Workplace Type: Remote (Hybrid | Occasional Substation/Field Visits)

Department: Engineering

Reports to: Vice President of Engineering

Employment Status: Exempt / Salaried

OVERVIEW

LND Technical Services is seeking an Electrical Designer to join the Engineering division. In this poisition, you will bridge conceptual engineering and field execution by creating high-precision CAD drawings, single-line diagrams, schematics, and substation layouts for power distribution and industrial projects.

If you thrive in hands-on power systems design, enjoy collaborating with field teams, and want to work on critical energy infrastructure, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and revise detailed electrical power system drawings, including wiring diagrams, single-line diagrams (SLDs), and three-line diagrams using AutoCAD and MicroStation
  • Draft substation layouts, control house panel arrangements, conduit/cable schedules, and grounding plans per ANSI, IEEE, NEC, and NETA standards
  • Translate engineer concepts into clear, constructible, and accurate design packages
  • Assist field crews with design clarifications, as-built updates, and redline revisions during project execution
  • Prepare Bills of Materials (BOMs), drawing submittal packages, and maintain drawing version control across active projects

Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of CAD drafting/design experience focused on power, utility, substation, or industrial electrical systems
  • Associate degree in Drafting/Design, Engineering Technology, or equivalent practical experience
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and MicroStation (Revit or 3D modeling experience is a plus)
  • Strong working knowledge of electrical codes and standards (NEC, NESC, IEEE, NETA)
  • Ability to manage multiple projects, review draw packages for constructability, and communicate effectively with engineers and field technicians

Physical Requirements:

  • Periodic field visits to client substations, construction sites, and industrial facilities
  • Ability to safely navigate job sites (climbing stairs/ladders, walking uneven terrain)
  • Must be comfortable wearing required PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, FR clothing, steel-toe boots)
  • Ability to lift up to 20 lbs (drawing sets, laptops, field equipment)

At LND Technical Services LLC, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment. Join our team and make a difference in the field of electrical services! Apply now to be considered for this exciting opportunity.
