Job Description
In this role you will be responsible for electrical engineering design tasks under supervision, contributing to building systems design using BIM tools (including Revit), performing calculations, creating specifications and drawings, collaborating with architects, mechanical engineers, and other disciplines, and supporting project delivery from schematic through construction documents. You will also assist with coordination, quality control, construction phase support, and may eventually take increasing responsibility for project leadership as you grow.
Key Responsibilities
-
- Develop electrical systems design including power distribution, lighting, emergency systems, grounding/bonding, life safety circuits, etc.
- Produce drawings using Revit (and related BIM coordination) and contribute to model updates and revisions.
- Perform load calculations, voltage drop, short-circuit/coordination study input, lighting design and energy compliance work.
- Generate and prepare specifications, design narratives, and engineering memos.
- Coordinate electrical designs with mechanical/plumbing/structural disciplines, architects and other stakeholders.
- Participate in design review meetings, respond to RFI’s, coordinate redlines and mark-ups, assist in construction administration.
- Ensure code compliance (NFPA, NEC, local jurisdiction requirements) as well as firm quality standards.
- Assist senior engineers in mentoring junior staff or interns as required.
- Maintain project documentation, meet schedule milestones, and support the project team in delivering on scope/budget.
