- Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or eligibility to register with EGBC
- 5–10 years of industrial electrical design experience (oil & gas, mining, or process plants)
- Working knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code and hazardous area classification
- Proficient with AutoCAD and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Project, Teams)
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities with limited supervision
- Strong communication, planning, and organizational skills
Nice to Have
