I&C Designer

JOB SUMMARY

100% remote anywhere in United States

This is a mid-level control systems and instrumentation designer position. The position requires strong technical ability to both perform design tasks, ability to work independently with moderate guidance, and strong communication skills in written, spoken, and personal formats. Our designers must be capable of producing complete construction drawing packages, coordinating with or working under our engineers. They must also coordinate with designers and engineers from other disciplines, provide complete packages in proper formats for our project assistants, and coordinate with document control for proper checkout/check-in procedures. Our mid-level designers span the range of just starting to lead their own small design projects under the guidance of our Work Group Leaders (WGL), to being capable of leading medium size projects with a small team. Strong knowledge and ability to produce all the foundational pieces of controls and instrumentation design packages is essential.
