Job description

Job Description

The Electrical Designer translates customer electrical one-line diagrams into physical, safe, and code-compliant installations within custom modular PDC buildings. This role maps the internal layout and power distribution containment infrastructure, ensuring that custom-engineered electrical components integrate perfectly into the building's physical shell. The Electrical Designer is accountable for the internal electrical system design, physical equipment layout, and cable containment infrastructure within custom modular PDC buildings. Reporting directly to their assigned Project Manager for project deliverables, this role translates customer electrical one-line diagrams into physical, safe, and code-compliant installations.

Accountabilities:

• Equipment Spatial Layouts: Design physical floor plans and clearances for high-voltage switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), variable frequency drives (VFDs), and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).
• Containment & Cable Tray Routing: Route 3D overhead or under-floor cable trays, wireways, and conduit runs ensuring zero interference with the building’s structural steel or HVAC ducting.
• System Wiring Schematics: Generate comprehensive terminal-to-terminal interconnection wiring diagrams, interior/exterior building lighting layouts, and structural grounding grid designs.
• Compliance & Support: Verify all electrical designs adhere strictly to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and provide immediate support to industrial electricians on the plant assembly floor.
