Distribution Designer Job Cadillac area,Michigan USA,Engineering

Independently develop complete design and construction work packages for overhead and underground electrical distribution systems for utility customers, with a primary focus on overhead distribution.
Perform field work as needed, including visiting assigned sites to capture detailed photographs and measurements that will inform the final design.
Translate field data into accurate distribution designs using utility-specific design software (Open Utilities) and other CAD tools.
Design power distribution systems by determining power requirements, defining main distribution panels, subpanels, transformers, and branch circuits, and selecting appropriate equipment such as transformers, circuits, power lines, and utility poles.
Develop the physical layout of the distribution system and associated equipment, ensuring constructability, safety, and alignment with client standards and industry codes.
Conduct energy analyses to verify that selected materials and equipment meet the required electrical demand and usage for the site, whether residential or commercial.
Create and maintain a detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) for each project and enter it into SAP or similar material tracking software for procurement and tracking purposes.
Use structural analysis tools such as Pole Foreman, PLA, or similar pole loading analysis software to evaluate the integrity and strength of wood poles, determine whether pole replacement is required, and perform guying calculations.
Specify conductor sags and tensions, evaluate recommended spans, and perform calculations related to voltage drop and flicker to ensure reliable system performance.
Apply National Electric Safety Code (NESC) requirements when making design decisions and selecting materials to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
Design and drafting experience in a professional or academic setting, or an Associate’s degree with a major focused in Design or Computer-Aided Design (CAD).
Proficiency with CAD and design tools such as AutoCAD, Solid Works, CATIA, Micro Station, or similar computer-aided design software.
Ability to learn and use utility-specific design software, including Open Utilities, for electrical distribution design.
Fundamental understanding of electrical power distribution concepts, including transformers, circuits, low voltage distribution (LVD), and electrical demand.
Knowledge of or experience working with National Electric Safety Code (NESC) requirements and applying codes to distribution designs and material selection.
