18h•Hybrid

About The Position

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement, with three days in the office and two days remote. The position involves leading others in a project team environment for the design, modification, and/or upgrade of new and existing Electrical / Instrumentation & Controls systems. You will utilize computer-aided drafting skills and mentor others in design software like AutoCAD and/or MicroStation. As part of the Energy & Industrial Group, you will work on projects including Power Generation Stations, Oil & Gas facilities, and Carbon Capture/Emissions Controls. Under the direction of the Electrical Project Lead, you will collaborate with multi-disciplined engineering and design project teams to develop physical and plan drawings to scale, showing proposed installations relative to existing facilities with exact specifications and dimensions, as well as various non-physical drawings and diagrams. You will produce Electrical / Instrumentation & Controls deliverables packages and incorporate vendor drawings into the overall project design. Support will be provided to other designers and project team members to ensure a complete and timely design. Opportunities for field walkdowns and data gathering at client facilities are included.
