Your Impact
- Support the review of P&IDs and project markups, helping translate them into accurate electrical drawings and specifications.

- Apply established engineering and construction standards under guidance from senior designers/engineers.
- Help mark up vendor package/skid drawings to align with project requirements and discipline coordination needs.
- Contribute practical wiring and installation details to support constructability and field execution.
- Participate in coordination with mechanical, process, civil, structural, and other teams to keep deliverables aligned.

- 0–3 years of electrical drafting/design experience (including co‑op, internship, or entry‑level consulting/EPC exposure).

- Comfort working in a fast‑paced, multidisciplinary environment with attention to detail and a willingness to learn.
