About The Position

Generally responsible for performing routine design of less complex engineering assignments using theoretical knowledge and practical design methods under direct supervision. This role involves utilizing department design and drafting standards, understanding project scope, specifications, and design criteria. Key tasks include on-site assistance during startup, producing various electrical and instrumentation plans and diagrams, and developing conceptual layouts and cost studies. The position also requires generating estimate-level preliminary designs, material take-offs, and detailed design calculations. Collaboration with the drafting group and design leaders from other disciplines is essential, as is reviewing vendor and other discipline drawings for electrical/instrumentation input.

Requirements

Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university is required.
Up to 1 year of relevant industrial experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering.
Knowledge and application of the current version of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Knowledge and application of company engineering design and CAD drafting standards.
Ability to perform lighting level calculations.
Ability to size wire, conduit and overcurrent protection for both lighting and power applications.
Ability to perform voltage drop calculations.
Ability to route conduit and cable tray.
Ability to calculate tray and conduit fill.
Working knowledge of CAD software, either AutoCAD, Microstation or both.
Proficient in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook.
Good communication skills, both verbal and written.
