Job description

INTERMEDIATE ELECTRICAL DESIGNER/ENGINEER

The Opportunity

We’re building the future of Ottawa, and we want you to help lead the charge. This isn't just a desk job; it’s a platform for an ambitious Engineer to bridge the gap between technical design and project leadership. You’ll own small projects from start to finish and play a pivotal role in our most complex, large-scale innovations.

What You’ll Do

Design with Purpose: Lead the design of electrical distribution, life safety systems, lighting & controls, and building systems using a sustainability-first mindset.

Solve & Innovate: Tackle complex engineering puzzles, validate calculations, and produce technical specifications that set the industry standard.

Collaborate: Work at the center of a multidisciplinary hub, coordinating with architects and structural engineers to bring visions to life.

Mentor & Lead: Empower the next generation of engineers by providing technical guidance to junior staff and managing agile project teams.

Client Relations: Act as the face of the firm in client meetings, turning technical requirements into successful project proposals.

We value precision & efficiency. You’ll be a power user in:

AutoCAD (Drafting & Modeling)

Advanced Excel (Complex Worksheets)

Why You’re the Perfect Fit

You are a licensed P.Eng. with 4–10 years of experience in building systems.

You’re tired of being micro-managed—you crave the autonomy to make independent decisions.

You have a "figure-it-out" mentality when faced with novel or difficult engineering challenges.

You aren't just an engineer; you’re a project manager in the making.

The Perks

Competitive Base + Performance Bonuses.

Group Benefit Plan & RRSP Matching.

Mentorship: Direct access to senior leadership for complex career-tracking.

Modern Workflow: We prioritize process improvement and lean engineering.
