Project Coordination & Documentation
  • Collaborate with engineers, project managers, construction teams, and utility representatives to ensure design scope and deliverables align with project requirements.
  • Assist with permitting, rights-of-way, easements, and other project documentation as required.
  • Maintain accurate project records and ensure design information is properly documented and uploaded to client and utility systems.
  • Maintain the quality, accuracy, and integrity of CAD, GIS, field, and project data.
  • Support project schedules and deadlines while maintaining a high level of design quality.
  • Participate in design reviews and incorporate comments and revisions as needed.

Safety & Quality
  • Ensure all designs comply with applicable NESC, utility, regulatory, and client standards.
  • Follow all company and client safety requirements during field and design activities.
  • Work safely around electric utility infrastructure and construction environments.
  • Maintain quality control throughout the design and documentation process.
  • Support emergency and storm-related activities when required by client expectations.
