Electrical Draftsman

Job Summary: We are seeking a detail-oriented and skilled Electrical Draftsman for our solar projects to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for creating detailed electrical drawings, schematics, and layouts for new and existing projects, working closely with engineers and project managers. The draftsman will use computer-aided design (CAD) software to ensure precise documentation that complies with industry standards, project specifications, and safety regulations. Key Responsibilities: Create and update a variety of electrical drawings, including schematics, single-line diagrams (SLDs), wiring diagrams, and general arrangement (GA) layouts. Develop and modify detailed electrical plans for lighting, power distribution, cable routing, earthing, and fire alarm systems. Collaborate with electrical engineers, architects, and other stakeholders to interpret technical specifications and design requirements. Revise drawings based on red-line markups, engineering changes, and project updates to ensure accurate, up-to-date documentation. Ensure all electrical drawings and layouts adhere to relevant industry standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE) and local electrical codes. Maintain an organized system for project files, including drawing databases, revisions, and document control procedures. Assist in the preparation of Bill of Materials (BOM) by providing accurate component and material counts based on the drawings. Conduct site visits as needed to gather field information, verify design requirements, and ensure accurate "as-built" drawings. Support project teams by providing technical interpretation of electrical drawings and assisting in the resolution of design challenges. Qualifications: Diploma or degree in Electrical Engineering, Drafting, or a related technical field. Proven experience as an Electrical Draftsman or in a similar role within the electrical contracting, construction, or manufacturing industry. High proficiency in CAD software, including AutoCAD, and preferably additional software like Revit or MicroStation. Solid understanding of electrical design principles, symbols, schematics, and industry standards. Experience with BIM (Building Information Modeling) processes is an advantage. Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and project specifications. Skills: Attention to detail: Excellent precision and accuracy in creating technical drawings. Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills for collaboration with engineers and project teams. Technical expertise: Knowledge of electrical systems, power distribution, and relevant codes. Problem-solving: Ability to identify and resolve design discrepancies and issues. Organization: Strong organizational skills to manage and track project documentation efficiently. Time management: Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and meet project deadlines.
