CANUSA EPC is looking for an experiencedLead Electrical Designer to join our growing engineering team. We're looking for someone who brings strong technical expertise in electrical, instrumentation, and controls (EI&C) design, enjoys solving complex design challenges, and is ready to take ownership of projects while helping develop the next generation of designers. This is an opportunity to play a key role in delivering industrial engineering projects, collaborating with experienced engineers and designers, and contributing to a team that values technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement. You don't need to have experience with every system listed below. If you have a strong background in oil and gas facility design, can confidently develop and review electrical design packages, and enjoy mentoring others, we'd love to hear from you. What You’ll Do As a Lead Electrical Designer, you'll take ownership of electrical and instrumentation design deliverables across a variety of EPC projects, working closely with engineers, project managers, designers, and other technical disciplines. Lead Electrical & Instrumentation Design Independently develop detailed electrical, instrumentation, and controls construction drawing packages for oil and gas and other industrial facilities. Prepare comprehensive EI&C design packages using engineering inputs such as load lists, single-line diagrams, P&IDs, and plot plans. Develop electrical equipment layouts, cable and conduit routing, grounding plans, lighting layouts, and associated installation details. Design electrical and instrumentation systems with consideration for safety, constructability, maintainability, and applicable codes. Support power distribution, power delivery, and substation design activities as needed. Coordinate Projects & Deliverables Manage multiple design assignments while balancing project priorities, schedules, budgets, and client expectations. Coordinate with engineering disciplines to ensure designs are accurate, practical, and aligned with overall project requirements. Delegate design and drafting assignments appropriately while providing technical direction and support. Identify design challenges early and work collaboratively to develop effective solutions. Participate in design reviews and contribute to technical decisions throughout project execution. Maintain Quality & Develop the Team Review and check electrical and instrumentation drawings for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and compliance with project requirements. Perform QA/QC reviews of internal deliverables and provide technical feedback on vendor drawings. Ensure designs align with CANUSA EPC standards, client specifications, and applicable industry codes. Develop, maintain, and improve standard drawings, design details, and drafting practices. Mentor junior and intermediate designers, sharing technical knowledge and supporting their professional development.
