• Develop complete E&I design packages including wiring diagrams, loop sheets, panel layouts, conduit and cable routing, grounding plans, lighting design, instrumentation details, and bill of materials.
• Develop demolition drawings for brownfield projects based on site visits and project scope of work.
• Interpret P&IDs, electrical one-lines, system architecture drawings, vendor packages, and engineered specifications to translate concepts into constructible designs.
• Coordinate and integrate multi-discipline inputs (civil/structural, mechanical, and process) into E&I deliverables.
• Assist engineers with creating instrument index and instrument data sheets.
• Assign instrument installation details based on P&IDs and 3D model.
• Lead and perform drawing checks, quality reviews, and constructability assessments.
• Incorporate vendor documentation, field data, redlines, and engineering markups into final design deliverables.
• Provide technical support to project managers, engineers, and construction teams during installation, commissioning, and startup.
• Participate in site visits, field data collection, design verifications, and troubleshooting activities.
• Support schedule development, man-hour estimates, and project planning for E&I design tasks.
• Perform additional duties as needed to support project execution.
