Your work will help our clients operate safely, reliably, and efficiently.
Your Impact
- Design electrical power distribution and control systems that support safe, reliable industrial operations.
- Apply your technical expertise to hazardous classification environments including flammable gases and combustible dusts.
- Conduct power system studies—load flow, short‑circuit, arc‑flash analysis—using tools such as ETAP or EasyPower.
- Prepare specifications and data sheets for switchgear, MCCs, transformers, and associated equipment.
- Deliver electrical systems design across power distribution, motor control, lighting, grounding, lightning protection, and more.
- Incorporate regulatory compliance, safety considerations, and risk analysis into every stage of design.
- Oversee engineering calculations and verify design accuracy through field reviews and site evaluations.
- Coordinate design activities across disciplines and offices to support seamless project execution.
- Build relationships with clients, respond to technical inquiries, and provide expert guidance.
- Mentor junior staff and help grow the next generation of electrical engineering talent.
The Skills That Set You Apart
- 3+ years of electrical engineering design experience supporting heavy industrial facilities.
- Eligibility to become a Registered Canadian Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario; additional jurisdictions considered an asset.
- Strong understanding of CSA, ANSI, IEEE, building codes, and other relevant standards.
- Proficiency in power system modelling tools and familiarity with instrumentation, automation, and control systems.
- Ability to execute project work across power distribution, grounding, heat tracing, fire alarms, cathodic protection, and related systems.
- Experience working in industrial environments such as mines, mills, refineries, ports, or material‑handling facilities.
- Valid driver’s licence and ability to attend industrial sites in accordance with safety requirements.
Collaborative mindset with the ability to work within multidiscipline project teams.
