Electrical Services
(OP)
I'm a recently graduated electrical engineer, I've been working at a small building services consulting company for about 5 months. Recently the head electrical engineer left, leaving me with much much more responsibilty in terms of design and documentation.
Unfortunately, during my university education we learnt nothing with regard lighting design which is major component of my job. Does anybody here have any reccomendations for resources I could use to teach myself about this area of engineering, especially lighting but general electrical services resources are also necessary.
Thanks for any help you can offer

I am not sure of the laws here with regard to this so if any Australian, particularly queensland engineers can point towards some information on the laws about prcticing engineering, it would be much appreciated.
Regardless, I would still like to learn to do my job with some confidence.
RE: Electrical Services
The for your benefit, refer to IES lighting hand book and reference book. But it is not something you will learn in a few days.
As mentioned before, just 5 months of experience is not going to cut it. I do not see this as your problem, you may use this as opportunity to step up the plate but there will be more pitfalls that you don't even know. So differ much of your initial issues to the Owner of the firm.
