Job description

Senior / Intermediate Electrical (EIC) Designers

Welcome to Lauren

We’re not just delivering projects—we’re building them from first sketch to first spark.

Lauren Services is a full‑service EPCM firm supporting the Energy sector across feasibility, engineering, detailed design, construction, and operations. Our Calgary office brings together sharp technical minds, collaborative problem‑solvers, and people who genuinely care about doing good work—and doing it right.

We value quality over ego, clarity over chaos, and teams over silos. If you like smart conversations, well‑run projects, and designs you’re proud to put your name on—you’ll fit right in.

The Opportunity

We’re growing — and we’re looking for an Electrical & Controls (EIC) Designer who loves the details and understands the bigger picture.

Whether you’re a senior designer with years of project battle‑scars or an experienced intermediate ready to step up, this role puts you at the heart of real EPCM work—designing electrical and control systems that actually get built.

You’ll work on Oil & Gas and energy projects where strong EIC design matters, collaborating closely with engineers, PMs, clients, and fellow designers who know their stuff.

What You’ll Be Doing (aka: The Good Stuff)

You’ll take ownership of EIC design packages from concept through IFC, including:

• Electrical & control system design and drafting
• Cable tray layouts, power & lighting, grounding, and area layouts
• Single line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, and I/O loop drawings
• Control panel layouts, marshalling cabinets, PLC/DCS interfaces
• 3D modelling and coordinated layouts (AutoCAD / AutoCAD 3D)
• Electrical load lists, cable schedules, equipment lists, BOMs
• Design calculations (voltage drop, lighting levels, tray fill, heat trace)

Beyond drawings, you’ll:

• Review scope and design quality with a critical, experienced eye
• Coordinate across disciplines to keep designs clean and buildable
• Catch issues early, ask good questions, and contribute solutions
• Support quality control and help set the design bar for the team

What You Bring

We’re less interested in buzzwords and more interested in capability and mindset.

You likely have:

• A Diploma in Electrical Design or Electrical Engineering Technology
• Solid experience in electrical + controls design for industrial / energy projects
• Strong working knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code
• Confidence using AutoCAD (3D experience is a big plus)
• Experience with control systems, instrumentation, and interface pointsThe ability to manage multiple deliverables without things slipping

If you’re senior, you likely:

• Mentor others naturally and raise design quality around you
• Understand EPCM workflows and how design decisions impact construction

If you’re intermediate, you likely:

• Take ownership of your work and want more responsibility
• Are ready to stretch into more complex systems and coordination

Skills That Make You Stand Out

• Strong understanding of control system architecture
• Experience with PLC/DCS panels, control cabinets, marshalling
• Organized, detail‑oriented, and calm under deadline pressure
• Comfortable collaborating across engineering, drafting, and execution teams
• Practical, solutions‑focused communicator

How We Work

• Hybrid work model – flexibility without losing team connection
• Supportive leadership and realistic project schedules
• A culture where good ideas are welcome, regardless of title
• Room to grow—technically, professionally, and long‑term

Why Lauren?

Because you want:

• Projects that are technically interesting and well‑run
• A team that respects design quality and field realities
• Less red tape, more trust
• A workplace where your work actually matters

If you want your next role to feel purposeful, challenging, and human; we should talk.
