• Apply Goshen drawing standards and applicable electrical requirements, including UL891, UL508A, NFPA 70, and other applicable NEC/NFPA requirements as appropriate to assigned work.
• Support multiple projects and responsibilities at the same time while maintaining accurate files, project documentation, revisions, and design deliverables.
• Collaborate across Engineering Design, Electrical Engineering, Automation, Production, Quality, Materials, Field Service, and other functions to resolve technical and project issues.
• At higher levels, independently complete complex drawing packages, make design recommendations, review work prepared by others, and support technical decisions and project execution.
• At higher levels, improve electrical design practices, drawing libraries, documentation, and standardization.
• Assist in training and developing less-experienced engineers, designers, and other team members as appropriate to the level of the position.
