Position Overview

Electrical Engineers at Kiewit are the driving force behind the power, control, and energy systems that keep some of North America's most ambitious industrial and infrastructure projects running. Here, engineering isn't theoretical - it's built. You'll design systems that must perform in the real world, collaborate directly with construction teams who bring your work to life, and solve complex challenges that demand both technical depth and practical, field-ready thinking. If you want to engineer solutions that move communities forward and see your designs become tangible, high-impact facilities, Kiewit is where you can do it.

We are adding strong electrical engineers with power and industrial design experience with 5+ years to support a broad scope of projects within our Industrial sector. We are open to considering full time candidates in one of our Kiewit offices listed below or will consider candidates remotely, on a contract basis. Experience with detailed design, and US Citizenship or Canadian citizenship is required.

Location

We are hiring for Direct, full time positions to be located in our Calgary Canada office.
