About the opportunity
Electromechanical engineer specializing in industrial systems.

Full-Time

You designed it. Now see it get built.

What if your engineering work didn’t end when the drawing was complete?

We’re working with an established Canadian engineering and manufacturing company that designs and builds VFDs, motor control systems, switchgear, industrial control panels, and automation solutions used in demanding industrial applications across North America.

This is an opportunity for an engineer who wants to be close to the product. You’ll take electrical designs and turn them into practical, buildable systems while working directly with production, suppliers, and other engineers.

You’ll solve real-world problems, improve designs and processes, and see your work move from schematic to finished product.

The Opportunity
This role sits at the intersection of engineering and production. You’ll be responsible for:

Converting electrical schematics into physical, build-ready layouts

Designing enclosures, component placement, and panel layouts for VFDs, MCCs, switchgear, and industrial control systems

Developing electrical and mechanical layouts using EPLAN

Creating drawings, BOMs, assembly instructions, and shop-ready documentation

Working directly with production to ensure designs are practical and manufacturable

Troubleshooting design and assembly issues during production

Supporting testing and validation

Working with suppliers and vendors on component selection

Improving design standards, processes, and production efficiency

Applying Design for Manufacturing (DFM/DFX) principles

What You’ll Bring
Engineering Background





Degree in Electromechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering

Registered or eligible for E.I.T. or P.Eng. designation

5–10 years of relevant engineering experience

Experience with panel design, VFDs, MCCs and/or switchgear

Strong understanding of electrical system integration

Experience with mechanical layouts and enclosure design

Practical understanding of manufacturing and production workflows

Technical Skills

EPLAN experience is highly preferred

AutoCAD Electrical is an asset

Experience in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing

Experience with multi-level BOMs and product structures

Experience developing assembly and work instructions

Strong understanding of DFM/DFX

Lean or Six Sigma experience is an asset

NetSuite or other ERP experience is a plus

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You

Enjoy understanding how things are actually built, not just how they look on a drawing

Like solving problems directly with production teams

Notice opportunities to make designs simpler, cleaner, and easier to manufacture

Take pride in seeing your designs become finished products

Enjoy working across engineering, production, and suppliers

Want to continue developing technically while having a visible impact on the business





What Success Looks Like
Within your first 12–24 months, you’ll have helped strengthen the connection between engineering and production.

Success will include:

Clearer and more build-ready designs

Less rework and fewer production errors

More consistent design standards and processes

Improved production efficiency

Stronger collaboration between engineering and production

Higher overall design and execution quality

Most importantly, you’ll be able to walk onto the shop floor and see products you helped design being built.

Compensation & Benefits
$100,000–$120,000 base salary, with flexibility for the right candidate.

Plus:

Performance-based bonus

Extended health and dental benefits

RRSP matching

Paid time off for personal wellness

Ongoing training and professional development

Team events and team-oriented working environment

Opportunity for increasing technical responsibility and career growth

Career Growth
This is more than a role focused on producing drawings.

As you establish yourself, you’ll have the opportunity to take on greater technical responsibility and become a key contributor in design quality, manufacturability, process improvement, and production execution.

Ready to Build Something Better?
If you’re an engineer who wants to see your work move from schematic to finished product, this could be worth a conversation.

If you enjoy practical engineering, solving real-world problems, and working closely with the people who build what you design, we’d like to hear from you.
