Electrical Drafter​/Designer

Job Description

Job Title:
Electrical Controls Designer

Job Description

This role focuses on the design, documentation, and quality control of industrial control systems and electrical assemblies. You will independently create complete, build-ready electrical drawing packages from engineering specifications, existing equipment, or field-installed systems, ensuring alignment with internal standards and industry best practices. This is a hands-on electrical controls design position, not a drafting-only role, and offers the opportunity to contribute directly to product development in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.

Responsibilities

• Create complete electrical drawing packages for industrial control panels and electrical systems from engineering specifications, existing equipment, or field-installed systems.
• Produce detailed electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, point-to-point drawings, loop diagrams, single-line diagrams, and P&IDs.
• Develop control panel documentation with minimal oversight, ensuring drawings accurately reflect system functionality and installation requirements.
• Interpret existing electrical systems and reverse engineer drawings when documentation is incomplete or unavailable.
• Generate accurate hardware layouts and identify electrical components based on physical equipment, manufacturer documentation, and design requirements.
• Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), part numbering structures, and associated design documentation.
• Perform drawing quality control reviews to ensure accuracy, completeness, and adherence to electrical drafting and documentation standards.
• Review, incorporate, and update redlined drawings and engineering changes in a timely and organized manner.
• Support manufacturing and assembly teams by producing manufacturing-ready, build-ready documentation packages.
• Collaborate closely with controls engineers and electrical engineers to maintain consistency across all drawing packages and documentation standards.
• Maintain strong revision control practices and ensure all documentation is up to date and properly organized.

Essential Skills

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in electrical drafting, electrical design, or control panel design.
• Strong proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical or Solid Works Electrical for creating and managing electrical drawing packages.
• Demonstrated experience creating complete electrical drawing packages from scratch with minimal direction.
• Proven experience designing and documenting industrial control panels and related electrical assemblies.
• Strong understanding of electrical schematics, panel hardware layouts, point-to-point wiring diagrams, loop diagrams, single-line diagrams, and P&IDs.
• Ability to identify electrical components, symbols, terminal connections, relays, PLC I/O, power distribution components, and control devices within drawings and physical systems.
• Experience creating manufacturing-ready documentation packages that support efficient production and assembly.
• Strong knowledge of electrical drafting standards, documentation practices, and revision control processes.
• Experience performing quality control checks for electrical drawings and documentation packages.
• Experience in controls engineering, automation, robotics, industrial equipment, manufacturing, energy, oil & gas, or related industries.
• Experience supporting PLC-based control systems and industrial automation equipment.
• Previous experience creating drawings directly from existing control panels or field-installed systems.
• Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology experience with significant control panel design and documentation experience.
• Familiarity with UL508A, NFPA 70, NEC, or other applicable electrical standards.
