Job Overview by Ladders

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in electrical or controls package detailing for fabrication or modular assemblies.
  • Proficiency in electrical CAD platforms (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN) as primary tools for daily tasks.
  • Demonstrated ability to create accurate wiring diagrams and cable schedules that require minimal clarification from shop personnel.
  • Experience in managing and updating content to ensure reference libraries and templates are current and effective.
  • Strong understanding of installation requirements such as bend radii, terminations, and clearances relevant to field electricians.
  • Ability to navigate and manage revisions efficiently to prevent confusion over outdated information.
  • Bonus expertise in plant and BIM modeling including Revit or Plant 3D, along with knowledge of panel and wiring diagram standards.

Responsibilities

  • Produce detailed electrical and controls drawings for manufacturing that leave no ambiguity for interpretation.
  • Create installation-ready layouts for conduit, cable tray runs, panel configurations, and BOM-linked parts.
  • Rapidly process engineering changes into updated drawings for prompt release and ensure clarity on revisions to avoid stale documents.
  • Establish and maintain high standards for drawing models, including symbol libraries and template efficiency.
  • Resolve drawing issues at their source by addressing the underlying templates or standards, rather than merely fixing the resultant documents.
  • Communicate complex details clearly in drawings to support shop operations, ensuring minimal need for clarification from electricians.
  • Optimize the accuracy and speed of future detailing work by maintaining rigorous library discipline in design.

Benefits

  • Commitment to pay equity and transparency in compensation practices.
Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Produce the detailed electrical and controls models and drawings the factory builds from: panels, raceway, cable schedules, and terminations fully detailed, no gaps left to field interpretation.
  • Detail to installation level: conduit and cable tray runs, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and BOM-linked parts accurate enough that the shop orders and builds straight from the package.
  • Turn engineering changes into updated, released packages in days, with revisions tracked cleanly so no one builds from a stale sheet.
  • Own the model's cleanliness: build and maintain the standards, symbol libraries, and templates that make the next unit faster to detail than the last.
  • Close out drawing issues at the source, fixing the template or standard that caused the question, not just the sheet.
What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've detailed electrical or controls packages for fabrication or modular assemblies, in a panel shop, UL 508A builder, or industrial automation integrator.
  • You live in an electrical CAD platform; wiring diagrams and cable schedules are your daily output, not an occasional task.
  • Shops and electricians build from your drawings without calling. When they do call, you change the template or standard so that category of call never happens again.
  • You model to standards and maintain library discipline: you build and curate symbol libraries and templates instead of just consuming them.
  • You handle revision storms without version chaos; the released package is always the one being built.
  • You know how things get installed: bend radii, terminations, and the clearances real electricians need, and your drawings reflect it.
  • Bonus: AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN, plant and BIM modeling (Revit, Plant 3D), panel and wiring diagram standards, and BIM coordination experience.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
