Job Description

Insight Global is seeking an Electrical Designer for a growing industrial switchgear and power-distribution manufacturer. This individual will transform electrical design requirements into complete, buildable, and code-compliant drawing packages for industrial control panels, switchgear, MCCs, Power Distribution Centers, and E-Houses. The ideal candidate is a true designer who can work independently, understand how electrical circuits function, perform conductor and raceway sizing, and create schematics from functional requirements. This is a hands-on opportunity to work closely with engineering and manufacturing while supporting complex power-distribution projects for industrial facilities, substations, and data-center environments.
