Join our Buildings M&E team as a Senior Electrical Engineer and help shape electrical solutions for diverse projects across Canada. Based in Thornhill/Markham (GTA), you’ll bring senior-level technical expertise to commercial buildings, retail environments, warehouses, tenant fit-outs, niche healthcare clinics, and specialty spaces.

Responsibilities:

- Lead electrical designs for power distribution, lighting, communications/IT, fire alarm, security/access control, emergency, and life-safety systems using Revit and AutoCAD.

- Develop and review single-line diagrams, panel schedules, load calculations, electrical distribution designs, and short-circuit and coordination studies.

- Deliver lighting calculations, fixture and equipment selections, and layouts for power, lighting, emergency, and specialty electrical systems.

- Apply the OBC, Ontario Electrical Safety Code, ASHRAE standards, and client-specific design requirements to develop coordinated, code-compliant solutions.

- Guide projects through construction by responding to RFIs, reviewing shop drawings, conducting site visits, and resolving design and coordination issues.

- Coordinate closely with Mechanical, Architectural, and other disciplines to deliver integrated solutions across complex and multi-location projects.

- Champion technical quality through internal QA/QC processes, design reviews, and, where appropriate, the review and sealing of engineering drawings and other materials prepared by peers.

- Mentor and collaborate with engineers, designers, and draftspersons while maintaining effective communication with clients, contractors, and other project stakeholders.

Requirements:

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and registration as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.).

- 10+ years of electrical design experience, with demonstrated experience delivering building electrical systems.

- Advanced proficiency in Revit, along with proficiency in AutoCAD; experience with lighting calculation tools and power-system analysis software is an asset.

- Strong working knowledge of the Ontario Building Code (OBC), Ontario Electrical Safety Code, ASHRAE standards, and other applicable building and electrical requirements.

- Demonstrated ability to develop and review electrical designs across power distribution, lighting, emergency/life-safety, communications, fire alarm, and security systems.

- Experience supporting construction administration, including RFIs, shop-drawing reviews, site visits, and coordination with contractors and consultants.

- Experience coordinating multidisciplinary project teams and providing technical guidance to engineers, designers, and draftspersons.

- Ability to manage multiple assignments in a fast-paced environment while communicating technical information effectively with clients and project stakeholders.
