The role supports projects from design concept through construction, including developing drawings and documentation for power distribution, lighting and controls, grounding, and low-voltage systems. It also involves interdisciplinary coordination, construction administration support, maintaining Revit models and CAD standards, and helping newer design staff develop their work.

• Experience designing for commercial, industrial, healthcare, institutional, or similar facility types.
• Strong attention to detail, clear communication, and ability to manage multiple assignments and deadlines.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in semiconductor, clean room, advanced manufacturing, or other mission-critical facilities.
• Familiarity with emergency power, generator, UPS, and other critical electrical systems.
• Experience with low-voltage systems such as fire alarm, security, and telecommunications design coordination.
• Familiarity with Bluebeam, lighting design software, or other technical tools that support design and coordination.
• Experience working with or mentoring junior designers.

Responsibilities

• Develop electrical construction drawings and documentation for power distribution, lighting, lighting controls, grounding, and low-voltage systems from design concept through construction.
• Produce and coordinate one-lines, panel schedules, riser diagrams, plans, details, and schedules based on engineer direction and project requirements.
• Assist with specifications, equipment schedules, and basic load and system calculations, and check them for accuracy and consistency.
• Independently complete assigned drawing packages and keep engineers informed about progress, questions, and potential design conflicts.
• Coordinate with architecture, mechanical, plumbing, and structural disciplines, as well as clients and contractors, to resolve conflicts and keep projects moving.
• Support project delivery through submittal reviews, RFI responses, field verification, and construction administration activities.
• Maintain Revit models and CAD standards, and follow company BIM and drawing procedures.
• Share knowledge with newer designers and CAD/Revit staff and review their work for completeness and quality.
