POSITION OVERVIEW The Engineering Designer – Electrical is responsible for developing detailed electrical system designs, models, and construction documentation that support mission-critical facilities, including modular data centers and industrial installations. This role works closely with electrical engineers, architects, project managers, and cross-discipline design teams to ensure electrical systems are accurate, code-compliant, fully coordinated, and constructible.

The ideal candidate brings strong electrical design fundamentals, advanced 3D modeling and drafting capabilities, and a proactive approach to quality, coordination, and continuous improvement.

RESPONSIBILITIES -Electrical Design & Modeling

• Create, modify, and maintain detailed 3D electrical system models for lighting, power distribution, fire alarm, security, and low-voltage systems using Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar design platforms.
• Produce accurate electrical drawings, layouts, schematics, and schedules that meet project requirements, codes, and industry standards.
• Translate engineering concepts, redlines, sketches, and specifications into complete design deliverables.

Coordination & Integration

• Collaborate with electrical engineers, architects, and other disciplines to ensure electrical systems are fully coordinated within the overall facility design.
• Identify spatial conflicts between electrical systems and other building components and work with teams to resolve issues early.
• Support coordination meetings and design reviews to ensure alignment and constructability.

Quality Control & Standards

• Perform quality checks to ensure drawings and models are accurate, current, and aligned with company and project standards.
• Develop, maintain, and improve electrical templates, standard details, part libraries, and design conventions.
• Ensure design updates and revisions are incorporated correctly and communicated effectively.

Documentation & Submittals

• Assist with preparation of design submittals, technical reports, and presentations for internal teams, clients, and contractors.
• Provide technical clarification and documentation support to project managers and field teams.

Continuous Improvement

• Stay current on electrical design best practices, software capabilities, and code updates.
• Recommend workflow and process improvements to enhance design efficiency and consistency.
• Perform other related duties as assigned to support departmental and organizational objectives.
