Electrical Design Engineer – Drive Projects, Create Impact!

Our client, a well-established leader within the industrial processing sector, is seeking a driven and detail-oriented Electrical Engineer to join their project team. This role offers a dynamic opportunity to play a key part in the execution of capital projects—ranging in size and complexity—from early concept through to commissioning and handover to operations.

About the Role:

Reporting to the Engineering Manager and supporting Project Managers, you will be responsible for leading and coordinating the electrical engineering components of capital investment initiatives across multiple sites. This is a hands-on role that spans the full project lifecycle—from feasibility and design through construction, start-up, and operational transition.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Support the development and execution of electrical systems for greenfield and brownfield projects, process optimization, and facility upgrades.

  • Gather and interpret site-specific technical information, drawings, and flow diagrams.

  • Perform field surveys, create 3D scans, and document measurements.

  • Draft power distribution layouts, cable routing schematics, equipment lists, and instrumentation diagrams.

  • Develop engineering documentation for project estimates and procurement.

  • Collaborate with external engineering partners and contractors throughout design and execution.

  • Participate in safety, operability, and constructability reviews.

  • Ensure that construction and installation follow engineering specifications and best practices.

  • Provide field support during construction, commissioning, and system start-up.

  • Troubleshoot electrical systems and contribute to post-project evaluations.

  • Maintain organized project documentation and contribute to ongoing process improvements.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.

  • 2–7 years of experience in industrial electrical systems, controls, instrumentation, and capital project delivery.

  • Strong understanding of power systems, PLCs, control panels, HMI interfaces, and automation in an industrial setting.

  • Familiarity with electrical codes such as NEC and NFPA 70E.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; basic skills in AutoCAD preferred.

  • Ability to travel up to 50%, including extended stays at project sites.

  • Comfortable working in environments with exposure to extreme temperatures, noise, dust, and physical demands (e.g., heights, confined spaces, climbing).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in similar roles.

  • Graduate-level education or Professional Engineer (P.E.) license.

  • Background in mining, materials processing, or related industries.

  • Experience leading subcontractors or hourly personnel.

What’s In It For You:

  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package.

  • Health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.

  • 401(k) with employer match.

  • Generous paid time off and holiday policy.

  • Educational assistance for continued professional growth.

  • A values-driven team culture that fosters inclusion, safety, and innovation.
