  • Strong client‑relations skills, including managing scope changes, schedule, and budgets.
  • Excellent knowledge of Canadian electrical codes, MV/LV power distribution design, equipment, safety strategies, and protection theory.
  • Strong analytical, detail‑oriented, and judgmental decision‑making skills.
  • Self‑motivated with a strong desire to learn.
  • Well‑organized, capable of multitasking in fast‑paced, changing environments.
  • Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate across multifunctional teams.
  • Experience with industrial projects is an asset.
  • P.Eng. licensed in provinces other than Ontario is an asset.
