your standards.
When you hire electrical engineers on a project by project basis or outsource production, your drawings usually come back on time. But they come back in different templates, built to different standards, and not yours. Which means every set of drawings has to be reviewed and corrected before it can go anywhere. And protection decisions wait, load calculations wait, and construction documents stall.
That’s why your next hire can’t be another engineer producing work you have to redo. They’ve got to be all in. A senior engineer dedicated to your work, carrying the full electrical design scope end to end. Someone who learns your templates, your coordination sequences, and your approving authority’s preferences. And who stays long enough for it to become second nature.
A GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer does exactly that. They work as a permanent part of your team, from the Philippines: in your templates, under your engineer of record, on your projects alone. So your standards carry through every set of drawings, and your team gets a teammate they can count on.
What our Senior Electrical Engineers
are accountable for
Most offshore hires are measured by hours. At GoTeam, our Senior Electrical Engineers are measured by outcomes, set as clear objectives and tracked as results. Here are the three they own.
Objective 1
Delivering complete, code-compliant electrical design sets on schedule
- Designing power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, and low-voltage systems your engineer of record can approve without correction
- Producing single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and specifications clear enough to build from, with each device and conductor sized
- Hitting every design milestone across SD, DD, and CD phases, and flagging scope changes before they set your timeline back
Objective 2
Holding every load calculation, equipment size, and code check to standard
- Running load calculations for main distribution, feeders, and branch circuits to size every switchgear and conductor in the design
- Checking every design decision against NEC or AS/NZS 3000 before the drawings go out, so code issues are caught before AHJ review
- Tracking breaker ratings, voltage drop limits, and fault current values across phases, and reconciling them at every revision
Objective 3
Resolving design clashes across disciplines before they reach the field
- Coordinating electrical routing with mechanical and plumbing systems at each milestone so no overlap carries into construction
- Issuing RFIs for drawing conflicts, missing structural detail, and coordination gaps before the next design revision goes out
- Reviewing every addendum, bulletin, and revision from other disciplines against the electrical set so nothing ships uncoordinated
Powered by OKRx, our AI-powered execution system. OKRx sets your engineer’s 90-day targets and tracks them daily on a live scoreboard, so the outcomes that matter to you are the ones they’re working toward.
How our Senior Electrical Engineers take the rework out of your design
Every GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer works with a library of Claude Skills built for electrical engineering, and our suite of AI tools. With these, reviewing specifications, checking code compliance, and documenting calculations require a fraction of the time, so your engineer can focus on the decisions and the trade-offs that actually move a project forward.
Here's each Claude Skill at work:
Specification review
Electrical specifications cite hundreds of NEC articles, NFPA standards, and product references that keep getting revised. Meaning any that aren’t caught can become permit delays or change orders. So your Senior Electrical Engineer reviews each spec with Claude, catching outdated citations and spec-to-drawing conflicts before they reach AHJ review.
Code compliance checking
Every design decision from wire sizing to overcurrent protection to panel ratings has to satisfy the NEC and whatever local amendments the AHJ enforces. Because if one doesn’t, your drawings can come back for correction. So your Senior Electrical Engineer checks each decision with Claude to confirm it complies with the governing code.
Calculation reporting
A single project can require hundreds of load, voltage drop, and fault current calculations. Each with its own values, code references, and assumptions your engineer of record must verify. So your Senior Electrical Engineer documents every calculation with Claude, making sure there’s a clear trail behind every number.
Drawing set QA
Your drawings tie dozens of sheets together: from schedules that have to match diagrams to plans that have to match details. And when one sheet gets revised, the rest don’t always follow. So your Senior Electrical Engineer cross-checks each sheet with Claude to flag inconsistencies and ensure the tags, circuit numbers, and callouts still agree.
Clash prevention
Electrical routing runs alongside HVAC ducts and plumbing lines through every ceiling, riser, and mechanical room. Which means when a duct drops six inches in a revision, a conduit path can go right through it. So your Senior Electrical Engineer compares every discipline’s layout with Claude to spot the overlaps and flag what needs rerouting.
RFI drafting
Structural changes, mechanical conflicts, and missing dimensions all need a formal response before a design can move forward. And a vague RFI can slow that process down. So your Senior Electrical Engineer drafts each RFI with Claude, citing the exact location, reference, and standard to make sure what comes back doesn’t need a follow-up.
What this means for your project delivery,
and your bottom line
With AI handling the repetitive work, your GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer doesn’t just do the same job faster. They produce more accurate design sets with fewer errors reaching the field, and cost a fraction of what you’d pay for the same role locally.

Ready to hire your Senior Electrical Engineer?
Speak with our team→Your tools, your standards,
your way of working
Your GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer isn’t someone you have to build your process around. They work in the software you already use, and to the codes and standards your electrical projects demand. From day one, they fit how your business runs.
Your tools
The software your team works in, whether that’s Revit, AutoCAD MEP, Dialux, Bluebeam Revu, or Excel, is software your Senior Electrical Engineer already knows. And they’re just as comfortable in ETAP and SKM. Which means they’re able to pick up your drawing standards, templates, and design libraries fast. Your team doesn’t have to adopt new software, and your workflows don’t have to change.
