Full Job Description
Senior / Intermediate Electrical (EIC) Designers

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 points
  • The 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


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

Apply, and let's build something solid together.
