Job description

Position Summary

The Wiring Designer produces point-to-point wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and schematic support for BPP’s low- and medium-voltage electrical distribution equipment. This role works independently on assigned projects, collaborates directly with EE leads and project engineers, and reports to the Head of Electrical Design.

This is a mid-level seat. You own your drawings from kickoff through release, flag issues early, and contribute to the standards that keep our drawing package consistent across the team.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce accurate, complete point-to-point wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and schematic support drawings in AutoCAD using BPP tool palettes, custom blocks, and title block standards.
• Manage your own workload against project schedules. Communicate capacity issues or risks to the Head of EE Design before they impact delivery.
• Incorporate revisions, redlines, and as-built feedback from Production and Manufacturing Engineering into drawings.
• Coordinate directly with EE leads, project engineers, and PMs on scope clarifications, drawing version control, and SO# specific requirements.
• Follow company drafting conventions for layer naming, block usage, wire tagging, terminal mapping, and annotation. Flag gaps in the standards when you hit them.
• Participate in drawing reviews, both as the designer of record and as a peer reviewer when asked.
• Support process improvement efforts within the wiring design group. Contribute to checklists, quick-reference docs, and block libraries as they get built out.
• Stay current on applicable standards (NEC, UL 891, UL 1558, ANSI/IEEE) as they apply to panel wiring, labeling, and construction. Raise code or standards questions to EE leads when something in a customer spec or drawing package looks off.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of electrical drafting experience, preferably in switchgear, control panels, or industrial power distribution.
• Proficient in AutoCAD. Comfortable with tool palettes, custom blocks, dynamic blocks, and layer management.
• Able to read and interpret single-line diagrams, schematics, and customer specs without hand-holding.
• Working knowledge of NEC, UL 891, UL 1558, and ANSI/IEEE standards as they apply to panel wiring, labeling, and clearances.
• Strong attention to detail. Can catch the small stuff (wire tag mismatches, terminal numbering errors, wire sizing, missing revisions) before it leaves your desk.
• Clear written and verbal communication. Can push back when something doesn’t look right.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with switchgear, PDUs, or data center power equipment.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD Electrical or similar schematic-capture tools.
• Exposure to SharePoint-based document control workflows.
• Prior experience in a manufacturing environment with direct shop floor interaction.