AS/NZS 3000
Your standards
Every GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer is screened against US codes and standards, including NEC, NFPA, IEEE, OSHA, and local AHJ requirements, and is equally fluent in Australian and New Zealand standards, including AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules), if you work across those markets. So every design set is built to the codes your project calls for, not a one-size-fits-all template.
You lead them.
We handle the rest.
Your GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer is a dedicated member of your team. You set their priorities, include them in your meetings, and direct their work like any other member of your staff. Everything else is handled by us. So you get a real teammate, without the cost and overhead of a local hire.
Setup
Because we handle the recruiting, vetting, equipment, and IT before they start, your engineer is ready to get to work on your projects within two weeks, not the months a local hire takes. And we don’t just hand them over. We work alongside you to settle them fully into your team, over their first 90 days.
Security
Your drawings, specifications, and client data stay protected, wherever your engineer works. We monitor their systems, manage their access, and secure their devices with endpoint and data-loss protection. For highly confidential work, we even place your Senior Electrical Engineer in a secure GoTeam-managed office in Cebu.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a Senior Electrical Engineer through GoTeam?
Most clients save up to 75% with GoTeam versus an onshore hire, and the reason is the structure: you just need to cover your Senior Electrical Engineer’s salary, set at the Philippine market rate with no markup, plus a single monthly fee that covers their equipment, office, IT, security, and management. To see what that looks like for your business, talk to one of our staffing specialists.
Can I hire just one Senior Electrical Engineer, or do I have to commit to a whole team?
You can start with a single Senior Electrical Engineer. Most of our clients do. Then scale your team as your project pipeline grows. There’s no minimum team size to begin.
What’s the difference between a Senior Electrical Engineer and an Electrical Estimator?
A Senior Electrical Engineer designs the electrical systems for a building, covering power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, and low-voltage systems, and carries that scope from schematic design through to construction documents.An Electrical Estimator prices that work. They quantify materials, calculate labor costs, manage vendor quotes, and assemble the bid.On many projects, the two work together. The engineer designs the systems, and the estimator prices them. GoTeam staffs both, and if your work calls for it, we can get the right engineer and estimator for you.
What’s the difference between an Electrical Engineer and a Mechanical Engineer?
An Electrical Engineer designs the power and lighting systems for a building, so they’re responsible for how that building is powered and lit. A Mechanical Engineer, on the other hand, designs the HVAC systems, which means they’re responsible for how the building is heated, cooled, and ventilated. On most commercial projects, both of these disciplines work on the same building at the same time, because their systems share the same ceiling space, risers, and construction documents. That’s why clients who need electrical engineers from us for their projects almost always need mechanical engineers too. If your projects call for both, GoTeam can place them together for you. Plus, we offer Plumbing Engineers if you need a full MEP team.
Is a Senior Electrical Engineer the same as an MEP Engineer?
No. “MEP Engineer” isn’t actually a single role. MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing, and each of those is its own engineering discipline with its own codes, tools, and scope. So a Senior Electrical Engineer only covers one of those three. They handle the electrical side of the building, from power distribution and lighting to fire alarm and low-voltage systems. If your projects need Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing engineers, GoTeam staffs each one as a dedicated role. Let us know what you need on our first call and we’ll build the team for you.
Is hiring a dedicated Senior Electrical Engineer the same as outsourcing my electrical design?
No. When you outsource electrical design, you send your project requirements to a production house, they draw it up using their own standards and templates, and you get a set of drawings back that your team has to review, redline, and correct before it can go anywhere. A dedicated Senior Electrical Engineer through GoTeam works differently. They work in your software, draw to your standards, use your templates and design libraries, and coordinate with your team in real time. They’re not sending you drawings to check. They’re producing the drawings your engineer of record can stamp.
Can a GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer own the full electrical design scope for my projects?
Yes. Your GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer carries the full electrical design scope, from load calculations and equipment sizing through to finished construction documents, including coordination with mechanical and plumbing disciplines. If you’re an MEP consulting firm, they work under your engineer of record and produce the design sets your clients expect. If you’re an electrical contractor or property developer, they handle the electrical engineering your projects need in-house. Either way, they own the design work end to end.
What kind of electrical engineering work do your Senior Electrical Engineers cover?
GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineers specialize in building services electrical design for commercial, industrial, and residential projects. Their scope covers the full design process, from load calculations and equipment sizing through to single-line diagrams, panel schedules, specifications, and finished construction documents. That includes power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, and low-voltage systems, and coordinating the electrical design with mechanical and plumbing disciplines throughout. If your work involves building services MEP, that’s exactly what they’re trained and screened for.
What qualifications do your Senior Electrical Engineers have?
Every GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer holds a degree in electrical engineering and is licensed through the Philippine Professional Regulation Commission. They’re also screened against US codes and standards, including NEC, NFPA, IEEE, and OSHA, and are equally prepared for Australian and New Zealand standards, including AS/NZS 3000, if your projects require them. If a specific qualification matters for your role, let our team know and we’ll match accordingly.
