- Apply CEC, NFPA, and client standards; ensure work meets Hycroft QA/QC procedures
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
- 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
- Experience with low and medium voltage distribution, MCCs, transformers, or standby generation
- Exposure to PLC/DCS-based control system design
- Familiarity with Revit, Bluebeam, or BigTime
