Tasks will include utilizing software for building information modeling, computer-aided drafting and engineering calculations.
Responsibilities:

• Lead a team of discipline staff in the execution of electrical systems design and engineering for advanced and complex projects in conformance with code requirements and in coordination with other design disciplines.
• Work closely with other architects, engineers, and designers, as well as other internal and external team members to ensure a coordinated, constructible, and complete design.
• Coordinate with construction trade partners, vendors, and manufacturers.
• Develop narratives, reports, and construction drawing packages and write construction specifications on large projects of advanced complexity with no oversight.
• Provide lead and advanced support for construction activities such as RFI responses, submittal reviews, punch list development, and construction progress reports.
• Attend professional development activities.
• Utilize various platforms to execute work, such as Microsoft Office products and available BIM software.
• Interface with clients and external partners.
• Plan and direct work and manage a project budget from an electrical design perspective on small, medium, and large complex projects.
