This work is accomplished in coordination with other designers, discipline leads, architects, and engineers on the same Jacobs design team.

Using Jacobs design methods and your keen eye for detail, you will help turn the design intent of senior electrical design staff into constructable deliverables, including clash-free 3D models.
