- Creates and maintains Electrical Load Lists, Instrument Indexes, Cable Schedules, and other E&I design deliverables.
- Updates electrical and instrumentation drawings to reflect project scope changes, field conditions, and design revisions.
- Models cable trays, conduits, electrical equipment, instrumentation, junction boxes, and other E&I components in 3D.
- Performs electrical and instrumentation routing and layout within existing plant facilities.
- Incorporates vendor drawings and equipment information into electrical and instrumentation designs.
- Participates in 3D model reviews and coordinates E&I design with engineering and other disciplines.
- Supports the development of construction and installation packages.
- Works closely with E&I project leads and engineers to ensure design quality, accuracy, and project schedules are maintained.
- Provides field support to construction during installation activities, plant outages, and turnarounds.
- Assists with resolving field design issues and provides design clarification to construction personnel.
- Ensures design work follows applicable company, client, industry, and plant drafting standards.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
- High school diploma or equivalent required.
