Position Description

Tetranex is seeking a full-time Electrical Lead (Engineering) to join our growing electrical team. This role is suited to an experienced electrical engineer who enjoys hands-on technical work, collaboration with other senior engineers, and taking ownership of electrical engineering scopes across multiple projects.

Working alongside a team of experienced electrical engineers and reporting to the Electrical Engineering Manager, you will provide technical leadership on assigned projects, coordinating electrical deliverables, guiding engineering and design resources, and ensuring high-quality technical outcomes. Depending on project requirements, you may take on the role of Electrical Technical Lead, serving as the primary technical lead for the electrical scope while collaborating closely with Project Managers and other engineering disciplines.

This is an opportunity to contribute your technical expertise, take on project-specific leadership responsibilities, and work within a collaborative team that values quality, knowledge sharing, and professional development.

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor electrical engineers and designers in delivering electrical engineering scopes across multiple projects, from design through completion.
• Plan and coordinate electrical engineering deliverables, resource requirements, schedules, man-hour budgets, and progress reporting across assigned projects.
• Develop electrical scopes of work, man-hour estimates, technical proposals, and engineering execution plans.
• Provide technical leadership and ensure electrical designs meet project requirements, applicable codes, industry standards, and quality requirements.
• Coordinate with Project Managers, clients, suppliers, subcontractors, and multidisciplinary teams to resolve technical issues and manage changes to the electrical scope.
• Participate in project status meetings with clients, Project Managers, and suppliers to communicate electrical scope progress, priorities, and technical issues.
• Review and approve electrical drawings, calculations, equipment specifications, vendor submissions, and other engineering deliverables.
• Oversee electrical system studies, including load calculations, voltage drop, cable tray fill, electric heat tracing (EHT), and ETAP/SKM analyses.

Requirements

• An Electrical Engineering Degree with 10 or more years of progressive electrical engineering and design experience, preferably in the energy industry.

• Strong knowledge of electrical codes, industry standards, regulatory requirements, and engineering design practices.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel.
• Experience with electrical design calculations, equipment specifications, technical evaluations, and engineering software such as ETAP or SKM.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary engineering and design teams.
