• Provide technical support during construction, expediting design changes as needed.
• Conduct on-site field reviews, assess as-constructed electrical works, and prepare field review reports and directions.
• Stay updated on current electrical codes, provincial / municipal engineering standards, and requirements from reviewing agencies.
• Work closely with engineers, engineering interns, and multidisciplinary teams (civil, architectural, transportation) to resolve conflicts and support the preparation of concept designs, sketches, calculations, and drawing submissions.
• Review and interpret drawings from multiple disciplines, including civil, landscape, transportation, structural, and mechanical.
• Provide technical training, mentoring, and guidance to junior designers.
• Analyze design issues and determine appropriate solutions.
• Manage project deadlines, track progress, and provide regular updates to project team and supervisor.
• Estimate time requirements for completing tasks and provide input into project budgets.
• Collaborate with peer CAD designers and students on project deliverables while ensuring high standards through thorough Quality Control reviews of designs and drawings.
• Update and maintain electrical drawing and document templates (AutoCAD and MicroStation) to ensure consistency across projects and adherence to company standards and quality control procedures.

What you bring :

• Post-secondary diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 2-4 years of electrical engineering experience, preferably with a consulting firm.
• Proficiency in pole loading analysis software (e.g., SPIDAcalc, O-Calc Pro) is highly preferred.
• Proficiency in design software such as AutoCAD, MicroStation, Agi32, and Visual Roadway Tool, along with experience with Microsoft Office Suite.
• Proven experience and strong knowledge of electrical systems, power distribution, lighting, and relevant ESA codes and regulations.
• Experience attending project meetings with clients, developers, contractors, utilities, and municipalities or approval agencies.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
