Job description

Calgary, AB | Office-Based | 10–20% Travel when needed

$130,000 – $165,000 + Full Benefits

Our client is a well-established, highly respected engineering firm delivering comprehensive solutions across Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls, Automation, Power Generation, and Civil/Structural disciplines. Known for tackling complex brownfield challenges, they support major energy infrastructure clients across Western Canada.

They are currently seeking an Intermediate to Senior Electrical Engineer to join their tight-knit Calgary team. This is a hands-on, cradle-to-grave engineering role suited for someone who enjoys ownership, collaboration, and working on technically challenging projects.

The Opportunity

You will play a key role in the execution of brownfield and retrofit electrical projects within the oil & gas sector. Working from the Calgary office, you’ll manage multiple projects simultaneously, contribute directly to detailed engineering, mentor junior team members, and authenticate engineering deliverables.

This role is ideal for a practical, detail-oriented engineer who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves — redlines, markups, vendor reviews, and full engineering packages.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and execute electrical engineering projects from concept through completion
• Perform and review electrical calculations and detailed designs
• Authenticate drawings and engineering documents
• Design and support low and medium voltage systems (up to 15kV)
• Work with switchgear, MCCs, automatic transfer switches, and power factor correction systems
• Review vendor drawings and technical documentation
• Support and mentor EITs, junior designers, and drafters
• Provide clear guidance to non-engineering team members
• Manage multiple active projects simultaneously
• Collaborate closely within a small, high-performing team
• Participate in site visits and travel (approximately 10–20% when required)

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering
• P.Eng. licensed in Alberta (or eligible and willing to obtain additional provincial licenses; costs covered)
• Minimum 5+ years of electrical engineering experience (7–10 years preferred)
• At least 4 years of experience supporting brownfield or retrofit projects
• Experience in oil & gas facilities and industrial environments
• Strong background in low and medium voltage systems
• Ability to read, review, and mark up full engineering packages
• Proficiency with Bluebeam
• Experience with AutoCAD and related engineering tools
• Strong communication skills and collaborative working style
• Willingness to travel and work fully office-based
• Ability to pass drug & alcohol testing and provide a satisfactory driver’s abstract

Why Join This Company

• Technically challenging, high-impact infrastructure projects
• Supportive, tight-knit team with a strong company culture
• Competitive compensation ($130,000 – $165,000, commensurate with experience)
• Comprehensive benefits and covered professional expenses
• Long-term career growth with an established engineering firm
