Electrical Designer

Job Title:

Electrical Designer

Job Description

This role focuses on developing detailed electrical design drawings and technical documentation for complex power distribution systems in industrial and semiconductor environments. You will design and document systems such as switch gear lineups, lighting layouts, grounding and lightning protection systems, and ensure all work complies with applicable electrical codes and industry standards. You will collaborate closely with designers, senior engineers, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver high‑quality, constructible designs that meet client requirements and support large, technology‑driven facilities.

Responsibilities

* Develop detailed electrical design drawings and technical documentation for power distribution systems, including switch gear lineups, lighting layouts, grounding systems, and lightning protection systems.

* Determine conduit, conductor, and wire sizes by carefully evaluating current loads, environmental conditions, and system requirements.

* Evaluate and calculate cable tray fill to ensure proper cable management, organization, and allowance for future expansion.

* Perform detailed short‑circuit calculations to determine fault currents, select appropriate protective devices, and ensure system safety and reliability.

* Perform accurate voltage drop calculations to maintain system stability and compliance with industry and project standards.

* Ensure all electrical designs strictly adhere to relevant local, state, and national electrical codes and regulations.

* Apply established electrical design techniques, including load flow analysis and fault current calculations, and exercise sound judgment in adapting and modifying design concepts to meet project needs.

* Uphold quality control by following internal electrical design standards and industry best practices throughout the design process.

* Produce power distribution schematics, panel schedules, lighting and grounding plans, and other system diagrams aligned with industry standards and client criteria.

* Interpret electrical one‑line diagrams and convert them into clear, constructible construction documents.

* Collaborate closely with other designers, senior engineers, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams (mechanical, structural, process/chemical, architectural, and others) to address complex project features and develop solutions to unusual problems.

* Foster effective communication, coordination, and teamwork across project stakeholders to optimize efficiency, quality, and resource utilization.

* Support inter‑company teams and contribute to project planning, design reviews, and coordination meetings as needed.

Essential Skills

* GED or equivalent education.

* Minimum of 2 years of electrical design experience.

* At least 1 year of experience working on industrial projects or similar environments such as data centers, semiconductor facilities, tool install projects, healthcare facilities, or oil and gas projects.

* Proficiency in AutoCAD for developing and modifying electrical design drawings and construction documents.

* Demonstrated ability to produce power distribution schematics, panel schedules, lighting plans, grounding plans, and other system diagrams that meet industry standards and client requirements.

* Proficiency in interpreting electrical one‑line diagrams and translating them into detailed design and construction documentation.

* Experience collaborating within multidisciplinary project teams, including coordination with mechanical, structural, process/chemical, architectural, and other disciplines.

* Strong understanding of electrical codes and regulations at the local, state, and national levels.

* Ability to perform and document short‑circuit calculations, voltage drop calculations, and related electrical analyses.

* Experience designing power distribution systems, including lighting and power distribution layouts, and associated documentation.

* Ability to assess conduit routing, conduit sizing, and cable tray fill to support robust and maintainable electrical installations.
