Electrical Design Consultant at Carbon Direct who led industrial energy design packages and cut returned drawing comments by 28%.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Carbon Direct, I led electrical design packages for decarbonization and energy-transition projects at industrial and utility client sites, taking physical layouts from survey information through issued-for-construction documentation. I coordinated equipment arrangements, cable tray routes, grounding, lighting, and installation details using AutoCAD, MicroStation, and point clouds.
I reviewed drawings and cable schedules for code alignment, constructability, and interface consistency, reducing returned drawing comments by 28% through structured QC checklists. I also managed a distributed drafting team of four designers and coordinated priorities across concurrent client workstreams.
At Meta, I developed electrical design documentation for data center and critical-facility expansion projects. I converted laser scans, point clouds, and field notes into coordinated AutoCAD and Revit layouts, and built cable schedules and tray-routing studies that cut late routing changes by 22% across a major expansion package.
Earlier, at GE Vernova, I designed installation drawings for power-generation and utility equipment, and at Aptiv I created electrical and physical layout documentation for automotive wiring systems. Across these roles, I worked from engineering inputs, vendor data, and field conditions to produce and review coordinated design documents against applicable codes and project standards.
