Intermediate Electrical Design Engineer – Building Consulting

Location: Ottawa, ON

Salary: $85,000 – $105,000 + Bonus

About The Opportunity

Ready to take the next step in your electrical engineering career?

TalentSphere Staffing Solutions is partnering with an established and growing multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm in Ottawa to recruit an Intermediate Electrical Design Engineer.

This opportunity is ideal for an electrical engineer or designer with a solid foundation in building systems who is ready to move beyond traditional design responsibilities and take greater ownership of projects.

Perhaps you're currently working within a larger engineering consultancy, contributing to complex projects but looking for more autonomy, direct client interaction, and opportunities to develop your leadership skills.

Our client offers the opportunity to manage projects from concept through completion, collaborate directly with clients, mentor junior team members, and play an active role in growing an electrical engineering practice.

You'll be joining a collaborative team where your technical expertise, ideas, and contributions are genuinely valued.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop electrical building systems for commercial, institutional, residential, and existing-building renewal projects.
Work on electrical distribution, lighting and lighting controls, emergency power, fire alarm, and life-safety systems.
Take ownership of projects from initial assessment and design through construction administration and completion.
Prepare electrical drawings, technical specifications, feasibility studies, design reports, and cost estimates.
Conduct site investigations, building assessments, and construction field reviews.
Collaborate with mechanical, structural, architectural, and other engineering disciplines to deliver coordinated solutions.
Communicate directly with clients, contractors, and project stakeholders to address technical requirements and project challenges.
Support project planning, scope development, budgeting, scheduling, and technical quality reviews.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and designers.
Contribute to proposals, engineering best practices, and the continued development of the electrical practice.

Qualifications & Experience

Degree in Electrical Engineering or diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology.
5–10 years of experience in electrical building systems design within an engineering consulting environment.
Experience designing electrical systems for commercial, institutional, residential, or building renovation and retrofit projects.
P.Eng designation in Ontario, or actively working toward registration with Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO).
Strong knowledge of applicable electrical codes, building codes, and industry standards.
Proficiency in AutoCAD; Revit and BIM experience are considered assets.
Experience producing electrical drawings, specifications, technical reports, and construction documentation.
Strong communication, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams.
Interest in developing project management, client relationship, and leadership capabilities.
Valid driver's licence and access to reliable transportation.

What's in It for You?

Competitive Compensation: Base salary of $80,000–$105,000, depending on experience .
Career Progression: A genuine opportunity to move into project leadership and take on greater responsibilities.
Project Ownership: More involvement in client relationships, technical decisions, and project delivery.
Professional Development: Opportunities to develop technical expertise, mentoring capabilities, and consulting leadership skills.
Long-Term Growth: Potential future opportunities for company share ownership.
Comprehensive Benefits: Health benefits, Health Care Spending Account, and Wellness Account.
Collaborative Culture: Join a supportive team that values initiative, professional growth, and knowledge sharing.

Who Would Be a Great Fit?

This opportunity would particularly appeal to an Intermediate Electrical Engineer or Electrical Designer currently working in building consulting engineering who:

Is ready to transition from primarily design-focused work into project ownership.
Wants greater exposure to clients, project management, and business development.
Enjoys working on building renovations, retrofits, and a variety of electrical engineering projects.
Is looking for a smaller, collaborative team environment with opportunities for professional growth.
Wants a clear path toward becoming a Senior Electrical Engineer or Project Manager.
