Electrical Consultants, Inc.

ECI is a company that cares deeply about quality. Other firms will rush jobs out the door when they are not ready; ECI would rather be late rather than wrong. Benefits and salary are amongst the best in the industry with an incredible HSA contribution by the company, profit sharing to your 401K, and a yearly ESOP contribution that is more than generous.

I left the company around four years ago and am thankful that I got outside experience as it is extremely valuable to see different company cultures. With that being said there were enough positives at ECI that makes me happy to be back. With the right mentorship and direction you will be hard pressed to find a better opportunity than ECI.

Recently some great talent has been hired and the future is exciting as the company continues to grow. When you are a young engineer it can be hard to find direction. Do your best to find a mentor within the organization and you should be fine. In the past overtime has caused some burnout. On some level this will be highly dependent on who your supervisor is and how they choose to distribute projects. From what I've seen though ECI has heard criticisms on this and has worked hard to establish a better work/life balance for their employees.

It is a great place to work if you are and electrical engineer, or if you are a transfer engineer from the main office, but you become an outsider fro a civil engineer, since they do not take the time to provide training in their ways to produce calculations, but they expect you to learn it by corrections of various methods only, it does not become a equal employment opportunity, is more of a sink or swim situation. There is more than one way to calculate foundations or structures in civil engineering, as well as there is more than one way grade a terrain, but to have standards, first they need to be layout for the engineer to be successful, instead if they do not teach you their process  it is impossible to know the way they expect to have it done, and it is worst, when quality control engineer changes his methods from one engineer to the next one, not being constant.

I have worked at Electrical Consultants for over 3 1/2 years.  With over 35 years of experience, this is the best company and position that I have ever had.  The compensation is excellent, the managers are knowledgeable, professional, and encouraging.  My co workers are all nice. Corporate is a strong support system for the outlying offices.  My most enjoyable part of this job is the people and the variety of work tasks that I do.  I also feel that when I take initiative to expand what I do or help where it is needed, it is received with positive feedback and that I have been able to grow in my position here.  I would recommend for anyone to work here.  It is a great job.

The company GIVES us shares every year via the ESOP Program as well as giving us $6,000 into our 401k each year, whether we put anything into it or not!  The health insurance is top-notch and the bonuses are outstanding.  All of this and the salaries are highly competitive as well.  Don't believe the salary range estimates shown on Indeed, as they are much lower than actual from what I have seen.  In addition, the company has begun allowing many of its employees to buy additional shares, with some of the money to do so (about a third) being given to us as well.  ECI is an outstanding place to work and really sets its people up well for retirement.

A typical work day involves working closely with engineers and other drafters.  The environment is very friendly and I really do enjoy working with all of my co-workers.  If you are eager to learn and apply yourself they will give you opportunities to expand your duties.  The hardest part of the job is making sure you keep the standards of the client to the best quality.  We push very hard to produce a top shelf product in a timely manner.  The most enjoyable part of the job is being allowed in active part in how the projects are handled.

ECI has been the best company that I have ever worked with. Since my initial interview I have always felt comfortable asking questions and relying on my managers and other coworkers if I need assistance. People are always willing to help each other out and it is a great "team" environment. There are lots of opportunities for advancement in this company if you are willing to work hard and set goals for yourself.

The medical, dental, and vision benefits are some of the best I have seen! The amount the Company submits to a health savings plan almost covers the yearly deductible. 

The Company is growing and allows some employees to work remotely. This depends on job and performance. It is harder for new employees to work remotely, but it can be done. 


I worked for them this year management structure is a joke with good ol boys network. i was let go due to the millions in losses on three projects by the PM. I was just a CM on one project. There clients are slowly banning them from bidding anymore projects. The rates are below market along with the Per Diem and you work 16 hour days a lot.

Having worked with ECI for many years I can confidently say that you get what you put in to the company. If you work hard and continue to grow as an engineer the company will reward you. There are endless opportunities with upward growth if one is willing to work for it. The work environment is relaxed and everyone works well together.

Benefits are horrible. 4.5 PTO days a YEAR. That PTO also included bereavement. 7.5 holidays a YEAR. Zero cost for single health insurance, but $800+ a month for family coverage. Guilt-tripped for taking paternal leave. Management is out of touch and lacks communication.