What software do GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineers use?
Your Senior Electrical Engineer works directly in the tools your team already uses:
- Revit and AutoCAD MEP for building services electrical design
- ETAP and SKM for power systems analysis, load studies, and equipment sizing
- Dialux for lighting design and simulation for interior and exterior layouts
- Bluebeam Revu for engineering review, plan markup, and redline coordination
- Excel for calculation summaries, equipment schedules, and coordination tracking
Plus, they pick up your drawing standards, templates, and design libraries, so there’s nothing new for your team to adopt.
Which electrical codes and standards are your Senior Electrical Engineers screened against?
Every GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer is screened against US codes and standards, including NEC, NFPA, IEEE, OSHA, and local AHJ requirements. And for clients in Australia and New Zealand, they’re equally prepared for AS/NZS 3000 and Safe Work Australia standards. Simply put, the codes your project answers to are the codes your engineer works to.
How does a GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer keep design sets accurate?
Every design set is checked twice. Your Senior Electrical Engineer first works through your drawings with Claude, catching spec conflicts, code compliance gaps, calculation errors, and sheet-to-sheet mismatches before the set goes anywhere. Then they apply the judgment only a human can: verifying that panel schedules reflect the actual connected loads, confirming protection devices are sized correctly for the circuits they serve, and making sure the electrical design performs as specified. There are two passes, one by AI, one by an engineer who knows electrical design.
What does an offshore Senior Electrical Engineer do?
Everything a local Senior Electrical Engineer does. They design your electrical systems, run your load calculations, produce your construction documents, coordinate with your mechanical and plumbing consultants, and check every design decision against the governing code. And with GoTeam, they do it as a full-time, dedicated member of your team who works your hours, in your software, to your standards. They’re not an external service. They report to you.
Which countries does GoTeam serve for electrical engineering?
GoTeam places Senior Electrical Engineers for clients across the United States, Australia, Canada, the UK, and New Zealand, each screened to the electrical codes and standards those markets require. Based somewhere else? Book a call with our team and we’ll walk you through how we can support your market.
Will my Senior Electrical Engineer work in my time zone?
Yes. Your Senior Electrical Engineer works your hours, in your time zone, so they’re online when your team is for real-time coordination, live questions, and same-day turnaround on design reviews.
How quickly can a GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer start?
We handle the sourcing, vetting, and setup, so your Senior Electrical Engineer is ready to start on your projects within about two weeks. The exact timeline depends on how specialized the role is, which we’ll map out with you on our first call.
How does GoTeam manage my Senior Electrical Engineer?
GoTeam assigns a dedicated Client Success Manager to every placement, and they’re the one making sure your Senior Electrical Engineer stays productive, accountable, and aligned with your expectations. That includes regular performance check-ins, workload reviews, and a direct escalation path if anything needs adjusting. You manage the engineering work. We manage the person.
Is the Senior Electrical Engineer I hire with GoTeam fully dedicated to us?
Yes. Your Senior Electrical Engineer works exclusively for your company, full time. They’re not split across clients or juggling other accounts. They learn your standards, your projects, and your team, and that knowledge compounds over time. It’s the same commitment you’d get from a local hire, without the overhead of recruiting, equipping, and managing one yourself.
What if the Senior Electrical Engineer you place isn’t the right fit?
We replace them. GoTeam’s model is built around long-term fit as well as technical screening. If the engineer we place isn’t working out, we find you a replacement at no extra cost. The goal is a Senior Electrical Engineer who stays with your team for years, not one you have to work around.
Is my project data secure with a GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer?
Yes. Every GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer works on company-issued, endpoint-secured hardware with encrypted drives and monitored access. And they access your project files, drawings, and design data through your VPN or remote desktop setup, so nothing leaves your systems. For clients who want an added layer of physical security, GoTeam also offers a secure office option at our Cebu facility. We can walk you through the full security setup on a call.
Can a GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer work under my engineer of record?
Yes. That’s exactly how most of our MEP consulting clients structure it. Your Senior Electrical Engineer produces the design work, your engineer of record reviews and stamps it. They work in your software, draw to your standards, and coordinate directly with your team, so your EOR gets a complete design set they can review with confidence, not a set they have to redo.
Can a GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineer handle coordination with mechanical and plumbing disciplines?
Yes. Cross-discipline coordination is built into the role. Your Senior Electrical Engineer coordinates the electrical design against mechanical and plumbing systems at every stage, from schematic design through to construction documents, flagging clashes, resolving routing conflicts, and making sure the electrical scope lines up with the rest of the building design.
Do your Senior Electrical Engineers have PE certification?
GoTeam Senior Electrical Engineers are licensed through the Philippine Professional Regulation Commission, which is the Philippine equivalent of a professional engineering license. They are not US PE-certified. In practice, this doesn’t change the work. Your Senior Electrical Engineer produces the design, and your US-licensed engineer of record reviews and stamps it. That’s the same division of labor most firms already follow, where the producing engineer does the design work and the PE of record applies the stamp.
