Incorporate vendor drawings and equipment specifications into project designs to ensure compatibility and compliance.
Perform drawing revisions, design updates, and construction-related changes in a timely and accurate manner.
Ensure all designs follow applicable utility standards, engineering practices, and specific project requirements.
Partner with other drafters, designers, and engineers to deliver high-quality designs across multiple projects simultaneously.
Support protection and control (P&C) design coordination as it relates to physical substation layouts and one-line diagrams.
