Mechanical Designer Engineer (Intermediate)

About RIC Power Corp
RIC Power Corp. is owned by Panelmatic and designs and manufactures medium-voltage switchgear solutions for utilities, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects where safety, reliability, and performance are critical. Our focus is on delivering engineered-to-order systems, including metal-enclosed, metal-clad, and arc-resistant switchgear, tailored to the unique requirements of each application. With a deep understanding of electrical distribution, protection, and safety standards, RIC Power develops solutions that support long-term system reliability while prioritizing operator safety and ease of maintenance. Every system is carefully engineered, manufactured, and assembled using proven components and industry-recognized practices to ensure consistent performance in demanding environments.The Mechanical Designer is responsible for the detailed design and 3D modeling of switchgear and power distribution products. Working under the technical guidance of the Mechanical Engineering Lead, this role transforms high-level concepts into manufacturing-ready drawing packages. The Designer ensures all outputs are accurate, feasible, and strictly adhere to RIC Power /Panelmatic design standards and Quality Management System (QMS).Job Responsibilities:
Create and maintain 3D models, parts, assemblies, and construction drawings using SolidWorksGenerate accurate bills of materials (BOMs) to support manufacturing, procurement, and costingWork within established drawing standards, document control procedures, and PDM systemsMaintain and update existing parts and assembly drawings, converting them into fabrication-ready drawings for productionReview mechanical designs for manufacturability, cost effectiveness, tolerance stack-up, and ease of assemblyParticipate in internal design reviews and contribute practical, production-focused solutionsCollaborate closely with electrical designers and engineers to ensure proper mechanical-electrical integrationApply applicable codes and standards, including CSA, UL, IEEC, and internal company standardsEnsure mechanical designs support regulatory compliance and safety requirementsWork with the production team to develop assembly details, work instructions, and build sequences for complex assembliesreview vendor drawings and technical documentation for accuracy and compatibilityInteract with vendors and suppliers to integrate purchased components into designsSupport engineering change processes (ECR/ECO) and maintain accurate revision controlAssist with troubleshooting and resolving design-related issues during fabrication, assembly, and testingProvide informal technical guidance and knowledge sharing to junior designers as required.Exceptional attention to detail and accuracyStrong proficiency with SolidWorks or a comparable 3D CAD platformProven experience with sheet metal design and industrial enclosure fabricationExperience designing structural members, frames, and heavy-duty assembliesSolid understanding of manufacturing processesKnowledge of tolerance stack-ups, fit, and functionAbility to interpret electrical schematics and understand interface requirementsExperience working within PDM/PLM systems (e.G., SolidWorks PDM)Proficiency with Microsoft Excel for BOMs, calculations, and engineering data trackingStrong communication, organization, and time-management skillsProactive problem-solving mindset with a focus on practical solutionsAbility to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environmentAsset: Experience with FEA analysis (static and/or dynamic)Engineering degree or technical diploma (e.G., Mechanical Engineering, AScT)Eligibility or registration with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC) as a P.Eng. or EIT is an asset3- 5 years of experience in a mechanical and/or electrical manufacturing environmentDemonstrated ability to produce mechanical general arrangement (GA) drawings and detailed part and assembly drawingsExperience with large industrial equipment, custom-engineered products, or electrical enclosuresExperience in medium voltage switchgear or power distribution equipmentHealth, Dental, Vision coverageRRSP matching programTuition reimbursementPaid time-offCompany events
