• Apply design knowledge to engineer 480V through 5kv Motor Control, and 480V through 38kV Switchgear along with other miscellaneous equipment
• Work with the Project Management team to help interpret project write-ups, client specifications, drawings, and other correspondence during the life of the project
• Create and validate Bills of Materials for client submittal and approval
• Complete self and peer design reviews to verify accuracy and completeness of designs before issuing projects to Powell's manufacturing floor for construction
• Mentor junior engineers in their team
• Provide technical support in client meetings
• Coordinate with purchasing and suppliers to specify & approve component parts and assemblies
• Provide prompt notification to supervisor and project management for issues that impact scope, budget, and schedule
• Coordinate with the electrical design team, and the mechanical engineering team for the final design and construction package to include wiring diagrams, one-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, control schemes, and mechanical layouts of the project
• Create AC and DC schematics, door component layouts, wiring diagrams, and one-line diagrams for project approval, construction and As-Built's drawing submittals
• Provide technical support as necessary for sales, application engineering, and inspection teams throughout the life of the project
• Assist fellow production engineers in solving problems on a daily basis
• Adhere to Powell's policies and procedures, work instructions, ISO policies, Safety Rules and Regulations
