GCC provides construction management, project management and commissioning support for a portfolio of Non-Recurring Maintenance (NRM) projects at the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System (CAVHCS), covering its VA Medical Center campuses in Montgomery and Tuskegee, Alabama. The work includes replacing the aging central boiler plant with a new boiler system and its supporting infrastructure, along with a building renovation and the renovation of pathology space. Other projects replace fire alarm systems in several buildings, correct failing plumbing conditions, and mitigate critical electrical hazards through site lighting improvements, which together address deficiencies found in facility condition assessments. On-site mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and staff architects are each assigned to a specific project, providing project management, scheduling, cost and change order control, and review of submittals and requests for information. The team also runs quality assurance inspections, constructability and phasing reviews, and safety and code compliance monitoring. It coordinates closely with facility staff so construction doesn't disrupt ongoing hospital operations, utilities or patient access. The team oversees commissioning and startup of new systems, so each project is fully tested, documented and ready for turnover to the VA over the next five years.

How do you become a electrical engineer in Alabama?
The path to practicing as a licensed electrical engineer in Alabama runs through the Alabama State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, which administers the Fundamentals of Engineering and Principles and Practice of Engineering exams. You'll need an accredited bachelor's degree in electrical engineering to sit for the FE exam, then qualifying work experience before the PE exam. Many Alabama employers hire EIT-credentialed graduates into design roles while they work toward full licensure.
How much do electrical engineers make in Alabama?
Electrical engineers in Alabama earn a median of about $125,630 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,840 for the lowest 10% to over $180,220 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical engineers in Alabama?
Alabama electrical engineer roles are posted by Raytheon, Leidos, and KBR and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Alabama's defense corridor in Huntsville and its automotive and shipbuilding base in Birmingham and Mobile keep demand for electrical engineers broad and consistent across sectors.
Which Alabama cities have the most electrical engineer jobs?
Huntsville, Birmingham, and Alabama are the Alabama cities with the most electrical engineer openings. Huntsville's dense concentration of defense contractors and federal agencies, including Redstone Arsenal, anchors the state's hiring volume, while Birmingham's manufacturing and utilities sector and Mobile's shipbuilding and aerospace industries create strong secondary demand across the state.

How can I get hired as a electrical engineer in Alabama with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a co-op or new-graduate program at one of Alabama's large defense or manufacturing employers. Companies like Northrop Grumman and SAIC in Huntsville and major automotive suppliers in the Birmingham corridor regularly bring in engineering graduates for structured rotational or associate engineer roles. Earning your EIT credential through the Fundamentals of Engineering exam signals readiness to Alabama employers and often unlocks entry-level postings that list it as a preferred qualification over experience.
