• Prepare and revise electrical site plans equipment layouts one-line diagrams wiring diagrams grounding plans underground conduit and cable plans and installation details.
• Develop medium-voltage collector system layouts including equipment locations underground cable routing trenching conduit requirements and overhead medium-voltage collection and interconnection lines.
• Develop overhead medium-voltage line layouts including pole locations conductor routing line crossings equipment locations and transitions between overhead and underground systems.
• Prepare plans profiles details material schedules and other design documentation for overhead and underground medium-voltage systems.
• Develop BESS equipment layouts and electrical interconnections including batteries inverters/power conversion systems (PCS) transformers switchgear and other balance-of-system equipment.
• Develop PV electrical layouts including inverter locations medium-voltage equipment DC collection systems and AC collection systems.
• Prepare equipment schedules cable schedules bills of materials construction details and other project deliverables.
• Coordinate electrical drawings with civil structural substation SCADA and other project disciplines.
• Coordinate overhead medium-voltage designs with civil/site layouts access roads utilities environmental constraints and other project infrastructure.
• Incorporate engineering calculations equipment vendor information client standards markups sketches and engineering direction into design documents.
• Assist with development of issued-for-construction drawing packages.
• Review drawings for accuracy consistency constructability and compliance with project standards.
• Work independently on design assignments while coordinating closely with the project engineer and project manager.
• Assist with CADD standards drawing organization and mentoring less-experienced designers and CADD users.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Associate degree or technical certificate in computer-aided drafting/design engineering technology or a related field or equivalent relevant experience.
• Minimum of five years of electrical drafting/design experience preferably involving utility-scale solar BESS power generation substations or other power-delivery projects.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and experience developing multi-sheet electrical construction drawing packages.
• Working knowledge of electrical equipment conduit and cable routing grounding and medium-voltage electrical systems.
• Ability to interpret electrical one-line diagrams engineering markups equipment drawings and vendor documentation.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple design assignments and work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary project team.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience designing utility-scale solar PV and/or BESS facilities.
• Experience with 34.5 kV or similar medium-voltage collector systems.
• Experience with overhead medium-voltage distribution or collector systems including pole layouts conductor routing line crossings and overhead-to-underground transitions.
• Familiarity with overhead line design considerations including clearances pole loading guying conductor selection and utility design standards.
• Experience developing IFC-level renewable energy drawing packages.
• Familiarity with PV inverters BESS PCS equipment medium-voltage transformers switchgear collection systems and equipment vendor drawings.
• Experience coordinating electrical designs with civil/site design and substation/interconnection design.
• AutoCAD Civil 3D MicroStation or other relevant design software experience is a plus.
