As an Electrical Engineering Project Lead, you'll play an important role in delivering projects from initial concept through construction.

Ideally, you will have:

• 3–8 years of professional experience in electrical engineering/design within the Canadian building consulting industry.
• Experience with building electrical systems, including power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, and low-voltage systems.

• Strong communication and coordination skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively while taking ownership of your responsibilities.

Commercial | Institutional | Healthcare | Mixed-Use | Retail | Recreational | Residential

You'll gain exposure to different project types, clients, consultants, and technical challenges rather than being limited to one particular sector.
