- Deliver discipline specific design and drafting services that meet our client, its customers, and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements
- Work collaboratively with other design disciplines to ensure the integration of the overall design
- Preparation of drawings, models and designs to meet client specifications, project briefs and tenders

- Strong skills in computer software (such as AutoCAD, Revit, or specialised electrical design tools) to create technical drawings that detail the layout, dimensions, and connections of electrical components, systems, and wiring
