Job description

Overview

We are looking for candidates who are using AutoCad Electrical (ACADE) with SDS (Substation Design Suite) in the substation industry. Ideally these candidates have been using the software for 3-5 years and can support some of the drafting/design independently. We would also be interested in candidates who know only the AutoCad Electrical but have been working in the substation industry. We have been seeing a handful of candidates who only know AutoCad Electrical and not the SDS portion. Our team is willing to teach the SDS skillset, but candidates need to have the substation industry experience. If candidates have AutoCad Electrical only and no substation experience BV will not be selecting those candidates for interviews.

Create and develop deliverables based on a variety of design inputs. May develop less complex design concepts and create project design deliverables based on a variety of design inputs. May perform computations such as development of detailed material quantities and estimates.
• Project Coordination: Coordinate deliverables with other groups involved on the same project to minimize interference or errors. May support field activities. May be responsible for support of project finalization including for example consolidation of records for as-built drawings or information to take off as-built quantities.
• Client Focus: Focuses on the needs of internal clients while gaining an understanding of external client's main interests and drivers. Knowledge Sharing, Innovation and Technology: Proactively seeks and shares knowledge of latest technologies and processes. May apply judgment and makes decisions with respect to deliverables and input interpretation.
