Job description

Electrical Engineer (EIT), Power Systems

Our client is a well-established multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm that delivers innovative electrical engineering solutions for industrial, utility, renewable energy, and municipal infrastructure projects. Their team partners with clients across sectors including mining, forestry, pulp and paper, independent power production, water and wastewater, municipalities, agriculture, fish farming, and utilities.

As the company continues to grow, they are looking for an Electrical Engineer (EIT) with 3-4 years of experience to join their power systems team. This is an opportunity to build hands‑on technical experience across the full project lifecycle - from concept through commissioning - while working alongside senior engineers who can support your path toward P. Eng registration.

Approximately 10% travel is required for site visits, commissioning, and client meetings.

• Support the design, implementation, and commissioning of high-, medium-, and low-voltage (HV, MV & LV) AC/DC power systems, under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Assist in preparing engineering design packages, construction drawings, technical specifications, and tender documents.
• Help develop equipment specifications and support procurement activities.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to coordinate project scope and deliverables.
• Contribute to client-facing work across design, construction, and commissioning phases, with mentorship from senior team members.
• Take on increasing ownership of engineering studies as your experience grows.

What We're Looking For

• We're looking for a motivated engineer building a career in industrial power systems. Ideal candidates will have:
• 3-4 years of electrical engineering experience within industrial, utility, or infrastructure environments.
• A Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Registered as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC), working toward P.Eng designation.
• Exposure to designing or supporting industrial electrical systems, ideally including motor control centres (MCCs), balance of plant (BOP), or industrial power distribution.
