• Analyze customer specifications, datasheets, and project requirements for LV MCCs and associated electrical equipment.
• Interpret single‑line diagrams, wiring schematics, load lists, and control architecture to validate scope accuracy.
• Identify discrepancies, ambiguous requirements, or conflicts between project documents (e.g., specs vs. drawings vs. standards).
• Prepare and document technical clarifications, exceptions, and deviations for internal teams or customer communication.
• Ensure proposed solutions comply with relevant standards (UL 845, UL 508A, NEC, IEC).

• Develop or update basic engineering documents including control schematics, panel layouts, and bill of materials for small engineering tasks.
• Support custom or customer‑specific engineering changes as needed during project life cycles.
• Provide technical guidance to internal stakeholders (project managers, proposal teams, production engineering).
• Assist with reviewing vendor documents or coordination drawings when required.

• Collaborate with Sales, Project Management, and Engineering teams to ensure alignment between proposal commitments and engineering deliverables.
• Communicate clearly and effectively with customers regarding technical issues, proposed exceptions, or recommended alternative solutions.
• Participate in technical meetings, internal design reviews, and customer clarification sessions.

• Verify that contract documents align with company manufacturing capabilities, engineering standards, and quality guidelines.
• Support continuous improvement by documenting recurring issues, specification trends, and risk areas.
• Ensure deliverables meet internal quality standards before release.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline, or equivalent technical experience.
• Experience with Low Voltage MCCs, motor control components, or industrial electrical assemblies.
• Strong ability to read and interpret electrical drawings and control schematics.
• Familiarity with key industry codes and standards (UL, NEC, NEMA, IEC).
• Excellent analytical skills with attention to detail.
• Strong communication and documentation abilities.

• Experience in contract or specification review for engineered‑to‑order (ETO) products.
• Background in power distribution, industrial automation, or panel board/switch gear systems.
