Electrical Designer 2 - Mission Critical

Sargent & Lundy•Albuquerque, NM

18h•$64,817 - $93,201

About The Position

Sargent & Lundy’s Government Services Group is seeking an Electrical Designer to join its design group, which supports DOE facility projects, including new and retrofit designs, special-purpose glove boxes and their controls and auxiliary systems, precision furnaces, hot cells, custom pressure vessels, and other specialized equipment. Working as part of a multidisciplinary project team, the designer will prepare electrical and controls design drawings from engineering input, using 2D and 3D computer-aided design tools. The work includes creating scaled drawings that show how proposed installations relate to existing facilities and specify dimensions, and may include accompanying experienced engineers and designers on client-facility walkdowns to collect project information. The designer will also contribute to designs for new power distribution and lighting and prepare design media for procurement and implementation of software, instrumentation, and control-system platforms. The role offers opportunities to expand drafting and technical skills through project work and peer learning via Sargent & Lundy’s systems of process and Communities of Practice. The position supports mission-critical DOE and national laboratory work involving facilities, systems, and equipment for nuclear cleanup, waste management, and safe handling and processing of nuclear material. Candidates must be U.S. citizens; dual citizenship with a country other than the U.S. does not qualify. The candidate must be able to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance.

Requirements

Must be a U.S. citizen; dual citizenship with a country other than the U.S. does not qualify.
Must be able to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance.
Associate’s degree in a technical area, including drafting, or a high school diploma and equivalent technical design experience.
At least 6 years of professional experience converting engineers’ designs into technical drawings, or equivalent education and experience.
Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or MicroStation.
Experience designing electrical/controls engineering systems in a project-team environment, focused on integrated, detailed system design for new facilities or modifications or replacements for existing facilities.
Experience preparing and reviewing design drawings.
Effective written and verbal communication skills.
Detail-oriented approach to work.

Nice To Haves

CAD certificate.
BIM modeling using Autodesk products (Revit) or equivalent.
Navisworks experience.
Experience with ProjectWise, SmartPlant Foundation, or similar document management applications.

Experience with electrical system design, including medium- and low-voltage distribution systems (transformers, generators, and motors), communication systems, one-line diagrams, loop diagrams, and cable and conduit diagrams.
Interest in learning and effectively using emerging technologies relevant to the role; experience with AI, automation, programming, or similar technologies is valued where relevant but is not required.

Responsibilities

Prepare design drawings based on engineering design input as part of a multidisciplinary project team.
Use computer-aided drafting skills in 2D and 3D design software environments.
Create scaled drawings showing proposed installations in relation to existing facilities, including exact specifications and dimensions.
Accompany and assist experienced engineers and designers on client-facility walkdowns to gather project information, as needed.
Work with electrical designers and engineers on designs for new power distribution and lighting.
Prepare design media for the procurement and implementation of software, instrumentation, and control-system platforms.
Participate in peer learning through Sargent & Lundy’s systems of process and Communities of Practice.
