Electrical Designer

About the role

The Electrical Design Checker reviews and validates electrical engineering schematics and drawings to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with design requirements. This role focuses on comparing drawings against device lists and project documentation, identifying discrepancies or missing components, marking up corrections, and confirming that all engineering data is correct before final release.

Responsibilities

• Review electrical schematics, control panel drawings, and wiring diagrams to verify accuracy and completeness.
• Compare drawings against device lists, bills of materials (BOMs), and I/O lists to ensure all components are correctly represented.
• Identify missing devices, incorrect part numbers, wiring discrepancies, and documentation errors prior to release.
• Create clear and precise redline markups to communicate required corrections and updates to designers.
• Validate engineering data and design details to confirm compliance with project requirements and standards.
• Return reviewed and marked-up documents to designers and collaborate to resolve issues before final approval.
• Maintain a high level of attention to detail when checking multiple drawings and documentation sets.
• Use electrical design and drafting software to view, navigate, and assess drawings effectively.

Essential Skills

• Proven ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, control panel drawings, and wiring diagrams.
• Hands-on experience reviewing and checking drawings for errors, omissions, accuracy, and completeness.
• Demonstrated experience providing redline corrections and markups on engineering documentation.
• Strong capability to compare schematics against device lists, BOMs, and I/O lists to verify component representation.
• Exceptional attention to detail in identifying missing devices, incorrect part numbers, and wiring discrepancies.
• Practical exposure to electrical design software such as AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar tools, with the ability to effectively review drawings.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Background in electrical design or related engineering disciplines is beneficial.
• Familiarity with control panel layouts and industrial electrical systems is an advantage.
• Ability to collaborate with designers and engineers to resolve issues and improve documentation quality.
• Strong organizational skills to manage multiple drawing sets and documentation reviews.
