Job Description
Industrial Power Systems | Kelowna, BC | Confidential Search
Most senior electrical engineers who move to the Okanagan take a step down in project complexity to do it. This role is the exception.
A growing industrial consultancy is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer for its Okanagan team. You will run studies and design packages for resource, processing, energy, and utility clients across the BC Interior, take projects from concept through energization, and help set how the technical work gets done.
What You Will Own
We will walk you through the company, project mix, team, and full compensation on a confidential call before anything is submitted.
