This page reads every active posting whose normalized title is Electrical Engineer across the ten boards JobsPipe collects and reports what those employers ask for: the seniority they target, whether the role is remote, whether pay is disclosed, the skills named in the text, and the industries, countries and company sizes behind the postings.

3.0% of these postings are marked remote, 32.4% state a salary or range, the most common seniority label is senior at 16.1%. Postings with no seniority label are counted in the denominator, so the seniority shares do not sum to one.

## FAQ

### What share of electrical engineer job postings are remote?

3.0% of the active postings on this page carry a remote flag. The flag is read from the posting itself, so hybrid roles that never say remote are counted as on-site. Filter the API with remote set to true and the same scope to reproduce the figure.

### How many electrical engineer postings disclose salary?

32.4% state a salary or a range in the posting text or structured fields. Disclosure varies more by board and by jurisdiction than by role, so compare the figure with the board-level shares on the sources pages before reading it as a market signal.

### Which skills appear most in electrical engineer postings?

The most named skills are communication (44.7%), compliance (30.9%), autocad (27.7%), leadership (19.6%), mentoring (15.5%). Skills are extracted from the posting text against a curated lexicon, and a posting counts once per skill it names, so the shares overlap.

### Which industries hire the most electrical engineer roles?

By ISIC division, the largest shares are Architecture and engineering (12.7%), Employment and staffing (4.2%), Other transport equipment (4.0%). Industry is resolved from the employer's classification where known, and postings without a classification are excluded from this cut.

### Which functions are employers in Electrical Engineer hiring for?

The largest functions by share of postings are Engineering (74.4%), Engineering and Information Technology (19.1%), Other (1.3%), Design, Consulting, and Engineering (0.6%). Function is assigned from the normalized title and the posting text.

### Where do these numbers come from?

From JobsPipe's live index of postings on the ten boards it collects, deduplicated by posting id and counted on 2026-09-09. Only shares are published; the underlying counts stay private. Every figure can be reproduced against the JobsPipe API with the filters shown on this page.
