As the Mechanical Designer 2, you will be responsible for the design of distribution transformers with customization and small power transformers with a high level of customization.

This position follows standards: CSA C227.3

- C227.4
- C227.5
- C2.1
- C88. This role calls for a designer who can blend technical precision with practical problem-solving—someone who can translate complex customer requirements into accurate transformer designs, calculations, drawings, and production-ready documentation. Solid competencies include mechanical design judgment, attention to detail, standards compliance, cross-functional collaboration, and adaptability under pressure, especially when supporting Sales, Electrical Engineering, Purchasing, QA, and production teams. The ideal person is equal parts engineer, detective, communicator, and craftsperson: curious enough to catch what others miss, disciplined enough to follow CSA/ISO requirements, and collaborative enough to keep custom projects moving smoothly from concept to as-built documentation.

WHAT YOU WILL DO - Design distribution transformers (customized) and small power transformers (highly customized) in accordance with applicable CSA standards.

- Create Initial Customer Documentation (ICD), including outline/legend/nameplate drawings and other customer-requested documents (e.g., decals).
- Perform required design calculations (e.g., tank weights, pressure, center of gravity; and other mechanical integrity checks).
- Produce detailed mechanical designs (internal clamp/unit assembly and external tank assembly) and release outputs to Sales/Purchasing/QA; create nameplates for production.
- Support production through schedule-based design clarifications, documentation updates/revisions, NCR involvement, and final as-built documentation. WHAT IT TAKES - Undergraduate Degree in Engineering




- Mechanical is an asset.
- Requires an engineering degree with design component.
- P. Eng is preferred.
- 3-5 years of experience in mechanical designing.
- Demonstrated experience with 3D parametric solid modeling (i.e., CREO, WindChill, 3D AutoCAD).
- Knowledge of databases (i.e. SAP, Project Lifecycle Management DB’, Microsoft Suite).
- Demonstrated attention to detail is required.
- Skilled/technical knowledge & customer service.
- Previous transformer design related experience is an asset.
- Ability to work at sustained pace and produce quality work.
- Ability to work well in a fast-paced environment and adapt to change.
- Ability to work cooperatively and effectively with others.
- Must be able to obtain and maintain a satisfactory Criminal Record Check for the duration of employment.
