Computer-Aided Design and Drafting: Create and draft all engineering products and deliverables using CAD software, specifically for substation projects.
Collaboration: Work closely with engineers and other drafters to identify and correct discrepancies in drawings and designs related to substations.
Drafting Tasks: Produce various types of drawings specific to substations, including:
General Arrangements of substation layouts
Plan Views and Elevation Views of substation structures
Grounding Plans and Details for substation grounding systems
Foundation Plans and Details for substation equipment
Cable Trough/Conduit Plans and Details for cable management
Foundation Layout Plans for substation components
Import tables and calculations (e.g., BOMs) and create notes for each drawing.
Steel Structure Fabrication Drawings (preferred) for substation structures
Concrete Foundation Detail Drawings (preferred) for substation equipment
Oil Containment Detail Drawings (preferred) for transformers and other equipment
Metal Grate Platforms Detail Drawings (preferred) for access and safety
Fire Wall Detail Drawings (preferred) for fire protection in substations
Self-Checking: Review and verify all work for accuracy before submission to the supervisor or designated reviewer.
Project Management: Understand and meet project schedules and quality requirements specific to substation projects.
Efficiency: Complete drawings accurately and efficiently, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Detail Orientation: Maintain a high level of detail and quality in all work related to substation design.
Multi-Project Handling: Manage multiple substation projects simultaneously and adapt to changes in work assignments as needed.
Project Delivery Support: Assist in the overall delivery of substation projects, including communication via phone or email, attending meetings, and preparing necessary project documents.
