Compressor station upgrades and modifications
Pipeline pump station upgrades and expansions
Meter station additions and facility improvements
Brownfield facility modifications and tie-ins
MCC, VFD, and motor replacement projects
Power distribution upgrades
Electrical and controls equipment replacements
Control panel upgrades and modifications
Facility integrity and reliability improvements
Small capital and maintenance projects within operating facilities
What you will be doing:
Take ownership of assigned electrical and controls design deliverables, progressing work with limited supervision and engaging technical leads when appropriate.
Complete detailed electrical and controls design for oil and gas midstream, pipeline, and industrial facility projects.

Heat trace wattage
Populate, maintain, and validate electrical load lists and cable schedules.
Review existing drawings, field information, and project documentation to identify scope gaps, design constraints, and potential conflicts.
Develop practical and constructible designs that account for existing facility conditions, operational requirements, and brownfield interfaces.
Support field verification and incorporate confirmed site conditions into design deliverables.
Apply digital workflows to prepare, review, communicate, and incorporate design markups and redlines.
Review layouts and drawing packages for scope alignment, technical accuracy, constructability, consistency, and presentation quality.
Maintain design integrity and quality control across assigned deliverables.
Coordinate electrical and controls requirements across instrumentation, process, piping, mechanical, civil, and structural disciplines.
Support 3D model development, model reviews, and multidisciplinary design coordination.
Contribute to design reviews by identifying coordination concerns and recommending practical solutions.
Communicate progress, information requirements, technical risks, and schedule constraints clearly and proactively.
Support projects through design development, construction, commissioning, and field execution.
Manage deliverables across multiple small to mid-sized projects while meeting quality and schedule expectations.
