The Opportunity

Innovate and Lead - In this role, you'll be at the forefront of designing and delivering electrical systems that power critical infrastructure for communities.

  • Perform load calculations and use modelling tools to size transformers, generators, switchgear, MCCs, and other electrical equipment.
  • Develop electrical models using ETAP and EasyPower for power flow, short circuit, arc flash, and harmonics analysis.
  • Produce detailed drawings and diagrams, including single-line, three-line, grounding layouts, and control schematics.
  • Lead internal technical reviews and ensure compliance with codes and standards such as CEC, IEEE, NFPA, and NEMA.
  • Manage projects from design through construction, including contract administration, field reviews and commissioning.
  • Mentor junior staff and contribute to expanding WSP's industrial electrical service offerings.

The Skills That Set You Apart
  • 10+ years of electrical consulting design experience in the industrial sector, preference for W&WW experience.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering; P.Eng designation in British Columbia.
  • Expertise in low- and medium-voltage systems, including switchgear, transformers, MCCs, and VFDs.
  • Proficiency in ETAP, SKM, or EasyPower for power system studies.
  • Knowledge of industrial automation and communication protocols (Profinet, Modbus TCP/IP, DeviceNet).
  • Familiarity with Metro Vancouver engineering and drafting standards is an asset.
  • Valid driver's licence with a clean abstract.
  • PE is an asset.
