About SPARK Consulting Engineers
SPARK Consulting Engineers (SCE) is a specialty electrical engineering firm based in Springfield, Oregon. We provide expert design, peer review, and consulting services for building electrical systems, photovoltaic arrays, power system studies, and resilient backup solutions—including generators and battery storage.
Our work supports architects, owners, and developers with code-compliant, performance-optimized designs tailored to project goals, site conditions, and long-term reliability.
SCE is professionally licensed in Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Texas, New York, Ohio, and Alabama, enabling seamless support across diverse jurisdictions.
Our Specialized Services
Electrical Engineering
Great design starts with a shared vision and open dialogue. At SPARK Consulting Engineers, our electrical system designs are shaped through close collaboration, with architects, owners, and builders, to ensure every solution is code-compliant, constructible, and aligned with project goals. From early power distribution planning and schematic level studies to final permit and construction documents, we bring clarity and creativity to every step. Together, we turn ideas into reality, engineering that supports people, purpose, and possibility.
Lighting Design
We believe lighting should do more than meet code, it should transform environments. Our lighting design services blend precision and creativity, from photometric analysis and fixture selection to tailored layouts for interiors, exteriors, and site plans. We collaborate closely with clients to illuminate spaces with intention, ensuring every room feels purposeful, every pathway safe, and every control system seamlessly integrated. Whether it's a quiet reading nook or a bustling commercial lobby, we design lighting that enhances experience, supports wellbeing, and brings architecture to life.
Peer Reviews
With over two decades of experience, we offer meticulous peer reviews and Engineer-of-Record services that safeguard qaulity and liability. Whether reviewing third-party designs or stamping final deliverables, SPARK ensures that every drawing meets applicable Codes, standards, and jurisdictional requirements. Our review process emphasizes constructability, coordination, and risk management.
Power System Studies
We perform detailed power system analyses to optimize performance, reliability, and safety. Our studies include short-circuit analysis, protective device coordination, arc flash hazard assessments, and load-flow modeling. SPARK's insights help clients make informed decisions about equipment sizing, system upgrades, and operational strategies.
Photovoltaic Systems
SPARK designs high-performance solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that align with energy goals, site constraints, and Code requirements. We specialize in rooftop, ground-mounted, and canopy installations, integrating NEC-compliant working clearances, inverter selections, and utility interconnection strategies. Our designs prioritize long-term reliability, maintainability, and ROI.
Dry Utility Consulting
We navigate the complexities of dry utility coordination - power, telecom, and gas - with precision and foresight. SPARK streamlines utility design and agency approvals, ensuring timely service connections and conflict-free site layouts. Our approach reduces delays and surprises by aligning utility infrastructure with civil, architectural, and electrical plans from day one.
Resiliency Planning & Design
We help clients prepare for the unexpected - whether it's grid outages, natural disasters, or cyber threats. SPARK's resiliency services include backup power strategies, microgrid integration, and system hardening. Our designs support continuity of operations and align with NFPA, FEMA, and client-specific risk profiles.
EMI Mitigating Design
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can compromise sensitive equipment and system integrity. SPARK provides EMI-conscious design for residential, healtcare, data centers, and mission-critical facilities. We address grounding, shielding, and equipment layout to minimize interference and ensure compliance with IEEE and manufacturer standards.
The SPARK Advantage
At SPARK, we are dedicated to delivering innovative electrical engineering solutions that empower projects with reliability and performance. Our expertise and focus on sustainable practices set us apart, ensuring project success in dynamic environments.
Tailored Approaches
Every project is unique. So is our process.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all engineering. Whether you're working through schematic design or final contract documents, we adapt our services to fit your goals, delivery method, and site conditions. From design/bid/build to CM/GC, we speak your language and meet you where you are.
Industry Expertise
20 years of experience, and still learning every day.
SPARK is built on two decades of hands-on electrical engineering across multiple industry sectors and states. We bring deep technical knowledge to every challenge - from photovoltaic systems and EMI mitigation to complex power studies and campus-wide distribution systems. We know what works, and we know why.
Client-Centric Focus
We treat your project like it's our own.
As a family-owned firm, we take pride in building real relationships. We listen, we collaborate, and we stay responsive - because great engineering starts with trust and listening. Our goal isn't just to deliver documents; it's to make your life easier and your outcomes stronger.
Proven Performance
Reliable designs. Resilent systems. Real results.
From peer reviews to Engineer-of-Record stamping, our work is grounded in Code compliance, constructability, and long-term reliability. We've supported projects across multiple states with consistent quality and clear communication - because performance isn't just measured in kilowatts, it's measured in confidence.
