Electrical Designer

• Develops designs for electrical engineering systems such as earthwork, drainage, road design, foundation, and steel detailing with minimum supervision from which detailed scale models and/or construction drawings are completed.
• Assists in constructing detailed scale models.
• Ensures compliance with approved electrical design standard, applicable installation codes, and regulations in own work and by those assigned, to provide quality design.
• Reviews and checks calculations, design models, drawings, and design documents prepared by assigned designers/drafters for quality, accuracy, neatness, functionality, and satisfactory completion.
• Participates in constructability reviews.
• Coordinates the reviews for the accuracy of bulk material quantity take-offs and material requisitions for materials applicable to the discipline.
• Works with designers in other disciplines to coordinate overall design and technical requirements.
• Assists in the development of work plans, budgets, and schedules for basic electrical designer tasks based on input and direction from supervisor in designated discipline.
• Provides on-the-job training for personnel within electrical design.
• Generates 2D drawings or 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) design models with minimal guidance from others.
