**Must be a US Citizen or Valid Green Card Holder** **No Third-Party or C2C Firms** Must be live within a drivable distance of Becker, MN for this hybrid, one-year contract. The project involves converting a turbine generator into a synchronous condenser. This process includes updating the control systems from physical control panels to a distributed control system (DCS). Designer II will play a crucial role in this transformation by working on electrical schematics and wiring diagrams. Designer II will be responsible for: Understanding Existing Schematics: Analyzing the current electrical schematics and wiring diagrams. Redrawing Schematics: Converting existing image files of schematics into vector format. Designing New Schematics: Creating new schematics for the updated control systems to ensure they are compatible with the DCS. Execution: Assisting in the design and execution of the project, ensuring all electrical connections and controls are accurately represented and functional. This role requires familiarity with electrical schematics, wiring, and connection diagrams, and the ability to design, draw, and execute the necessary changes for the project. Key Activities: Designer II will start by analyzing and understanding the current electrical schematics and wiring diagrams, which are currently in image file format. Redrawing Schematics: The next step involves converting these image files into vector format. This process requires precision and attention to detail to ensure the new schematics accurately represent the existing designs. Designing New Schematics: After converting the existing schematics, Designer II will design new schematics for the updated control systems. This includes ensuring compatibility with the distributed control system (DCS). Collaboration and Interaction: Designer II will interact regularly with plant and project engineers. Requirements: 5-7 years of previous engineering or electrical experience is preferred. Flexibility for less experience if the candidate has a strong understanding of electrical schematics and design. Technical Skills: AutoCAD and MicroStation: Proficiency in these software tools is essential for redrawing and designing electrical schematics. Electrical Aptitude: Strong understanding of electrical concepts, schematics, wiring diagrams, and connection diagrams. Motor Control Experience: Experience with motor control systems is beneficial. Industrial Background: Experience in industrial settings, particularly with companies like 3M, GE, or other utilities, is valuable. Drafting and Designing Experience: Ability to draft and design electrical schematics, including converting image files into vector format and creating new designs for updated control systems. Control Systems Knowledge: Familiarity with PLC, TCS, or DCS control systems. Experience with any of these systems is acceptable. Overall, the ideal candidate should have a blend of technical skills, industrial experience, and proficiency in drafting and designing electrical schematics using AutoCAD and MicroStation.
