Electrical Engineer Business Cards for PE Licensed Electrical Professionals

Electrical engineers design, analyze, and manage the electrical and power systems that enable modern buildings, infrastructure, and industrial operations to function — from the utility service entrance and main switchgear through distribution panels, wiring, lighting systems, emergency power, and the specialty electrical systems that define how a building operates safely and efficiently.

What Electrical Engineer Cards Include

Your Credentials

Professional Engineer license:

• P.E. (Professional Engineer) — state PE license; the primary credential; requires passing the NCEES FE exam, 4 years qualifying experience, and passing the NCEES PE exam in Electrical and Computer Engineering; electrical PEs sign and seal electrical construction documents and are the electrical engineer of record
• State PE license number
• E.I.T. (Engineer in Training) — pre-PE designation

Specialty electrical credentials:

• RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) — BICSI; the primary credential for low-voltage, data, AV, and telecommunications infrastructure designers; highly valued for electrical engineers who also do technology systems design
• CDCDP (Certified Data Centre Design Professional) — BICSI; data center design specialty
• CDCP (Certified Data Centre Professional) — BICSI; operations-focused data center credential
• EIT (Electrical Inspector/Technology) — various inspection credentials
• LEED AP — USGBC; most relevant is LEED AP BD+C for MEP electrical engineers on green building projects
• CEM (Certified Energy Manager) — AEE; for electrical engineers with energy management, efficiency, or commissioning focus
• CEA (Certified Energy Auditor) — AEE; energy auditing specialty
• CMVP (Certified Measurement and Verification Professional) — EVO; for energy performance verification
• Cx (Commissioning) — various commissioning credentials from AABC, NEBB, BCA

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers):

• IEEE Senior Member — IEEE's recognition for senior professional members; requires significant years of IEEE membership and significant professional experience
