These positions are long term. We are looking for mid to senior level Electrical Designers!
The Electrical Designer - Mid requires strong technical ability to both perform design tasks, ability to work independently with moderate guidance, and strong communication skills in written, spoken, and personal formats. This position must be capable of producing complete construction drawing packages, coordinating with or working under our engineers. The position must also coordinate with designers and engineers from other disciplines, provide complete packages in proper formats for our project assistants, and coordinate with document control for proper checkout/check-in procedures. Our mid-level designers span the range of just starting to lead their own small design projects under the guidance of our Work Group Leaders (WGL), to being capable of leading medium size projects with a small team. Strong knowledge and ability to produce all the foundational pieces of electrical design packages is essential.
- Execute project design tasks in partnership with Electrical Engineer counterparts
- Coordinate with Electrical Engineer, Design WGL, and project team to develop basic schedules
- Coordinate inter-discipline design directly with counterparts in other disciplines (such as piping and control systems)
- Work within 3D design software where applicable; contribute to and extract information from 3D model
- Perform detailed vendor document reviews and incorporate into project design
- Perform drawing and document research in client databases; coordinate with Document Control to properly find and checkout drawings
- Lead the development of detailed construction packages in accordance with codes and standards:
- Process and Instrumentation Diagrams
- Block Diagrams
- Location and Plot Plans
- Motor control and wiring schematics
- Switchgear control and wiring schematics
- Single line drawings
- Electrical grounding, power, and lighting plan drawings
- Electrical hazardous area classification drawings
- Installation details
- Heat tracing design and drawings
- Conduit & Tray Diagrams
- Material Take-Offs (MTO) and Bills of Material (BoMs)
- Coordinate final package quality checks and hand-off to project assistants for formal issue

- Perform quality checks on ones’ own work
- Ensure projects and work processes adhere to the Project Services Quality System (PSQS)
- Perform work with minimal supervision and guidance
