Subject matter expert in folded plate structure design
Creating and/or checking structural steel designs and calculations
Creating and/or checking foundation designs and calculations
Creating and/or checking rigid bus calculations, and
Creating and/or checking sag and tensions designs and calculations
Subject matter expert in folded plate structure design
The DE shall be capable of applying engineering principles, judgment, and knowledge to develop innovative and cost saving solutions for all DIS-TRAN projects
The DE shall be responsible for producing accurate and organized structural calculations, for customer review, sizing all structural elements for structures to be fabricated as well as providing reactions for foundation design
The DE shall be fully knowledgeable of DIS-TRAN design standards including all applicable building codes and standards relating to physical and structural substation design
The DE shall produce efficient steel designs that meet all requirements of building codes, customer specifications, and equipment operational requirements. The engineer is expected to and be responsible for ensuring that all reasonable efforts are made to keep steel designs within the quoted steel cost
The DE shall have a thorough knowledge of all electrical clearance requirements, and assure they are met
The DE shall have a thorough knowledge of the function and operation of all substation equipment. Applying this knowledge is critical to producing adequate structure designs
The DE shall have a working knowledge of all engineering software used by DIS-TRAN
The DE shall be capable of reviewing/checking the bus design and structural layout for all projects
The DE shall be able to produce foundation designs and foundation construction drawings
The DE shall be responsible for following the project throughout the design process, supporting the design team on technical matters, and ensuring that their design intent is maintained
The DE shall be responsible for helping, including working with project management, to resolve or remove any impediments to the successful completion of the project
The DE shall be responsible for knowing and understanding the specifications and/or customer requests – communicating any items that may be easily missed to the design team. It is expected that the engineer will remain in touch with the design team on a periodic basis while the work is ongoing
