Plan, lead, and participate in meetings and reviews with governing agencies to ensure electrical designs comply with applicable codes and regulations.
Organize and manage the electrical team's workload to complete design documents and deliverables on schedule.
Conduct work sessions at project sites in collaboration with the Project Manager and other disciplines to address design and construction issues.
Review electrical drawings and documents to identify and resolve conflicts with architectural, structural, mechanical, and other discipline documents.
Write and edit electrical specifications and assist in the selection of electrical equipment, systems, and devices for building projects.
Coordinate with other disciplines to manage addenda, RFIs, CPRs, and change orders, and ensure agreed-upon changes are accurately incorporated into project documents.
Provide construction contract administration support, including processing submittals and RFIs and helping reduce delays on construction projects.
Perform QA/QC reviews of electrical design work produced by other Electrical Engineers, Electrical Coordinators, and Technicians.
Mentor and provide technical oversight for less-experienced staff on projects such as Federal facilities, laboratories, higher education buildings, data centers, and semiconductor facilities.
Collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and construction inspectors as part of a multidisciplinary team delivering cradle-to-grave project management.
Support re-commissioning activities for existing buildings, ensuring electrical systems function as intended and meet current standards.
Use AutoCAD and other design tools to support electrical design tasks as needed.
Perform other related duties as assigned to support successful project delivery.
