Discipline Lead - Electrical Engineer
Required Skills
Job Description
**What You'll Be Doing**
========================
**Job Scope:** Lead the electrical and instrumentation discipline by providing supervision and technical direction to engineers and designers and owning total delivery of discipline deliverables and services. This role is accountable for on\-time delivery, performance budget, and quality expectations, and may also serve as a technical specialist for complex engineering assignments. Work requires extensive progressive experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering and consistent use of project controls for cost, schedule, and quality under minimal supervision.
**Primary responsibilities will include but not be limited to:**
* **Leadership \& project controls:** Planning and organizing the work of your team. Communicating the plan to your team, the project leadership team and the client.
* Delegating work to engineers and designers in proportion to their technical skills and experience, then following up for support to ensure efficient progress and quality.
* Consulting with design leaders from other disciplines in proportion to their technical skills and experience, then following up for support to ensure efficient progress and quality.
* Maintaining control of the project by tracking and maintaining discipline performance budget progress, schedule commitments, and quality standards. Understanding and utilizing the project tools that are in place for project control.
* Validating professional service and construction estimates at the beginning of a project, and then tracking changes as the project progresses.
* Producing professional service estimates in accordance with the department standards for project deliverables, project studies and estimates, change notices and for the development of new work through proposal efforts.
* Knowing your scope and deliverables. Initiating timely change notices when deviation is made from your scope, affecting schedule, deliverables or cost of the work.
* **Technical design \& engineering:** Establishing the design criteria, incorporating client requirements, estimate and/or scope basis and design basis meeting applicable state, local and federal standards and codes. Ensuring that any requirements for permitting have been established and communicated to the project team.
* Producing estimate level preliminary designs and material take\-off suitable for the level of estimate being performed on a project.
* Developing conceptual layouts and cost studies as necessary to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks at hand.
* Familiarity with and utilizing department design and drafting standards.
* Producing detail design calculations and sketches for materials of construction associated with the project. Calculations produced will be neatly prepared and organized for efficient checking by others and efficient use by drafters/designers for preparing drawings and as a deliverable when required.
* Producing project designs with efficient use of construction materials with an overall emphasis on ease of construction and completed product meeting the expectations of the client.
* **Quality, deliverables, and vendor/interdiscipline coordination:** Reviewing and approving all electrical deliverables.
* Checking calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and conformance to good engineering practice.
* Producing construction specifications.
* Monitoring drawings in progress to ensure conformance to design calculations and specifications.
* Assisting the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems. Ensuring that sufficient sketches and details are provided for completion of engineering drawings.
* Reviewing and checking vendor drawings and other discipline drawings for electrical/instrumentation input.
* Producing bid packages enabling electrical/instrumentation purchase inquiries to be issued for procurement of materials or subcontract pricing.
* **People development \& worksharing:** Participating in the planning of training programs, continuous education opportunities and professional development of staff.
* Ability to identify and develop work sharing packages for interoffice execution support. Provide leadership to ensure communication and execution of work within scope, schedule and budget.
This position offers a highly competitive compensation package, including paid time off, health insurance benefits, and matching retirement contributions.
**Ideal Background**
**Education:** Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university is required.
**Registration:** Professional Engineering registration is highly preferred.
