The Opportunity

Shape the World Around You - Join our Buildings M&E team and contribute to projects that define tomorrow's spaces. You'll work on diverse Canadian projects including commercial buildings, retail environments, warehouses, tenant fit-outs, niche healthcare clinics, and specialty spaces. Many assignments involve multi-location programs, giving you exposure to national standards and coordination challenges that go beyond single-site work. This role offers the chance to contribute to high-impact projects while collaborating with architects, landlords, and contractors to deliver innovative, client-focused solutions.

Your Impact

  • Design electrical systems for power distribution, lighting, communications, fire alarm, and life-safety using Revit and AutoCAD.
  • Develop single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and perform load calculations and coordination studies to ensure safe, efficient systems.
  • Apply codes and standards such as OBC, Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and ASHRAE to deliver compliant, high-quality designs.
  • Collaborate with mechanical and multidisciplinary teams to create integrated solutions for complex projects.
  • Support construction through RFIs, shop drawing reviews, and site visits, ensuring designs translate seamlessly to reality.

The Skills That Set You Apart

  • Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • 7+ years of experience delivering electrical design for buildings projects across commercial, retail, and specialty spaces.
  • Advanced proficiency in Revit (mandatory) and AutoCAD; familiarity with lighting calculation tools and power system analysis software is an asset.
  • Strong knowledge of OBC, Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and ASHRAE standards.
  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment and coordinating with diverse stakeholders.
  • Why Choose WSP?

  • Proudly Canadian - we are a Top 100 Employer in Canada for 2026.
  • A global community of 72,000 brilliant minds - your next idea, mentor, or opportunity is always within reach.
  • Limitless opportunities start here. Whether across the country or around the globe, we'll help you tailor your role to match your ambition-because your growth drives ours.
  • Flexible work, real balance - we recognize the importance of balance in our lives and encourage you to prioritize the balance in yours.
