This role requires a high level of technical proficiency in electrical drafting, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and multidisciplinary coordination, along with the ability to support both office-based design activities and on-site project execution.
Job Description:
- Develop detailed electrical wiring diagrams, layouts, and schematics using AutoCAD in accordance with project specifications and applicable codes.
- Prepare electrical design documentation, including power distribution layouts, lighting systems, conduit routing, and panel schedules.
- Ensure all drawings and designs are accurate, coordinated, and compliant with relevant standards and regulations.
- Conduct comprehensive site surveys to assess existing conditions, identify constraints, and gather inputs for design development.
- Coordinate with site teams, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure proper execution of electrical systems.
- Provide technical support during installation, construction, and commissioning phases.
- Design and coordinate electrical systems for both Front of House (FOH) and Back of House (BOH) areas, ensuring functionality, safety, and operational efficiency.
- Develop and manage electrical BIM models across Levels of Development (LOD 100 to LOD 450).
- Support design development, multidisciplinary coordination, and construction documentation using BIM workflows.
- Perform clash detection and resolution using tools such as Revit and Navisworks.
- Prepare coordinated shop drawings, installation drawings, and fabrication-level documentation from BIM models.
- Maintain and manage project documentation, including shop drawings, installation drawings, as-built drawings, and handover deliverables.
- Ensure completeness and accuracy of all documentation during project closeout in line with client and regulatory requirements.
- Coordinate with mechanical, plumbing, architectural, and structural teams to ensure integrated system design.
- Participate in coordination meetings and contribute to resolving interdisciplinary design conflicts.
