About The Company

Our client is a well-established Canadian consulting engineering firm with a strong reputation in building systems design and multidisciplinary engineering.

They are currently looking to add an Electrical Designer to their Ottawa team. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative environment where you can continue developing your technical skills while gaining exposure to complex building projects and multidisciplinary design coordination.

The Opportunity

As an Electrical Designer, you will support the design and development of electrical building systems from the early design stages through construction. You will work closely with engineers, project managers, architects, mechanical and structural consultants, contractors, and other project stakeholders.

The role is well suited to an electrical building services professional with at least two years of industry experience who is looking to take on increasing responsibility, strengthen their technical capabilities, and grow within a collaborative consulting environment.

Review multidisciplinary models and drawings to identify clashes, coordination issues, and space constraints.
Participate in BIM coordination, model reviews, clash resolution, and model quality checks.
Coordinate design requirements with architects, engineers, consultants, suppliers, and manufacturers.
Review electrical services for potential conflicts with ceilings, structure, millwork, and other building components.
Assist with the preparation and review of technical documentation, drawings, and project deliverables.
Participate in project and technical meetings as required.
Support construction administration through shop drawing reviews, site visits, field reviews, change notices, and responses to construction-related queries.
Communicate project and design status to project managers and senior team members.
Contribute to internal quality control and maintain project documentation in accordance with established standards.

Qualifications & Experience

Minimum 2 years of experience in electrical building services, ideally within a consulting engineering or design environment.
Diploma or degree in electrical engineering, electrical engineering technology, or a related building services discipline.
C.E.T. designation or equivalent experience is considered an asset.
Practical experience with electrical building systems and multidisciplinary building coordination.
Experience using Autodesk Revit for electrical layouts and building systems design.
Working knowledge of AutoCAD; exposure to AutoCAD MEP, Navisworks Manage, and Dynamo is an asset.
Familiarity with electrical distribution, lighting, fire alarm, security, communications, or audiovisual systems.
Ability to perform or support electrical load and lighting calculations.
Understanding of applicable Canadian building codes and electrical standards.
Strong attention to detail, organization, and time management.
Comfortable managing multiple priorities and working toward project deadlines.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
A demonstrated interest in continued technical development and career progression.

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to join an established engineering consulting environment where you can work on meaningful building projects while developing your technical capabilities alongside experienced engineers and designers.

The role offers exposure to multidisciplinary projects, hands-on design responsibilities, opportunities for mentorship, and a clear environment for continued professional growth.
