Job Description

What if you could redefine what’s possible? With us, you can. You want Purpose. Growth. Opportunity. People who get it.

The Opportunity

WSP’s Resources subsector, part of our Energy, Resources & Industry business line, supports mining and heavy industrial clients across Canada. Our teams deliver engineering and project execution excellence across the full project lifecycle—from conceptual studies and detailed design to commissioning, optimization, and beyond. In this role, you will lead and shape the electrical power systems that drive Canada’s mining, metals and industrial sectors. Based in one of our Ontario offices—ideally in Northern Ontario or Greater Toronto Area—as the Lead Electrical Engineer, you will lead as a senior subject matter expert in the electrical design for new construction and brownfield mining, metals and other heavy industrial projects, influencing project outcomes from concept through completion. Your work will help our clients operate safely, reliably, and efficiently.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and exhibit senior level technical expertise in the design of electrical power distribution and control systems that support safe, reliable industrial operations.
  • Apply your technical expertise to hazardous classification environments including flammable gases and combustible dusts.
  • Lead and conduct power system studies—load flow, short‑circuit, arc‑flash analysis—using tools such as ETAP or EasyPower.
  • Prepare specifications and data sheets for switchgear, MCCs, transformers, and associated equipment.
  • Deliver electrical systems design across power distribution, motor control, lighting, grounding, lightning protection, and more.
  • Incorporate regulatory compliance, safety considerations, and risk analysis into every stage of design.
  • As a senior expert, oversee engineering calculations and verify design accuracy through field reviews and site evaluations.
  • Lead and coordinate design activities across disciplines and offices to support seamless project execution.
  • Build relationships with clients, respond to technical inquiries, and provide expert guidance.
  • Mentor junior staff and help grow the next generation of electrical engineering talent.

Qualifications

  • At least 18+ years of electrical engineering design experience supporting heavy industrial facilities, specifically in mining, metals and heavy industry.
  • Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario; additional jurisdictions considered an asset.
  • Strong understanding of CSA, ANSI, IEEE, building codes, and other relevant standards.
  • Proficiency in power system modelling tools and familiarity with instrumentation, automation, and control systems.
  • Experience leading and mentoring other electrical engineers.
  • Ability to execute project work across power distribution, grounding, heat tracing, fire alarms, cathodic protection, and related systems.
  • Experience working in industrial environments such as mines, mills, refineries, ports, or material‑handling facilities.
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to attend industrial sites in accordance with safety requirements.
  • Collaborative mindset with the ability to work within multidiscipline project teams.

Location

Ontario offices, ideally Northern Ontario or Greater Toronto Area.

Compensation

AB, BC, NT, NU, SK & YT: $135,200 - $179,100

MB & ON: $123,300 - $169,800

NB, NL, NS, PEI & QC: $122,100 - $162,200

Disclosure: The final salary awarded for this role may vary from the above range based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs. The wage range provided in this job posting may be subject to change for business purposes.

WSP is committed to the principles of employment equity. Only the candidates selected will be contacted.
