Job Description

Overview

We have an exciting and innovative new team focused on new and groundbreaking projects, allowing a chance to influence future design decisions – and we want you to be part of it! For this role, you can be based in either our Pickering or Mississauga, ON, offices, within a hybrid working environment.

The team is in “start-up mode”, so this is a hands-on position, with everyone helping to achieve our commitments, and go above and beyond to impress our clients. Our team will always be the first in the door with potential new build clients, so our goals are to enable follow-on large-scale projects for our company and repeat business for ourselves. As such, this is a dynamic role that requires breadth of perspective and knowledge, along with ability to perform all required work to support all projects, from technical business development through pre-feasibility and early concepts to FEED stages.

Your role

• Assist in the design and documentation of nuclear power plant and other industrial site and building electrical systems, including power distribution and lighting, emergency and backup power, grounding and bonding, fire alarm and life safety systems, and low‑voltage systems (data, communications, security).
• Perform basic electrical calculations (load calculations, voltage drop, short‑circuit, lighting levels) under supervision.
• Apply Electrical Safety Codes, Building Codes, standards, and utility requirements relevant to the country and jurisdiction of each project.
• Assist with preparation of technical specifications and schedules.
• Support direction of Designers preparing and revising 3D models and drawings using electrical design software, 3D modelling, and other BIM tools.
• Coordinate with architectural, mechanical, structural, and other engineering disciplines to ensure coordinated working and integrated design solutions.
• Maintain organized project files and documentation in accordance with company nuclear quality management system procedures.
• Support all other activities for the Design Integration team, including site visits (as required).
• Work under the guidance of licensed engineers to develop competencies required for P.Eng. licensure.
• Actively pursue technical learning, code knowledge, and industry best practices.

About you

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
• Eligibility for eventual licensing with Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) or professional license application already in progress.
• 2–4 years of relevant junior level mentored engineering experience in electrical engineering design, including identifying and designing interfaces between new build industrial sites and existing infrastructure.
• Skills in complementary areas of nuclear new build projects, for example business development, preparation of proposals, or project management is preferred.
• Proficiency or working knowledge of codes, standards, and industry best practices, as well as modern digital design and analysis tools and techniques in electrical and other engineering disciplines.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
• Good organizational and time‑management skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
