WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Serve as the technical authority and design owner for electrical and controls systems used in engineered nitrogen generation equipment
• Define and re‑architect electrical system designs to meet performance, safety, regulatory, delivery, and future scalability requirements
• Produce and review full‑cycle electrical designs and drawings (schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts) and associated documentation and BOMs as required
• Ensure compliance with applicable electrical codes and standards (e.g. ESA, CSA, UL, NFPA, SIL) and support regulatory submissions and inspections
• Establish and maintain standardized electrical architectures, templates, and design guidelines to enable repeatable builds
• Transition electrical design ownership and documentation from external contractors to internal systems and processes
• Collaborate with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and project teams to define scope, interfaces, and system integration requirements
• Support panel builds, troubleshooting, commissioning, and customer technical reviews as needed
• Evaluate and technically direct external electrical contractors and vendors as required
• Design electrical systems with a future‑forward perspective, enabling digital connectivity, diagnostics, remote monitoring, and Industry 4.0 integration
• Consider scalability, modularity, and upgrade paths in electrical designs to support evolving product offerings

WHAT YOU BRING

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• 6+ years of experience in electrical engineering within industrial manufacturing, automation, or capital equipment environments
• Demonstrated experience acting as design authority for electrical systems, including approval and accountability for drawings and documentation

• Experience working with regulatory and inspection frameworks (ESA, CSA, UL, NFPA, etc.)
• Willingness and ability to produce and modify electrical drawings as required to support delivery
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross‑functionally in a manufacturing environment
• P.Eng. designation or eligibility for licensure in Ontario
• Experience with safety PLCs and SIL‑rated systems
• Familiarity with industrial gas, process equipment, or skid‑mounted systems
• Experience developing reusable electrical standards or productized system architectures
• Exposure to connected systems, remote monitoring, or industrial data platforms

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive compensation package, including annual performance bonus
• Paid time off to recharge and refresh
• Health & Dental coverage — 100% employer‑paid
• RRSP matching program to help you invest in your future
