• Provide construction and commissioning support, including field inspections, issue resolution, red-line markups, deficiency tracking, and as-built documentation.
• Coordinate technical interfaces with mechanical, process, structural, project management, procurement, construction, and client teams.
• Identify technical and project risks early, recommend practical solutions, and escalate issues when additional review or authority is required.
• Prepare engineering documents for review and, where applicable, support sealing by the professional engineer responsible for the work.
• Follow company quality procedures, project requirements, applicable codes and standards, and site health and safety requirements.

Your Physical Work Environment Will Require…

• hybrid work schedule at the facility/work from home depending stage of projects and business needs
• Travel to industrial sites and work in field conditions as required by the project to provide construction and commissioning support, and field inspections

Your Experience Should Be...

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline. A diploma in electrical engineering technology may be considered for positions whose assigned duties do not require professional engineering licensure.
• At least five years of relevant experience in industrial electrical design, process automation, controls, or instrumentation.
• Hands-on experience developing PLC and HMI applications on at least one major platform, such as Rockwell Automation, Siemens, or Schneider Electric Modicon.
• Working knowledge of industrial control systems, motor controls, variable-frequency drives, instrumentation, industrial networks, and electrical distribution systems.
• Experience producing electrical and control design packages using AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or comparable design software.
• Ability to interpret and apply applicable codes and standards, including the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and relevant CSA, NFPA, IEC, and client standards.
• Ability to prepare clear calculations, specifications, reports, design notes, test procedures, and project correspondence in English.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to manage priorities across concurrent projects.
• Ability and willingness to travel to industrial sites and work in field conditions as required by the project.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional Engineer licensed in Ontario, or eligibility to obtain one. A current P.Eng. license is required when the position includes independent professional engineering responsibility or sealing of engineering documents.
