Headquartered in West Palm Beach with offices in Merritt Island, Jacksonville, and Tampa, JLRD delivers all four engineering disciplines in-house across healthcare, education, government, federal, aviation, utilities and infrastructure, commercial and mixed-use, hospitality, residential, and mission-critical facilities. We are privately owned and engineering-led. We compete on technical depth, not scale, and we build teams accordingly.

This role owns the electrical design effort on assigned projects from schematic design through construction administration, coordinates across disciplines, communicates directly with clients and project stakeholders, and applies independent engineering judgment to deliver technically sound, high-quality projects.
