  • Participate in a fully integrated team environment with continuous coordination among electrical, mechanical, architectural, and trade partner groups.
  • Prepare and refine electrical drawings for construction packages, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and technical quality.
  • Support seamless model integration and clash‑resolution workflows across disciplines.

The Skills That Set You Apart

  • A minimum of 2 years of electrical engineering/design experience using REVIT MEP 3D for building systems.
  • Working toward P.Eng. or C.E.T. designation in Ontario.
  • Strong working knowledge of LV distribution, fire alarm systems, lighting and controls, and passive telecommunications.
  • Experience across different delivery models, such as CM, Design‑Build, and P3 (an asset).
  • Familiarity with the National Building Code of Canada, Ontario Building Code, LEED v4.0, and applicable ASHRAE and CSA/ULC standards.
  • Proficiency with MS Office and demonstrated ability to operate effectively in collaborative, integrated team environments.
  • Eligibility to obtain PSPC Reliability security clearance.
