Role Description The Lead Wiring Diagram Designer runs BPP's wiring design group. You oversee a team of Wiring Designers and make sure every point-to-point diagram, panel layout, and schematic support drawing goes out accurate, complete, and on schedule. You report to the Head of Electrical Design and act as the bridge between EE leadership and the wiring design team. This is a working lead seat. You carry your own drawing load on the hardest and highest-priority jobs, and on top of that you keep the team's output consistent, catch problems before they ship, and build the standards and training that bring designers up to speed. Key Responsibilities - Produce accurate, complete point-to-point wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and schematic support drawings in AutoCAD using BPP tool palettes, custom blocks, and title block standards. - Assign and balance drawing work across the team based on project priority, due dates, and each designer's capacity. - Keep the Head of EE Design informed on workload, bottlenecks, and at-risk deliverables. - Review the team's point-to-point diagrams and panel layouts for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with BPP standards before release. - Track recurring errors and knowledge gaps; build targeted training, documentation, or quick-reference guides to close them. - Own BPP drafting conventions for the wiring group: layer naming, block usage, title blocks, wire tagging, terminal mapping, and annotation. - Develop and maintain the wiring team's block and library set. - Work directly with the CAD team to build, test, and roll out custom blocks, dynamic blocks, and tool palettes. - Onboard new Wiring Designers and run them through a defined skills checklist. - Maintain a training curriculum that lays out the skills and competencies every designer should hit, from junior through mid-level. - Lead process-review sessions to find inefficiencies and error sources in the drafting workflow. - Build and maintain checklists, best-practice guides, and quick-reference docs that standardize common tasks. - Serve as the primary point of contact between the wiring design team and EE management. - Coordinate with Manufacturing Engineering and Production to gather as-built feedback. - Stay current on applicable standards (NEC, UL 891, UL 1558, ANSI/IEEE) as they apply to panel wiring, labeling, and construction. Qualifications - 6+ years creating point-to-point wiring diagrams and control panel layouts, ideally in switchgear, control panel, or industrial power distribution manufacturing. - 2+ years leading or supervising a small team of drafters or designers. - Expert in AutoCAD; strong with tool palettes, custom and dynamic blocks, layer management, and title block standards. - Reads and interprets single-line diagrams, schematics, and customer specs without hand-holding. - Solid working knowledge of NEC, UL 891, UL 1558, and ANSI/IEEE as they apply to panel wiring, labeling, and clearances. - Sharp eye for detail; catches small discrepancies and teaches the team to do the same. - Clear written and verbal communication; can give direct feedback and explain the why behind a standard. Preferred - Experience with switchgear, PDUs, or data center power equipment. - Familiarity with AutoCAD Electrical or similar schematic-capture tools. - Exposure to SharePoint-based document control workflows. - Prior experience in a manufacturing environment with direct shop floor interaction.
