Marketing

• Assist in preparing marketing presentation materials with electrical scope highlights.
• Assist in preparing marketing presentation materials with electrical scope highlights.
• Organize and maintain proposal binders and electrical project sheets.

Design

• Develop building electrical systems: power distribution (one-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, feeder/conduit sizing, voltage drop), lighting and lighting controls, and equipment connections.
• Perform lighting calculations and layouts using AGi32 or DIALux; coordinate lighting control sequences per energy codes.
• Coordinate utility service requirements with local utilities; assist with service load letters and applications.
• Prepare fire alarm layouts and device coordination in accordance with NFPA 72 and local AHJ requirements.
• Coordinate low-voltage/technology systems (telecom, data, security, AV) layouts and device rough-in with specialty consultants.
• Produce coordinated construction documents (plans, details, schedules, and specifications) using Revit MEP and AutoCAD; maintain model fidelity and drawing standards.
• Participate in BIM coordination and clash detection (e.g., Navisworks), and resolve conflicts with architectural, structural, mechanical, and plumbing disciplines.
• Support QA/QC reviews, redline incorporation, and design revisions through project milestones.

Pre-Construction

• Assist in preparing bid documents with the BD/Precon team, including scope narratives, basis-of-design, and drawing/specification packages.
• Support quantity takeoffs and preliminary estimates for electrical systems; compile equipment schedules and vendor budgetary quotes.
• Assist in responding to RFIs, addenda, and client inquiries during the bid phase.

During Construction

• Supervising on Beginning, Midterm, Term-end as designer.
• MEP Inspection for completion.

Office/Design Administration
