Lead Electrical Engineer | Edmonton, AB

Capital Engineering is seeking an experienced Lead Electrical Engineer to provide technical leadership and oversight for electrical engineering activities across a variety of industrial EPC projects.

This role is ideal for an experienced electrical engineer who enjoys balancing hands‑on technical involvement with engineering leadership, project execution, and client engagement. You will lead electrical engineering scopes from early project development through detailed engineering, construction support, and commissioning, ensuring deliverables meet applicable codes, standards, project requirements, and client expectations.

Working closely with project managers and other engineering disciplines, you will play a key role in developing technical solutions, supporting project delivery, and mentoring engineers and designers within the electrical group.

This is an office‑based position, and successful candidates must be willing to work in the office rather than remotely or on a hybrid schedule.

What You ’ll Do

• Lead and coordinate electrical engineering and design activities on multi‑discipline industrial projects, from conceptual engineering and FEED through detailed design and construction support.
• Provide technical direction, guidance, and mentorship to electrical engineers, EITs, designers, and other project team members.
• Coordinate project electrical design activities with other engineering disciplines (Piping, Civil, Mechanical, Process, Automation, etc.).
• Communicate directly with clients, contractors, vendors and other project stakeholders.
• Ensure projects are delivered in accordance with Capital's safety, quality and engineering standards.
• Design and review of electrical project deliverables, generated engineered drawings and bulk material take offs for electrical distribution systems, power generation and distribution, motor control, transformers, switchgear, and other industrial electrical equipment.
• Identify technical risks, resolve engineering challenges, and develop practical, cost‑effective solutions
• Develop work packages, answering requests for information, and resolution of technical deviations to engineering specifications.
• Participate in risk assessments and implement measures to mitigate identified electrical hazards.
• Ensure consistency and integrity of electrical designs throughout project life cycle and review designs for logic, functionality and conformity with relevant codes, regulations and client standard.
• Development of Material Requisitions, Review of Vendor drawings and Technical Bid Evaluations.
• Participate in site visits, field surveys, construction reviews and client meetings as required.

What We ’re Looking For

• Electrical Engineering degree (or equivalent) with Professional Engineer designation from APEGA (or equivalent Canadian Association).
• 10+ years of electrical engineering preferably within an EPC or consulting engineering environment.
• Demonstrated experience leading electrical engineering scopes on industrial projects, preferably within oil and gas, oilsands, refining, petrochemical, or other heavy industrial facilities.
• Strong knowledge of industrial electrical systems, equipment, design practices, and applicable Canadian codes and standards including API, NFPA, CSA, and IEEE.
• Experience with electrical engineering deliverables throughout the full project lifecycle, from conceptual design through detailed engineering and construction support.
• Proven ability to provide technical leadership, mentor engineering and design personnel, and coordinate multi‑discipline project teams.
• Experience with medium and low voltage electrical power distribution systems and equipment, including transformers, switchgear, VFDs, motor control centers, and motors.
• Experience in power system analyses (Load Flow, Short Circuit, Relay Co‑ordination, Arc‑Flash, Motor Starting) would be an asset.
• Fluency in both written and spoken English.
