Production & Manufacturing Integration

• Support the design and development of modular electric room skid solutions
• Partner with manufacturing teams to clarify design intent and resolve drawing-related questions in real time
• Provide timely updates and revisions to support efficient production workflows
• Participate in design reviews with engineering, project management, and production teams
• Ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability, assembly, and field installation

Continuous Improvement & Standardization

• Collect and incorporate feedback from production and field teams to improve design efficiency and constructability
• Drive continuous improvement of skid designs through lessons learned and design optimization
• Support development of standardized templates, component libraries, and repeatable configurations
• Implement and refine best practices to improve quality, consistency, and cycle time

Project & Stakeholder Support

• Provide design and BIM support to operations, project management, estimating, and field teams
• Coordinate with procurement and vendors to ensure equipment and design alignment
• Interface with clients, consultants, and partners to resolve technical challenges
• Communicate design changes clearly and proactively across all stakeholders

Leadership & Development

• Mentor and support Virtual Design team members
• Contribute to the development of innovative workflows and design best practices
• Maintain and expand technical knowledge of electrical systems, codes, and construction methods
