Rigorous QA/QC: Act as the technical authority for all engineering deliverables (drawings, single line diagrams, voltage drop calculations, photometric files, and tender cost estimates) to verify accuracy, completeness, and safety compliance
Contribute to the ongoing development of Planview USL’s design standards and methodologies to further develop Electrical and Traffic design and operational efficiencies.
Work directly with Jr Engineers, EIT’s, Project Coordinators and other support staff, foster growth of knowledge within Utility Design, ensuring package issuance meets CSA, Ont Reg 22.04, ESA and other applicable federal, local and client driven codes and specifications.
