The Design Engineer (DE) is a member of the core team for commercial projects. Alone on small projects or part of a team of engineers on large projects, the DE provides technical direction and insight through the project life cycle—from sales concept to design development, construction drawings to implementation support. As a technical authority on a project team, the DE is instrumental in determining and executing client and system requirements and will collaborate with Commercial SME teams as required.

Reporting to the Regional Director of the DE’s project assignments are determined by that director based on enterprise‑wide demands. At times, the DE will be supervised and receive specific task assignments by Senior Design Engineers or Project Managers.

• Provide technical expertise and coordination information to support the base‑building tasks performed by others, and plan audio, video, and control solutions.
• Oversee and/or develop the Bill of Materials (BOM) and supporting documentation.
• Employ detailed design documentation strategy based on established engineering standard practices. Track engineering team tasks to completion.

• Support projects and teams in the build phase. Complete the as‑built drawings for service hand‑over.
• Provide regular project engineering milestone status updates to Technical Operations resource planning.
• Develop expertise in the industry through ongoing review of trade publications, participation in industry trade shows, seminars, and educational forums.
