  • Execute the design process from inception through delivery
  • Assist sales teams with project proposals and provide technical input as needed
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
WHAT YOU BRING

  • Hands-on knowledge of electrical systems, including switchgear, control panels, and VFDs
  • Proficient in ACAD 3D and Solidworks for system and structural design tasks

  • Familiarity with applicable codes (NEC, IEC, IEE, NFPA, ABS, and other relevant codes)
  • Ability to interpret electrical drawings, BOMs, and general arrangement drawings
  • Experience in power systems and control panel layouts, with knowledge of clearance, operation, and maintenance constraints
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills for cross-departmental work
  • Self-starter capable of delivering production-level drawings with limited direction
  • Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Mechanical, structural, electrical, and controls design experience
  • Drilling application power systems experience is a plus

  • Health Savings Account and Dependent Care FSA
  • Supplemental coverage options
