Coordinate with all internal and external disciplines for required electrical power connections

Coordinate monitoring system interfaces for electrical equipment with controls and telecommunications engineers

Understand and be capable of defining key performance criteria of power monitoring systems (EPMS), including specifications, points lists, and typical network hierarchies

Review client standards, design criteria, applicable standards, and best practices in order to understand design requirements and apply them

Understand local and national construction codes and project specifications

Utilize Autodesk Revit to produce detailed design documents

Have experience with the use of Microsoft tools such as Word, Power Point, Excel, and Teams

Meet project deadlines, including working necessary hours to complete major deliverables

Have the ability to travel when required to project sites (approximately 10-20% travel)
