Description
conceptual design
cost estimating
drawing review
material takeoff
field support
installation details
Developing conceptual layouts and cost studies as necessary to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks at hand.
Reviewing and checking vendor drawings and other discipline drawings for electrical/instrumentation input.
Assisting other engineers in developing and assembling scopes, drawings and specifications into a “package”, enabling electrical/instrumentation purchase inquiries to be issued for procurement of materials or subcontract pricing.
Checking calculations and deliverables made by others to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and conformance to good engineering practice.
Producing estimate level preliminary designs and material take-offs suitable for the level of the estimate being performed on a project.
Producing designs with efficient use of construction materials with an overall emphasis on ease of construction and completed product meeting the expectations of the client.
Reviewing fabrication drawings and other construction submittals for conformance to engineering drawings and specifications.
Recognize and communicate scope and design changes promptly.
Advising the senior engineer concerning design or scope changes, which have been identified.
Consulting with design leaders from other disciplines to ensure the smooth flow of vital information necessary for the scheduled completion of the project.
Assisting the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems. It is your responsibility to furnish sufficient sketches and details necessary for completion of engineering drawings.
Developing construction specifications.
Performing fieldwork necessary to gather field data, check tie-ins and provide construction support.
Produce installation details, motor control center single lines, electric room layouts, motor control elementaries, connection diagrams, cable schedules, control panel layouts and grounding, lighting, power and instrumentation plans under general supervision.
Applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs.
Developing small work sharing packages for interoffice execution support
Provide technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel in the department.
Producing detail design calculations and sketches for materials of construction associated with the project. Calculations produced will be neatly prepared and organized for efficient checking by others and efficient use by drafters/designers for preparing drawings and as a deliverable when required.
