Electrical penetrations and associated details.

Electrical supports and installation details.

Electrical equipment and component placement.

Electrical production drawings.

Electrical schematics and wiring information.

Design changes and revisions.

Drawing references and interface coordination.

Engineering-to-production design development.

Identification and resolution of design discrepancies.

Constructability reviews.

Production-impact reviews.

The candidate shall be capable of understanding the relationship between engineering requirements and the final production design and shall be able to identify issues that may not be apparent from a simple drawing or drafting review.

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS

10+ years of electrical design/engineering experience.

7+ years of direct marine or shipyard electrical production-design experience.

Previous experience as a Senior Designer, Technical Checker, Lead Designer, Design Lead, or equivalent.

Experience with shipboard electrical equipment arrangements.

Experience with electrical penetrations and supports.

Experience reviewing designs for production and constructability.

Experience mentoring or technically directing designers.

Experience working in a high-volume production-design environment.

Experience supporting multiple vessels or units concurrently.

TECHNICAL CHECKING RESPONSIBILITIES

The Technical Checker shall independently review assigned deliverables and verify that they are suitable for production release.

Responsibilities shall include, but are not limited to:

Drawing and Design Review

Verify technical accuracy and completeness of electrical production drawings.

Verify dimensions, locations, tags, references, notes, symbols, and applicable design information.

Verify consistency between drawings, models, engineering information, and associated documentation.

Identify missing, conflicting, or incomplete design information.

Verify that design changes have been properly incorporated.

Review revisions for accuracy and completeness.

Production and Constructability Review

Evaluate whether designs can reasonably be constructed and installed aboard the vessel.

Identify potential installation conflicts before the design reaches production.

Identify access, routing, clearance, support, penetration, and equipment-location concerns.

Evaluate interfaces between electrical systems and other ship disciplines.

Identify conditions that could result in production rework, delays, or field changes.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE & TRAINING: Minimum of ten years' experience in technical field. Minimum of three years' experience in new ship design.
