About the role

Join the engineering team at CEC Mining Systems and AMIX Systems and take industrial equipment from design to operation. We are seeking an Electrical Designer or Electrical Engineer with at least three years of experience in electrical, controls and instrumentation design.

You will contribute throughout the project life cycle, from bid support and detailed design to panel fabrication, factory acceptance testing and on-site commissioning. Working with our process, mechanical and project management teams, you will deliver complete electrical packages, support PLC and HMI development, and help bring equipment into service at client sites in Canada and internationally.

Mining experience is an asset. We also welcome candidates from manufacturing, industrial automation, process, power, water and wastewater, oil and gas, EPC and consulting backgrounds. If you enjoy seeing your designs built, tested and running in the field, we would like to hear from you.

What you will do

Electrical design

- Prepare complete electrical drawing packages for projects and bids, including single-line diagrams, schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, cable schedules and bills of materials (BOMs).
- Size and specify motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), motor control centres (MCCs), starters, transformers, protection devices, cables and field instruments.
- Prepare and maintain motor load lists, instrument lists and I/O lists.
- Redline and update in-house and vendor drawings, maintaining document and revision control.
- Ensure designs comply with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA standards, applicable international codes such as IEC and NEC, and client specifications.

Controls and instrumentation





- Develop functional specifications and control narratives aligned with piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs;).
- Support PLC and HMI development and modification.
- Configure control networks and industrial communication systems, such as EtherNet/IP, Modbus and Profinet.

Fabrication, testing and commissioning

- Oversee fabrication, quality assurance and testing of control panels and junction boxes, both in-house and at vendor facilities.
- Lead or support factory acceptance testing (FAT) before shipment.
- Travel to client and project sites in Canada and internationally to support installation, energization, commissioning, troubleshooting and service.
- Lead electrical, controls and instrumentation activities on site as required.

Projects and proposals

- Ensure electrical, controls and instrumentation designs meet client and plant requirements and address comments from the owner's engineer.
- Review vendor quotations and documentation, prepare technical bid evaluations and support RFQ packages.
- Support proposals, cost estimates and technical reports, confirming that each bid's electrical scope meets client requirements.
- Participate in HAZID and HAZOP reviews.
- Prepare control philosophies, functional descriptions, operation and maintenance (O&M;) manuals, and standard operating procedures.
- Collaborate with process, mechanical, structural and project management teams to deliver integrated designs.

Continuous improvement

- Improve standard designs, calculation templates and automation solutions, including remote monitoring and control.
- Contribute to the ongoing development of our equipment and product lines.

What you bring





- A degree in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation and Controls Engineering, or a related discipline. A diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology combined with strong design experience will also be considered.
- EIT or P.Eng. registration, or eligibility, is an asset.
- At least three years of experience in electrical, controls and instrumentation design in an industrial setting, such as manufacturing, automation, process plants, power, water and wastewater, oil and gas, mining, EPC, consulting or packaged-system (OEM) manufacturing.
- Hands-on experience producing single-line diagrams, schematics, panel layouts, cable schedules and BOMs using AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN or an equivalent tool.
- Working knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code and CSA standards. Familiarity with IEC, NEC or UL requirements is an asset.
- Experience with motor control, VFDs, field instrumentation, and control panel design and fabrication.
- Exposure to PLC and HMI programming or troubleshooting, preferably on Allen-Bradley or Siemens platforms.
- Experience with quality assurance, inspection and testing protocols, including FAT or site commissioning.
- Ability to read and interpret P&IDs;, general arrangement drawings, specifications and vendor documents.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and as part of a small, multidisciplinary team.
