• Detailed Design Work
  
  
• Perform detailed and repetitive design tasks such as tagging devices, updating cable schedules, and maintaining drawing accuracy.
  
  
• Maintain document control standards and ensure consistency across engineering packages.
  
  
• System Coordination (Piping, Lube Oil, Water)
  
  
• Coordinate electrical interface points with piping, lube oil, water, and auxiliary system designs.
  
  
• Ensure electrical requirements for pumps, valves, heaters, instrumentation, and packaged equipment are clearly defined.
  
  
• Support layout coordination with mechanical and process teams.
  
  
• Project Support Activities
  
  
• Review vendor documents for basic electrical content.
  
  
• Assist with redlines, RFIs, updates to as-built drawings, and construction support tasks.
  
  
• Participate in internal design reviews and cross-discipline coordination meetings.
  
  Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
    
    
  • 0–3 years of experience in industrial, power, or manufacturing project environments.
    
    
  • Familiarity with wiring diagrams, schematics, and basic electrical devices.
    
    
  • Exposure to single line diagrams and fundamentals of power distribution.
    
    
  • Basic understanding of industrial systems (piping, lube oil, water) is a plus.
    
    
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD or similar electrical drafting/design tools.
    
    
  Preferred Qualifications
  • Internship or co-op experience with an EPC, OEM, or industrial facility.
    
    
  • Knowledge of NEC/IEEE or other relevant electrical standards.
    
    
  • Experience supporting packaged equipment or skid-based systems.
    
    
  Key Competencies
  • Strong attention to detail and willingness to perform repetitive, accuracy-critical tasks.
    
    
  • Eagerness to learn from senior engineers and grow technical competency.
    
    
  • Good communication skills and ability to work in a multi-discipline environment.
