Principal CAD Technician - OHL

Responsibilities:

• Create detailed engineering drawings for overhead line routing layout, wire clearance diagrams, scaffold clearance check drawings, downlead arrangement for towers, georeferenced layout, and set drawings.
• Create detailed engineering profile drawings for overhead line routing. PLS-CADD and PLS-TOWER knowledge is an added advantage.
• Preparation of GA drawing for transmission line towers.
• Detailing of towers such as BOQ preparation, SLD, and material take-off quantities.
• Review tower general arrangement drawings and outline diagrams.
• Create detailed engineering drawings for Extra High Voltage (EHV) projects, covering both Air Insulated Substations (AIS) and Gas Insulated Substations (GIS), ranging from 11kV up to 400kV. Engineering design is an added advantage.
• Facilitate coordination of design activities across various departments, including Civil/Structural, Networks, and the primary engineering team. Conduct design reviews, participate in virtual meetings, and collaborate closely with clients.
• Assist with preparing drawings and revising existing engineering drawings of basic components from specific sketches or layouts.
• Manage OHL team members and provide guidance to junior team members.
• Be responsible for adhering to company and client drafting standards and procedures.
• Be responsible for adhering to the drafting practices of the selected discipline.
• Assist in drafting design and documentation for various projects.
• Coordinate with team members and monitor project schedules, ensuring submissions meet high-quality standards.
• Maintain compliance with CDM Regulations and all other legal and regulatory requirements associated with the nature of substation and electrical system design.
• Collaborate with the UK office on design activities.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to less experienced team members.
• Develop and enhance processes, tools, and potentially implement new technologies into the design process.
• Conduct periodic quality checks for other engineers and designers.
• Exhibit ingenuity, foresight, and wise decision-making skills in proactively identifying and resolving challenges.
• Contribute to the progress and growth of departmental tools and workflows aimed at improving the effectiveness of design processes, specification development, and project implementation.
• Engage in training sessions and meetings dedicated to addressing targeted organizational initiatives.
