Job Description:
- We are looking for candidates who are using AutoCAD Electrical (ACADE) with SDS (Substation Design Suite) in the substation industry.
- Ideally these candidates have been using the software for 3-5 years and can support some of the drafting/design independently. We would also be interested in candidates who know only ACADE but have been working in the substation industry. We have been seeing a handful of candidates who only know ACADE and not the SDS portion. Our team is willing to teach the SDS skillset, but candidates need to have the substation industry experience.
- This opportunity with client offers the chance to collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams within the Distributed Infrastructure Market Sector, supporting Substation (Grid) projects and building critical infrastructure for today's and tomorrow's challenges. Electrical professionals contribute to power systems design by drafting deliverables such as one-line diagrams, AC/DC schematics, wiring diagrams, front panel layouts, other details for substation projects.
- The Virtual Design & Data Solutions (VDDS) Staff Electrical Engineering Technician plays a key role in supporting the development of high-quality engineering 2D/3D deliverables for these complex infrastructure projects.
- Under general supervision, this position performs technical tasks requiring general knowledge of electrical engineering principles and practices, with a focus on creating and modifying electrical design drawings using advanced techniques in industry standard design tools, such as Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical with Substation Design Suite (SDS) and other CAD tools.
