  • Work closely with architects, engineers, and other in-house departments to deliver cohesive, multi-disciplinary project packages.
  • Perform electrical system calculations (e.g., short-circuit, arc flash, overcurrent coordination, and voltage drop) using industry-standard software.
  • Review contractor submittals, respond to RFIs, and conduct occasional site visits to observe construction progress and ensure compliance with design documents.
  • Collaborate in a team environment as well as self-manage and self-motivate to meet project task deadlines and commitments within your projects’ budgets and schedules.
  • Use good written and verbal communication skills coupled with strong organizational skills to complete projects.
  • Attend and actively participate in project team meetings.
