What You’ll Be Doing## ## Job Scope As a Lead Designer, you will provide supervision and technical direction for a team of designers and be accountable for on-time delivery of electrical and instrumentation (E&I) design deliverables within budget and quality expectations. You may also perform advanced design work as a technical specialist on complex assignments, using project controls to manage cost, schedule, and quality.

Work is performed under minimal supervision.## ##

Key Responsibilities
* Apply department design and drafting standards.
* Interpret and communicate project scope, specifications, and design criteria when assigned to a project task team.
* Produce E&I design deliverables under minimal supervision, including installation details; MCC single-lines and elementaries; electrical room layouts; connection diagrams; cable schedules; control panel layouts; and grounding, lighting, power, and instrumentation plans.
* Identify and communicate scope and design changes promptly.
* Provide on-site assistance during startup.
* Provide technical guidance to less-experienced drafting personnel.
* Coordinate work activities with other staff members and the discipline lead.
* Report current status of project work to the discipline lead, including delays and opportunities to improve projected finish dates.
* Partner with clients to define scope of work and support client interactions on technical matters.
* Develop 480

VAC equipment specifications with engineering review and approval.
* Develop 15kV/5kV equipment specifications with engineering review and approval.
* Develop electrical installation specifications with engineering review and approval.
* Demonstrate a complete understanding of the skills and experience required to perform E&I design functions.
* Lead and coordinate design staff efforts to achieve scope, schedule, and budget objectives.
* Mentor and develop subordinates.
* Participate in team and cross-discipline checks to ensure coordination across design disciplines.
* Review calculations prepared by other designers for accuracy and compliance with codes, specifications, design criteria, and good engineering practice.
* Determine construction quantities and support construction cost estimates.
* Delegate work based on designers’ skills and experience, and follow up to ensure efficient progress and quality.
* Coordinate with design leaders from other disciplines to align scope, priorities, and execution.
* Support training plans, continuing education opportunities, and professional development for staff.## Qualifications
