Job Description
Salary: $83,000 - $93,000

RANDALL's Titusville Electrical Division is seekinga top-tier, career-driven Electrical Design Analyst to support the successful estimating, planning, and delivery of large-scale commercial electrical construction projects along the Space Coast of Florida from our office in Titusville.

Position Summary:

The Design Analysis Specialist is responsible for reviewing construction drawings, specifications, design narratives, scopes of work, subcontractor proposals, and quantity takeoffs to identify design conflicts, missing information, quantity discrepancies, constructability concerns, and potential financial exposure before and during construction.

This position serves as the technical link between estimating, project management, field operations, BIM/VDC, engineering, general contractors, design professionals, vendors, and subcontractors. The primary objective is to verify that the written scope, design documents, quantities, labor assumptions, material requirements, and installation methods align before Randall Electrical commits to pricing or construction.

The role is intended to reduce scope gaps, prevent unplanned costs, improve change-order documentation, and provide management with clear technical and financial analysis.

Essential Functions:

Drawing and Specification Review

  • Review electrical, civil,structural, architectural, mechanical, plumbing, fire-protection, and sitedrawings affecting Randall's scope.
  • Compare drawings againstspecifications, addenda, narratives, bid forms, schedules, andsubcontractor proposals.
  • Identify conflicts between planviews, details, one-line diagrams, schedules, sections, and writtenrequirements.
  • Confirm thatissued-for-construction documents contain sufficient information to priceand construct the work.
  • Track revisions between drawingsets and identify resulting scope, quantity, labor, and cost impacts.
  • Maintain a design-analysis logshowing open questions, responsible parties, required responses, andpotential cost exposure.

Quantity and Takeoff Validation

  • Independently verify majorquantities, including:
    • Conduitand duct-bank footage.
    • Trenchfootage, width, depth, and excavation volume.
    • Concreteencasement and flowable-fill quantities.
    • Conductorsand cable lengths.
    • Equipmentcounts.
    • Groundingquantities.
    • Manholes,pull boxes, hand-holes, supports, racks, and accessories.
  • Confirm that materialquantities align with the described installation configuration.
  • Identify mathematicalinconsistencies, duplicated quantities, missing quantities, andunsupported allowances.
  • Develop calculation sheetsshowing the basis for each conclusion.

Constructability Analysis

  • Evaluate whether the proposedinstallation can be constructed as shown.
  • Review access, sequencing,equipment needs, excavation limits, crane and lift requirements, materialhandling, and trade coordination.
  • Identify conflicts involvingelevations, clearances, routing, foundations, underground utilities,structural steel, mechanical systems, and architectural features.
  • Evaluate whether proposedproduction rates are reasonable based on site conditions and installationrequirements.
  • Recommend alternativeinstallation methods, prefabrication opportunities, and value-engineeringoptions.
  • Coordinate with fieldleadership to validate labor and production assumptions.

Scope and Proposal Review

  • Review vendor and subcontractorproposals before award.
  • Confirm that proposalquantities, exclusions, clarifications, and assumptions agree withRandall's contract requirements.
  • Identify gaps between Randall'sscope and subcontracted scope.
  • Prepare scope-comparison sheetsand bid-leveling documents.
  • Recommend clarifications andexclusions needed to protect Randall.
  • Verify responsibility forfurnishing, installing, testing, surveying, inspecting, repairing,relocating, hauling, disposal, and restoration.

  • Include drawing references,specification references, calculations, photographs, sketches, andrecommended solutions.
  • Maintain a log of RFIsaffecting cost, schedule, procurement, or field production.
  • Review design-team responses todetermine whether they constitute clarification, revision, or compensated scope change.
  • Notify project management whenan RFI response changes the contractual scope.

Change Management and Cost Support

  • Prepare technical backup forpotential change orders and requests for equitable adjustment.
  • Identify design changes,quantity growth, differing site conditions, access restrictions,out-of-sequence work, and directed acceleration.
  • Compare original bidassumptions against revised requirements.
  • Assist estimators and projectmanagers with labor, material, equipment, and schedule-impactcalculations.
  • Maintain contemporaneousrecords supporting entitlement and cost recovery.
  • Help distinguish betweenbase-contract work, coordination work, rework, and additional work.

Engineering and BIM/VDC Coordination

  • Coordinate design questionswith Randall's BIM/VDC, estimating, engineering, and field teams.
  • Review coordinated models andshop drawings for compliance with contract documents.
  • Confirm that modeled routes andelevations align with field conditions and project requirements.
