• Develops prefabrication build sheets, riser diagrams, and layouts for lighting control systems, including occupancy sensors, dimming systems, relay panels, and smart lighting devices.
• Coordinates with Procurement to verify material selections, substitutions, and lead times for lighting control components.
• Utilizes LEAN concepts or other continuous improvement methodologies to ensure the most efficient operations, processes, and activities.
• Ensures all prefabrication designs meet company standards, NEC requirements, and field constructability expectations.
• Identifies and develops new prefabrication opportunities that enhance safety, reduce labor hours, or improve installation efficiency.
• Gathers and documents field feedback and lessons learned to drive continuous improvement in prefabrication design quality and constructability.
• Collaborates with VDC to incorporate redlines, as-built updates, and digital coordination models into prefabrication packages.
• Collaborates with other designers to ensure lighting control systems integrate seamlessly with related assemblies such as wall rough and power distribution.
• Prepares material take-offs and supports procurement coordination for all prefabrication assemblies.
• Performs self-checks and participates in peer reviews prior to releasing design packages for production.
• Works with Prefabrication Shop Leads to optimize assembly layouts, build sequencing, and packaging for efficient delivery and installation.
• Attends prefabrication, coordination, and planning meetings to support design intent, sequencing, and field efficiency.
• Maintains organized documentation, version control, and approval tracking for all design deliverables.
• Partners with Quality Coordinators and Lead Designers to align advanced prefabrication packages with company standards.
• Promotes and models the Company mission, vision and values through exercising sound and ethical business practices, championing all elements of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and providing high quality services and programs as they relate to clients, subcontractors, co-workers, suppliers, and the public.
• Reviews construction drawings for NEC compliance, constructability, and alignment with prefabrication standards.
• Partners closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, Foremen, and Prefabrication Shop teams to ensure prefab deliverables align with project goals and schedules.
• Develops detailed prefabrication build sheets, layout drawings, riser diagrams, and assembly diagrams for wall rough, lighting control systems, and standard prefabrication packages and aAdvanced applications such as electrical rooms, conduit rack systems, and equipment assemblies.
• Translates design intent from project documents into detailed, constructible prefabrication packages for lighting controls.

Requirements

• Prior experience supporting prefabrication shops, VDC coordination, or field installation teams.
• Utilizes Bluebeam and Excel to create, revise, and annotate prefabrication documentation; familiarity with AutoCAD or Revit is a plus.
• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deliverables with accuracy and efficiency.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical prefabrication, detailing, or design roles.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Construction Technology, Electrical Design, or related experience.
• Strong understanding of electrical installations, lighting control systems, prefabrication methods, and NEC requirements.
• Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
• Proficiency in Bluebeam and Microsoft Excel; familiarity with Word and Outlook.
• Journeyman Inside Wireman certification or equivalent electrical field experience.
• Experience with AutoCAD, Revit, or other design/BIM software.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, one-line diagrams, specifications, and schematics.

Benefits

• $97,200 – $116,700 annually, based on experience and qualifications.
