- Participating in the preparation of construction drawings and specifications from the concept design phase through to construction completion.

- Support electrical engineers in the design and development of power distribution, lighting, communications, and control systems for commercial, industrial, and utility projects.

- Prepare detailed AutoCAD and Revit drawings, models, and documentation following EastPoint standards and project requirements.

- Perform electrical calculations such as demand, voltage drop, short circuit, and lighting levels for engineering review.

- Conduct site visits to gather field data, verify existing conditions, perform measurements, and support construction administration activities.

- Review shop drawings, RFIs, and contractor submissions and prepare recommendations or clarifications for engineering review.

- Coordinate with multidisciplinary project teams (civil, structural, mechanical, architectural, automation) to ensure design alignment and resolve clashes or integration issues.

- Maintain project documentation, drawing revisions, and design records in accordance with EastPoint procedures and quality standards.

- Participate in internal design reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of drafting standards, workflows, and templates.

- Support commissioning activities, including planning and oversight of functional and integrated systems performance testing.

- Communicate effectively with project managers, engineers, and clients to ensure project expectations, timelines, and deliverables are met.

- Adhere to safety policies, engineering standards, codes, and regulatory requirements relevant to project work.

- Preference will be given to candidates who are bilingual in English and French.
