- Participate in FAT testing and inspect electrical components under supervision.
- Assist in commissioning activities at client sites.
- Learn and apply industry standards (UL508A, CEC) and company practices.
- Collaborate with senior engineers and project teams to gain hands-on experience.
- Ensure compliance with company and client standards.
Intermediate Level (P.Eng. Eligible / AScT - Electrical Engineering Technologist)
At this level, candidates are expected to work more independently, handle more complex tasks, and contribute to project management. In addition to Junior Level responsibilities, they will:
- Design electrical and control systems for industrial applications with minimal supervision.
- Develop network topology drawings and safety architecture designs.
- Perform power system analysis, including circuit breaker sizing, load calculations, and lighting design.
- Work with EPLAN and AutoCAD Electrical to produce detailed design drawings.
- Independently oversee FAT testing and inspect electrical components before and after installation.
- Provide commissioning support at client sites, including supervision of contractors.
- Manage project tasks, ensuring timely completion and adherence to quality standards.
- Communicate project updates effectively with clients and internal teams.
- Review and interpret specifications, ensuring compliance with industry codes and standards.
- Participate in mentoring junior engineers and technologists, offering guidance and technical support.
Senior Level (P.Eng. Required / Senior Technologist - AScT)
At this level, candidates are expected to be fully independent and assume design responsibility of projects, mentor teams, and contribute to strategic planning. In addition to Junior and Intermediate Level responsibilities, they will:
- Be involved in EIC engineering and design efforts for complex industrial projects.
- Develop and review engineering deliverables, including single-line diagrams, power and control schematics, and grounding layouts.
- Conduct power studies using ETAP, SKM, or EasyPower (load flow, short circuit, coordination studies, arc flash analysis).
- Specify and approve electrical equipment, including transformers, switchgear, and VFDs.
- Oversee vendor documentation review, factory acceptance testing (FAT), and site commissioning.
- Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior and intermediate engineers and technologists.
- Support business development efforts by preparing estimates and proposals.
- Interface with utilities and regulatory bodies as required.
- Participate in strategic decision-making and process improvements within the organization.
