Job Title: Senior Electrical Designer
Department, Group: Operations, Electrical
Reports To: Team Lead, Electrical
Job Overview:
Juno Engineering Canada Inc. (Juno) is an EPC consulting firm specializing in electrical, instrumentation, and controls (EIC) solutions for industrial energy facilities across Western Canada. We are currently seeking a Senior Electrical Designer to support the development, coordination, and quality of E&I drawing deliverables produced by our internal design and drafting team.
In this full-time role, you will serve as a senior technologist responsible for producing and coordinating construction-ready E&I drawings in alignment with the Engineer of Record’s (EOR) design requirements. You will play a key role in guiding drafting efforts, ensuring consistency and accuracy, and supporting project delivery through your technical expertise.
Key Responsibilities:
Technical Drawing Development & Coordination:
- Own the complete suite of E&I drawings for each project - including single‑line diagrams, AC/DC schematics, wiring and interconnection diagrams, cable & tray routing plans, grounding & lighting layouts, heat‑trace details, instrument loop diagrams, hookup sheets, junction‑box schedules, control‑panel GAs, and other circuit drawings.
- Develop and maintain the drawing index, title‑block metadata, and document‑control register; coordinate revision sequencing with the Document Controller.
- Translate redlines, mark‑ups, and design calculations from discipline engineers and the EOR into constructible, code‑compliant drawings.
- Lead multidisciplinary model & drawing reviews (30/60/90 % and IFC) focusing on drawing clarity, clash resolution, and constructability.
- Integrate inputs from process, mechanical, civil/structural, and automation teams into cohesive E&I drawing sets.
Design Standards & Quality Assurance:
- Establish Juno’s design standards, symbol libraries, and annotation practices across AutoCAD Electrical and 3‑D raceway modelling platforms.
- Perform thorough drawing checks and sign‑offs prior to Issued‑for‑Review (IFR), Issued‑for‑Approval (IFA), and Issued‑for‑Construction (IFC) submissions.
- Implement continuous improvement of drafting templates, automated report generation (e.g., cable schedules, loop lists), and drawing production workflows.
- Manage as‑built drawing updates during construction and turnover.
Mentorship & Team Leadership:
- Provide day‑to‑day technical guidance and training to designers, drafters, and co‑op students, fostering a culture of accuracy and attention to detail.
- Delegate work packages, set priorities, and review output for adherence to standards and project requirements.
- Champion knowledge‑sharing sessions on code changes (CEC Part I, ISA standards, IEC 60079) and best‑practice detailing techniques.
Interface with Engineering & Construction:
- Work closely with project engineers to clarify design assumptions, cable sizing, load lists, and hazardous‑area requirements.
- Support construction teams by rapidly issuing field clarification sketches and incorporating site mark‑ups.
- Participate in model walk‑downs, verifications, and plant tie‑in surveys to capture existing conditions accurately.
Qualifications and Requirements:
Education & Professional Registration:
- Electrical or Instrumentation Engineering Technology diploma (T‑level) or equivalent journeyperson drafting qualification.
- 10 + years of industrial E&I design and drafting experience on energy‑sector projects, with at least 5 years leading drawing production teams.
- Eligible for registration as a C.E.T. (ASET) or P.Tech.(Eng.) / P.L.(Eng.) in Alberta.
Technical Skills:
- Demonstrated experience working under - and accountable to - an Engineer of Record for drawing authentication.
- Deep understanding of CEC Part I, CSA C22.2 standards, ISA instrumentation symbology, and IEC 60079 or API 505 hazardous‑area classification documents.
- Proven ability to produce:
- Single‑line up to 5 kV & grounding diagrams
- Detailed wiring and termination diagrams for MCCs, VFDs, PLC/DCS panels
- Instrument loop drawings, hookup sheets, and junction‑box termination plans
- 3‑D cable‑tray models with clash detection and bill of materials
- SR & MI Electrical trace‑heating circuit layouts, schedules, and isometric drawings
Non-Technical Skills:
- Exceptional attention to detail and zero‑defect mindset.
- Clear communication and ability to explain design concepts to junior team members.
- Strong organizational skills for simultaneous multi‑project workloads.
- Alignment with Juno’s values: safety, indigenous inclusion, technical excellence, and environmental responsibility.
Working Environment:
- Calgary‑based hybrid role (minimum 2 days/week in office).
- Field/site verification trips up to 10 % (occasionally remote, fly‑in/fly‑out).
- Must safely navigate industrial environments and wear required PPE.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive salary commensurate with senior technical lead roles.
- Performance bonus and company deferred profit‑sharing plan (RRSP Matching).
- Comprehensive health & dental plan,
- Paid professional dues, continuing‑education support, and negotiable compressed work schedule.
