Uses computer-assisted engineering and design software and equipment to prepare engineering and design documents (AutoCAD, Revit, etc.).
Modifies reports, specifications, plans, construction schedules, environmental impact studies and designs for project.
Makes calculations using engineering formulas and skills for design such as lighting calculations, power distribution calculations, equipment sizing, etc.
Creates specialized drawings such as electrical riser diagrams.
Selects equipment based on recommendations of Project Designer/Engineer and fills out equipment schedules.
Provides drawing for own designs and produces sketches to incorporate in drawings by drafters.
Researches design options and document findings for Project Designer/Engineer.
Keeps Project Manager informed of work load and any changes in project scope or additional services. Provides information to Project Manager for incorporation into specifications.
