Job Description
What if you could redefine what’s possible? With us, you can.
You want Purpose. Growth. Opportunity. People who get it.
We are the home of ambitious, passionate, and innovative world shapers.
With an unmatched breadth and depth of engineering, advisory and science-based expertise, our global minds unite to power local solutions. We are pathfinders and impact makers.
We are Visioneers. We are WSP.
The Opportunity
Build the Future With Us – Step into a role where your technical expertise helps shape energy systems across Canada. From emerging low‑carbon initiatives to major facility design, you’ll contribute to projects that support energy transition, sustainability, and resilient infrastructure across the country.
WSP’s Energy & Process team works coast‑to‑coast, delivering integrated solutions for upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, as well as new and evolving energy markets. As an Electrical and Controls Designer, you’ll join our dynamic Process & Energy Electrical Group and collaborate with multidisciplinary experts to bring impactful, future‑ready projects to life.
This role can be based in any WSP office across Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, or the Atlantic provinces.
Your Impact
- Review P&IDs and transform them into clear, accurate electrical drawings and specifications.
- Generate complete electrical drawing packages for approval, bid, and construction, including single‑line diagrams, schematics, lighting design, control panel details, heat trace design and more.
- Apply engineering and construction standards to evaluate RFQs, quotations, purchase orders, and electrical contract documents.
- Mark up vendor package/skid drawings to meet project specifications and ensure seamless integration across disciplines.
- Provide practical wiring details and technical guidance to support electrical contractors in the field.
- Offer responsive field support during construction, ensuring issues are resolved quickly and safely.
- Coordinate closely with mechanical, process, civil, structural and other teams to achieve shared project goals.
- Prepare requisitions, review BOMs, and contribute to high‑quality deliverables that keep complex projects moving forward.
The Skills That Set You Apart
- A technical diploma in electrical engineering technology or a related discipline from a recognized post‑secondary institution.
- 5+ years of hands‑on experience in electrical design, ideally within consulting or EPC environments. Candidates with less experience are also invited to apply in consideration for other opportunities.
- Experience supporting heavy industrial projects — exposure to oil & gas, gas compression, processing facilities, or energy transition projects is a strong asset.
- Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD; experience with 3D CADD tools is an advantage.
- A detail‑oriented, solutions‑focused mindset with the ability to work collaboratively in a fast‑paced, multidisciplinary environment.
- A genuine desire to contribute to projects that support climate adaptation, decarbonization, and resilient energy systems.
