Apply UL standards (UL 508A, UL 845, UL 489, etc.) for designs intended for North American markets.

Perform or support third‑party panel certification processes and documentation.

Participate in design reviews, HAZOP/LOPA reviews, and internal QA audits.

Collaboration & Communication

Coordinate with mechanical, process, and software engineers to integrate electrical designs into complete system solutions.

Liaise with vendors and suppliers for technical clarifications on panels, drives, and control hardware.

Support procurement teams with technical specifications and equipment selection.

Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior draughtspersons and design engineers.

Interface with clients during design reviews, factory acceptance tests (FAT), and site activities as required
