Electrical Engineer Design Lead

$120k per year

TalentSphere

Electrical Engineer Design Lead
Location: Ottawa, ON
Salary: $120K+ (based on experience)
Industry: Building Engineering

We’re working with a well-established consulting engineering firm in Ottawa that’s looking to bring on a Senior Electrical Engineer / Project Lead. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a collaborative, close-knit environment and wants to play a meaningful role in both project delivery and the future growth of the firm.

The team is small and hands-on, so this role is ideal for someone who’s comfortable taking ownership, supporting junior staff, and getting involved in different aspects of the business. You’ll work across a variety of commercial, institutional, and mixed-use projects, with involvement from early design through to construction.

There’s also an opportunity to become a shareholder, giving you a say in the direction of the business and its long-term growth.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Lead electrical design and project delivery from concept to completion
  • Prepare and review designs, specifications, and technical documents
  • Mentor and support junior and intermediate team members
  • Coordinate with internal teams, architects, and external consultants
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships
  • Contribute to proposals and business development efforts
  • Manage project schedules, budgets, and overall execution

What you bring:

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering
  • P.Eng. designation in Ontario, or working toward it
  • 8+ years of consulting experience, ideally in building systems
  • Experience with commercial, institutional, or mixed-use projects
  • Strong technical design skills and knowledge of applicable codes and standards
  • Comfortable leading projects while staying involved in the details
  • Interest in mentoring and contributing to team growth

What’s in it for you:

  • A leadership role within a growing, entrepreneurial team
  • Exposure to a wide range of impactful projects
  • Clear path to share ownership and partnership
  • Opportunity to influence the direction of the business
  • Supportive and collaborative work culture

This role is a great fit for someone who’s ready to step beyond a typical project role and have a real impact on both projects and the business.
