What are Senior Panel Designers?

Senior Panel Designers are experienced professionals who design, develop, and oversee the creation of electrical control panels used in various industrial and commercial applications. They are responsible for creating detailed panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and ensuring that the designs comply with industry standards and client specifications. Senior Panel Designers often collaborate with engineers, project managers, and manufacturing teams to deliver efficient and safe control systems. Their expertise is crucial in ensuring the reliability and functionality of automated processes.

What are some common challenges a Senior Panel Designer faces in coordinating with cross-functional teams during a project?

Senior Panel Designers often work closely with engineers, project managers, and production teams to ensure panel layouts meet technical requirements and industry standards. A common challenge is balancing differing priorities, such as design specifications versus manufacturing capabilities or project timelines. Effective communication, early involvement in project planning, and a proactive approach to problem-solving are essential for navigating these challenges and delivering successful outcomes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Senior Panel Designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior Panel Designer, you need strong expertise in electrical engineering principles, panel design standards, and experience with schematic and layout creation, often supported by a relevant engineering degree or technical certification. Proficiency with CAD software such as AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN, as well as familiarity with industry codes and PLC integration, is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication with multidisciplinary teams distinguish top performers in this role. These skills are crucial to ensure accurate, safe, and efficient panel designs that meet client specifications and regulatory requirements.

At Dorsett Controls, we are dedicated to delighting our customers, creating innovative experiences, and pursuing excellence. Our team is focused on delivering outstanding results, and we are seeking motivated individuals to join us in shaping the future of the control systems industry.
What We Need
Dorsett Controls is seeking an experienced, UL 508A certified Senior Control Panel Builder to join our automation team. In this role, you will lead the building, wiring, and testing of industrial control panels in accordance with UL 508A, NFPA, and company standards, while overseeing the technical work of junior Control Panel Technicians.

  • Ensure all panels meet UL 508A, NFPA 79, and relevant NEC/NFPA 70 requirements, as well as internal quality standards.
  • Perform point-to-point wiring, labeling, and verification of all components and terminations, and conduct continuity and low-voltage testing.
  • Assemble and wire more complex panels using provided drawings and schematics with minimal supervision.
  • Collaborate with electrical engineers and designers to resolve design questions, suggest improvements, and support standardization of designs.
  • Oversee and mentor junior Control Panel Technicians, reviewing their work, identifying errors, and demonstrating best practices for wiring, layout, and documentation.
  • Maintain the UL 508A panel shop file, build documentation, and inspection records as required for audits.
  • Maintain a clean, well-organized workspace and inform your supervisor when inventory items are running low.
  • Prepare completed panels for shipment and operate a forklift as needed.
  • Support continuous improvement efforts in the panel shop, including 5S practices, safety initiatives, and process improvements.
What You Bring
  • UL 508A certification (or equivalent verifiable UL 508A training/credential) and hands-on experience working in a UL 508A panel shop (Required).
  • Valid driver's license.
  • 5+ years of experience building and wiring industrial control panels in a manufacturing or systems-integration environment.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, panel layout drawings, and wiring diagrams.
  • Solid understanding of industrial control components (breakers, contactors, relays, VFDs, PLCs, power supplies, terminal blocks, etc.).
  • Working knowledge of NFPA 79 and NEC/NFPA 70 as they apply to control panels.
  • High attention to detail and commitment to producing neat, well-organized, and clearly labeled panels.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills; comfortable giving and receiving feedback and helping others learn.
  • Ability to meet deadlines under pressure.
What Sets You Apart
  • Experience mentoring or training junior panel builders or technicians.
  • Familiarity with panel shop quality systems, 5S practices, or continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Experience working in water/wastewater, manufacturing, or energy sectors.
  • Comfort partnering directly with engineering teams on design feedback and standardization.
What We Offer
  • Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, EAP, FSA, HSA, LTD/STD insurance, and wellness benefits.
  • Career development: Opportunities for advancement and education reimbursement.
  • Flexible work schedule: We offer on-site, remote, and hybrid options, based on role and organizational needs.
