Converting Machine Jobs in Birmingham, AL (NOW HIRING)

Description

BLOX is creating the tools to convert a resistant Architecture Engineering and Construction Industry into a smart and efficient machine. For those motivated to play a part in that change, this is an exciting time at BLOX. In short, BLOX takes the most complicated parts of a hospital - headwalls, surgery ceilings, MEP racks, Central Energy Plants, exam rooms, bathrooms, etc. - designs them so that they can be removed from conventional construction, manufactures them as modules, transports and inserts them into the construction process to yield higher quality buildings that open significantly faster than those conventionally constructed. BLOX is both service and product that includes architecture, engineering, manufacturing, logistics and construction.

BLOX is looking for a talented, energetic Electrical Engineer to boost the Mechanical Electrical plumbing (MEP) team. This team is delivering a host of new buildings in multiple states for major healthcare clients. These buildings are designed, manufactured in sophisticated modular components and assembled on site for higher speed to market and superior quality at lower cost, with modern design aesthetics.

As an Electrical Engineer, you will work with the MEP team in a dynamic, rapid-growth work environment with a group of bright, talented engineers, architects, designers, builders, craftsmen and manufacturers. You will be challenged to develop your skills in a new field, taking a lead role in project delivery via the DMC methodology.

Responsibilities and tasks include:

Design facility Electrical systems to meet client's requirements in projects.

Perform facility Electrical distribution system and equipment design for a wide range of projects, and collaborate with team engineers, architects, and detailers as needed to model elements into a cohesive facility model.

Perform calculations, studies, and analysis of Electrical systems and equipment to create design solutions. Specific forms of analysis include power distribution system load, circuit and element sizing, overcurrent protective device selective coordination, and illumination.

Layout of communications and alarm systems (e.g. fire alarm) and design of system single-line diagrams.

Support production of projects including manufacturing design, computer modeling, and detailing of manufacturing and construction work scopes.

Generate and maintain models used to create project permitting documents, manufacturing drawings and field shop drawings.

Perform quality checks on their own work and participate in project-wide quality reviews of the design and drawings. Produce design in compliance with national and local codes and regulations.

Collaborate with installers in manufacturing and construction to improve quality, flow and efficiency of implementation of the design. 

Collaborate with suppliers and vendors in developing specifications of the design and selection of equipment used in the facility systems.
