Designer III - Energy

Duties, Responsibilities & Other

The Designer III (DT III) position is the third level in the Designer career track at KCI Technologies, Inc. This track is tasked with providing designs for utility systems including overhead and underground circuits for joint use, lighting, and commercial, industrial, and residential development, as well as gas and generation systems. This role involves handling moderately complex design projects and providing support to others for more complex projects with more independence than the DT II. The DT III will have interactions with clients/customers and construction crews to progress their projects. This position primarily involves working in an office environment, with an expectation of significant field work, which may include exposure to inclement weather conditions such as extreme heat/cold, high humidity, rain, snow, and icy conditions.

• Independently performing field data collection and project-specific inspections for moderately complex projects, accurately and efficiently.
• Producing high-quality computer-aided design drawings and a list of materials needed for the construction of simple projects and providing support required by supervision for more complex tasks.
• Ensuring all necessary communications are documented on projects designed as required by training.
• Providing guidance and training to peers and newer designers for simple projects.
• Producing permitting documentation, as needed, independently.
• Demonstrating the ability to communicate with clients and participating in site meetings with oversight.
