About Helio Urban Development

We're a design-build company specializing in small multi-unit developments (4-12 units) optimized for CMHC MLI Select. We build every project ourselves using standardized, modular designs—same floor plans, same electrical loads, same simple residential systems.

We need an electrical engineer for occasional contract work as our projects scale. Clean, fast electrical packages for straightforward residential buildings.

The Work

Scope per project:

- Service entrance design and load calculations

- Panel schedules and basic residential layouts

- Exterior lighting design with photometric analysis

- Code compliance documentation

- Integration with our architectural and civil packages

Typical turnaround: 5-7 business days per project

Volume: 2-4 electrical packages annually (growing as we scale)

Project type: Simple Part 9 residential - no complex systems, just clean electrical design for small apartment buildings

What Makes This Attractive

Standardized templates: After your first project, subsequent ones become faster and more profitable as you refine your standard approach

Quick money: Small scope, fast turnaround, good compensation for the time investment

No project management headaches: We handle permitting, coordination, construction - you just deliver stamped electrical drawings

High-performance team: Work with other results-driven professionals who respect your time and expertise

Growth potential: If you can handle other disciplines (HVAC, structural, plumbing), significantly more work available

Compensation

Fixed fee per project - quote your rate for a typical 5-unit building electrical package

Fast-pay: Net 15 payment terms

Repeat client: Steady work as we scale, predictable scope

Requirements

- P.Eng. (Electrical) licensed in Nova Scotia + Certificate of Compliance

- 3+ years residential electrical design experience

- Proficient with electrical design software and photometric analysis tools

- Proven track record of clean electrical permits in NS municipalities

- Available for occasional 5-7 day turnarounds

Major Bonus

Multi-discipline capability: If you can also handle HVAC, structural, or plumbing engineering, we have significantly more contract work available. Our ideal scenario is working with fewer engineers who can cover multiple disciplines.
