Electrical Designer

Help Design the Power Systems That Keep Critical Industries Running

Are you an Electrical Designer looking for an opportunity to work on complex, custom-engineered projects from concept to completion?

Join a growing team focused on delivering innovative power distribution and control solutions that support critical infrastructure across a variety of industries. This is an opportunity to apply your technical expertise, collaborate with experienced professionals, and see your designs move from the drawing board into real-world operation.

You'll work on challenging projects, contribute to meaningful technical solutions, and play a key role in developing products that power industrial facilities, utilities, advanced technology applications, and other essential operations.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design custom power distribution and control solutions tailored to customer and project requirements.
• Develop detailed electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, layouts, single-line drawings, and manufacturing documentation.
• Translate customer specifications and technical requirements into practical, manufacturable designs.
• Select and integrate electrical components and systems to ensure reliable, safe, and efficient operation.
• Perform technical calculations and design assessments to support product performance and compliance.
• Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), technical documentation, and design records throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support manufacturing, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting activities to ensure successful project execution.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary project teams to deliver high-quality solutions on schedule.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on product quality, design efficiency, and innovation.
  
  

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work on custom-engineered projects rather than repetitive, standardized designs.
• Be involved throughout the entire project lifecycle, from design and development through manufacturing and implementation.
• Gain exposure to a diverse range of industries and applications.
• Work alongside experienced engineering and technical professionals in a highly collaborative environment.
• Opportunity to expand your technical expertise and contribute to innovative solutions.
• Join an organization that values professional development and long-term career growth.
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Degree, diploma, or equivalent education in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related discipline.
• Experience designing industrial electrical systems, power distribution equipment, control systems, or similar products.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical.
• Strong understanding of electrical schematics, power distribution systems, and electrical design principles.
• Experience creating and maintaining Bills of Materials (BOMs) and technical documentation.
• Ability to work effectively within a collaborative engineering and manufacturing environment.
• Strong communication skills and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting manufacturing, testing, commissioning, or field troubleshooting activities.
• Knowledge of applicable electrical codes, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Experience working within a product development or manufacturing environment.
• Familiarity with continuous improvement initiatives and design-for-manufacturing principles.
  
  

What You'll Get

• Flexible hybrid work environment.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Employer-matched retirement savings program.
• Ongoing professional development and learning opportunities.
• Supportive, team-oriented culture.
• Opportunity to work on impactful projects that make a tangible difference.
  
  

If you're looking for a role where you can tackle challenging technical work, collaborate with a great team, and contribute to projects that power critical industries, we'd love to hear from you.
