• Perform electrical calculations, including load calculations, voltage drop, panel schedules, feeder, and branch circuit sizing.
• Apply the Canadian Electrical Code, National Building Code, and other applicable standards to develop practical, compliant solutions.
• Assist with engineering studies, reports, cost estimates, and construction documentation.
• Support construction administration activities such as site reviews, shop drawing reviews, RFIs, and deficiency reporting.
• Work as part of multidisciplinary teams, continuously expanding your knowledge of building systems and engineering design.
• Contribute to all phases of project delivery, from concept design through construction completion.

Who you are:

• A degree in Electrical Engineering (registered or eligible as an EIT with APEGA) or a diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology.
• 2+ years of electrical design experience in building engineering consulting.
• Proficiency in Revit; working knowledge of AutoCAD.
• Proficiency in Bluebeam.
• A solid understanding of electrical building systems and code requirements.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative, team-first attitude.
• Self-motivation and a genuine interest in learning and growing your technical skills.

Nice to have:

• Experience with ETAP or other power system analysis software (short circuit, arc flash, coordination studies).
• Experience with ElumTools, AGi32, or other lighting design software.
• Familiarity with ANSI/BICSI communications standards.
• Familiarity with sustainable design frameworks such as LEED.

Don’t meet every single requirement? We still encourage you to apply! We’re looking for future DIALOGers who are eager to learn, bring unique perspectives, and want to make a real difference in the world—even if your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification.
