Professional Services Supervisor
Job Type:
Full-Time
Work Location:
In Person
Position Overview
The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design and engineering of power generation and distribution systems (up to 15 kV), building electrical systems (up to 600 V), and control wiring for both hazardous and non-hazardous environments.
This role works closely with sales, project management, design, procurement, fabrication, and service teams to deliver safe, code-compliant, and cost-effective electrical solutions. The successful candidate will also serve as a technical authority, ensuring engineering quality, compliance, and continuous improvement across projects.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the engineering and design of electrical systems, including sizing and selecting components such as switchgear, transformers, MCCs, protection relays, VFDs, breakers, and motor starters.
Perform detailed electrical calculations (load flow, short circuit, cable sizing, grounding, etc.) in accordance with applicable codes and project specifications.
Prepare, review, and validate engineering deliverables including schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and complete drawing packages.
Develop electrical cost estimates during both pre-sale and post-sale project stages.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams throughout the project lifecycle to ensure alignment on scope, budget, and technical requirements.
Establish, refine, and enforce internal engineering standards and best practices.
Develop and maintain internal engineering tools (e.g., cable sizing calculators, breaker sizing models) to improve design efficiency and consistency.
Act as the technical authority for electrical design by reviewing and verifying engineering documentation.
Authenticate electrical drawings and documents in compliance with APEGA requirements.
Provide troubleshooting support and technical guidance during fabrication, assembly, testing, and commissioning.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to ongoing engineering process improvements.
Qualifications & Experience
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in good standing with APEGA.
Minimum of 8 years of experience in industrial power systems and hazardous-area electrical design.
Proven experience designing power generation systems (up to 15 kV) and building electrical systems (up to 600 V).
Strong background in specifying and sizing key electrical components (switchgear, transformers, MCCs, protection relays, VFDs, breakers, motor starters, etc.).
Proficient in performing electrical calculations in compliance with relevant codes and project standards.
Experience preparing and reviewing detailed engineering deliverables.
Demonstrated experience estimating electrical project costs.
Hands‑on experience with motors, instrumentation, and control wiring, including intrinsically safe and non‑incendive systems.
Experience working in a fabrication environment, translating designs into manufacturable systems.
Proven ability to develop internal engineering tools or improve engineering processes.
Demonstrated leadership and mentorship experience.
Strong collaboration, communication, and problem‑solving skills in fast‑paced, high‑pressure environments.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in oil & gas, energy, or power generation industries.
Familiarity with heat tracing systems.
Experience leading engineering standardization or process improvement initiatives.
Experience influencing cross‑functional teams and resolving internal conflicts.
