Job Description

**Must be a US Citizen or Valid Green Card Holder**

**No Third-Party or C2C Firms**

Must be live within a drivable distance of Becker, MN for this hybrid, one-year contract.

The project involves converting a turbine generator into a synchronous condenser. This process includes updating the control systems from physical control panels to a distributed control system (DCS).

Designer II will play a crucial role in this transformation by working on electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.

Designer II will be responsible for:

• Understanding Existing Schematics: Analyzing the current electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Redrawing Schematics: Converting existing image files of schematics into vector format.
• Designing New Schematics: Creating new schematics for the updated control systems to ensure they are compatible with the DCS.
• Execution: Assisting in the design and execution of the project, ensuring all electrical connections and controls are accurately represented and functional.
• This role requires familiarity with electrical schematics, wiring, and connection diagrams, and the ability to design, draw, and execute the necessary changes for the project.

Key Activities:

Designer II will start by analyzing and understanding the current electrical schematics and wiring diagrams, which are currently in image file format.

• Redrawing Schematics: The next step involves converting these image files into vector format. This process requires precision and attention to detail to ensure the new schematics accurately represent the existing designs.
• Designing New Schematics: After converting the existing schematics, Designer II will design new schematics for the updated control systems. This includes ensuring compatibility with the distributed control system (DCS).
• Collaboration and Interaction: Designer II will interact regularly with plant and project engineers.

Requirements:

• 5-7 years of previous engineering or electrical experience is preferred. Flexibility for less experience if the candidate has a strong understanding of electrical schematics and design.
• Technical Skills: AutoCAD and MicroStation: Proficiency in these software tools is essential for redrawing and designing electrical schematics.
• Electrical Aptitude: Strong understanding of electrical concepts, schematics, wiring diagrams, and connection diagrams.
• Motor Control Experience: Experience with motor control systems is beneficial.
• Industrial Background: Experience in industrial settings, particularly with companies like 3M, GE, or other utilities, is valuable.
• Drafting and Designing Experience: Ability to draft and design electrical schematics, including converting image files into vector format and creating new designs for updated control systems.
• Control Systems Knowledge: Familiarity with PLC, TCS, or DCS control systems.
• Experience with any of these systems is acceptable. Overall, the ideal candidate should have a blend of technical skills, industrial experience, and proficiency in drafting and designing electrical schematics using AutoCAD and MicroStation.
