High voltage electrical systems pose significant safety risks, require PE license signatory authority for legal compliance, and involve critical infrastructure that could affect public safety if designed incorrectly
Eliminate this role across all 1 headcount. A single AI agent absorbs the function.
Full replacement is risky due to PE license requirements for signing off on designs, high safety stakes of electrical infrastructure, and need for engineering judgment on complex technical problems. Physical site visits and legal liability make this unsuitable for full AI replacement
Retain 1 human lead. AI absorbs the role across the remaining 1 headcount — eliminating those positions.
This model works well - AI agents can handle calculations, drawing preparation, report writing, project tracking, and documentation while a PE-licensed human lead provides engineering judgment, signs off on designs, handles client relationships, and conducts site visits
All technical calculations need verification, design drawings require PE review and approval, safety-critical decisions need human judgment, and client deliverables need professional oversight due to liability concerns
