  • Reviewing design calculations and preparing contract documentation, including equipment specifications, cable/conduit schedules, installation specifications, procurement documents, sub‑contractor requisitions, scope‑of‑work, bill‑of‑materials, and process narratives.
  • Quality control of design drawings and technical documents.
  • Supporting tendering and construction activities: responding to RFIs, reviewing shop drawings, evaluating electrical reports (short circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash, GPR, harmonics), performing site inspections, preparing testing plans, and handling change orders.
  • Coordinating electrical designs with other engineering disciplines, vendors, and external design teams.
  • Ensuring compliance with Canadian electrical codes, industry standards, and regulatory requirements, and liaising with clients and authorities.

Qualifications

  • B.A.Sc. in Electrical Engineering.
  • Registered P.E. of Ontario.
  • 15–20+ years of experience designing and implementing MV and LV electrical systems.
  • 15+ years of experience in water and wastewater treatment plants.
  • Large‑scale project experience and experience working with municipalities.
  • Experience supervising electrical teams and leading technical development.
  • 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.
  • Experience with City of Toronto and York Region projects is a strong asset.
