Electrical Engineer

About the Role

We are currently seeking to add an Electrical Engineer to our Kelowna team.

The Kelowna division primarily serves the water and wastewater industry, while also supplying equipment to the mining, wood fibre, and oil & gas sectors.

Your primary responsibilities will include Electrical, Instrumentation, and Controls Engineering for small projects such as sewage lift stations, fresh water pump stations, and pressure reducing valve stations, as well as medium-sized projects including water and wastewater treatment plants. These projects are typically supported by low-voltage secondary service supplied by an electrical utility (600 VAC, 120/240 VAC, or 120/208 VAC).

The Centrix Kelowna office includes a CSA panel shop, a service and maintenance group, and operates as an electrical contractor. Working alongside our electricians, our Engineering group takes pride in producing constructable designs, including shop-drawing-ready control panel and starter panel drawings.

With the range of services Centrix Kelowna offers, if your interests extend beyond EI&C design work, there are opportunities to get involved in integration and commissioning (PLC, HMI, and SCADA), OT network security, project management, and more.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with electrical, instrumentation, and controls industry experience. Start Date Jan 1 , 2027
