About MSCP

MSCP Heat Management Solutions is a rapidly evolving organization built as a system of interdependent processes and not as a traditional hierarchy. Estimating, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and field execution operate as connected entity, each contributing to the overall flow of work.

Our focus is not on maximizing efficiency, we focus on managing our chosen constraints and improving total system throughput. This requires a shared conceptual foundation grounded in systems thinking, Theory of Constraints, and practical application in industrial environments.

Engineering at MSCP does not exist as a standalone function. It exists to enable flow—to ensure that what is designed can be estimated, built, installed, and maintained without friction.

Our work spans different industrial sectors, including oil & gas, where electrical reliability, constructability, and repeatability are critical. Strong theoretical understanding is valued as it leads to clear, executable, and scalable solutions.

Role Overview

The Design/Structural Engineer is a new position that plays a central role in strengthening MSCP’s electrical design capability as we expand into more complex product and system offerings that require standardization and a high level of repeatability.

This role is responsible for developing engineered solutions related to structural/electrical assemblies, heat management systems, insulation systems, and supporting infrastructure, while ensuring alignment with electrical heat trace (EHT) and control systems, where required.

The Design Engineer is expected to operate across the system, bridging engineering, manufacturing, and field execution, ensuring that designs are not only technically sound, but flow efficiently from concept to installation.

Success in this role is measured by:

Reduction in rework and design-related delays

Increased repeatability and standardization

Improved integration between mechanical, electrical, and field execution

Contribution to the development of scalable electrical capabilities within MSCP

Key Responsibilities

Electrical & Automation Design and Engineering

Develop detailed electrical designs, assemblies, and engineered solutions for heat management and insulation systems

Design of complex electrical structures and supports that are robust, installable, and suited to industrial environments

Produce fabrication-ready drawings, models, and specifications with a focus on clarity and usability

Ensure all designs are grounded in real-world constructability, access, and installation constraints

Drive standardization of electrical components and assemblies to support repeatable execution

Ensure electrical designs integrate effectively with electrical heat trace (EHT), controls, and automation systems

Work with internal teams and vendors to align on power, control, and instrumentation requirements

Maintain alignment between electrical design intent and system-level functionality

System-Centered Engineering

Design with full awareness of downstream impacts across estimating, procurement, manufacturing, and field execution

Identify and address constraints in design that may limit flow, constructability, or scalability

Collaborate company wide to ensure designs contribute to overall system performance rather than local optimization

Translate field and manufacturing feedback into improved design approaches

Manufacturing & Product Development

Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) with a focus on electrical components and assemblies

Support the transition from custom design work to repeatable, production-ready solutions

Contribute to manufacturing setup, including tooling considerations and production flow

Assist in building MSCP’s internal capability to produce standardized electrical systems

Field Integration & Support

Engage with field teams to validate designs and ensure alignment with installation realities

Participate in site visits to observe system performance and gather feedback

Troubleshoot electrical and system-level issues and adjust designs accordingly

Ensure designs reduce ambiguity and enable efficient field execution

Continuous Improvement & Capability Building

Contribute to the development of engineering standards, templates, and best practices

Identify opportunities to simplify designs and reduce unnecessary complexity

Support the ongoing evolution of MSCP’s engineering function within our chosen system management approach (Deming and Theory of Constraints)

Play a role in building long-term electrical design capability within the organization

Qualifications & Experience

Advanced Engineering degree in Electrical

5+ years of experience in electrical design within industrial, construction, or manufacturing environments

Demonstrated experience designing electrical systems, structures, or assemblies in real-world applications

Exposure to electrical systems such as heat trace (EHT), controls, or automation is considered an asset

Proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar)

Experience developing fabrication drawings, electrical assemblies, and Bills of Materials

Strong understanding of materials, thermal systems, insulation systems, or industrial environments

What Sets You Apart

You think in terms of systems, not silos

You are comfortable working across disciplines and adjusting based on feedback

You naturally consider how your work impacts others downstream

You are motivated to build something—not just complete tasks

Combination of office-based, manufacturing, and field exposure

Direct collaboration with manufacturing and field execution teams

Occasional travel to project sites
