Overview

The Electrical Engineer will support the design and development of electrical systems for process-driven facilities, including water and wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations. This role is suited for a beginner-to-mid-level professional (2–5 years of experience) with foundational knowledge of industrial power systems and electrical infrastructure in treatment environments. The position provides opportunities for technical growth, with support and mentorship from experienced electrical engineering staff across North America.

Key Responsibilities

• Design power distribution systems for WTP/WWTP facilities and pumping stations, including coordination with process and mechanical systems.
• Develop motor control centers (MCCs), variable frequency drive (VFD) applications, and standby/backup power systems.
• Contribute to the design of low-, medium-, and high-voltage systems, including switchgear and substation components.
• Prepare electrical construction documents such as single-line diagrams, wiring schematics, panel layouts, and equipment schedules.
• Support the design of lighting systems, grounding systems, and control panels for industrial and municipal facilities.
• Coordinate with civil, structural, mechanical, and process teams to ensure integrated and constructible electrical designs.
• Assist in equipment selection and specification to meet project performance and reliability requirements.
• Participate in design reviews, address technical comments, and support quality assurance processes.
• Support arc flash studies and short-circuit/coordination studies (experience preferred but not required).
• Stay informed on applicable electrical codes and standards relevant to treatment plant and industrial facility design.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 2–5 years of experience in electrical design, preferably in industrial, municipal, or process-driven facilities such as WTP/WWTP plants or pumping stations.
• Experience designing power distribution systems, MCCs, VFDs, and backup power systems.
• Familiarity with low, medium, and high-voltage systems, including switchgear and substations.
• Experience preparing electrical construction documents (single-line diagrams, wiring schematics, equipment schedules).
• Knowledge of lighting, grounding, and control panel design principles.
• Arc flash study experience is an advantage but not mandatory.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to technical detail.
• Effective English communication skills and ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary project teams.
