Electrical Engineer – Quality Assurance

Electrical Engineer – Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)

Salary Range: $75,000 to $95,000

Location: North York, ON, Canada

Type: Full Time, Permanent

About the Role

We are seeking a technically strong and detail-oriented Electrical Engineer with a passion for design excellence, quality, and mentorship to join our engineering team in a QA/QC-focused role.

This is not a traditional quality assurance position. It is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys serving as a technical leader across multiple projects, improving engineering standards, mentoring design teams, solving complex technical challenges, and enhancing the overall quality of engineering deliverables within a consulting environment.

The successful candidate will play a key role in reviewing electrical design deliverables, ensuring compliance with applicable codes, standards, and client requirements, while promoting consistent design quality across a diverse portfolio of projects. This position is well suited for someone with a strong technical foundation who is committed to continuous improvement and engineering excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical QA/QC reviews for electrical building systems projects throughout all phases of design and construction.
• Review and validate electrical drawings, specifications, calculations, BIM models, and engineering documentation for technical accuracy, constructability, coordination, and code compliance.
• Provide technical guidance to designers and engineers related to power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, grounding, life safety, emergency power, and low-voltage systems.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams to resolve complex design issues and improve project quality.
• Support the development and continuous improvement of engineering standards, QA/QC procedures, templates, and best practices.
• Participate in multidisciplinary coordination meetings and BIM-based design workflows.
• Contribute to lessons learned initiatives, technical training sessions, and continuous improvement programs.
• Support construction administration activities, including responding to RFIs, conducting site reviews, reviewing shop drawings, and resolving field-related issues.
• Promote technical consistency across projects while accommodating unique client and project requirements.
• Mentor junior and intermediate engineering staff through technical guidance and knowledge sharing.
• Perform quality reviews of electrical drawings, specifications, reports, and calculations during Concept, Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documentation phases.
• Verify compliance with internal quality standards and ensure consistency across drawing packages, documentation, and engineering deliverables.
• Participate in internal quality audits and support engineering quality initiatives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution.
• Minimum of five (5) years of experience in electrical building systems design or consulting engineering, including technical review or QA/QC responsibilities.
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation or eligibility for registration is considered an asset.
• Strong knowledge of building electrical systems, including lighting, power distribution, fire alarm, grounding, life safety, emergency power, and low-voltage systems.
• Thorough understanding of applicable electrical codes, standards, and regulations.
• Proficiency in interpreting electrical drawings, design specifications, calculations, and technical reports.
• Experience using AutoCAD, Revit (BIM), and electrical engineering analysis and calculation software.
• Familiarity with BIM workflows and multidisciplinary coordination processes.
• Experience with various project delivery methods, including Design-Build and Public-Private Partnership (P3) projects, is an asset.
• Excellent attention to detail, analytical thinking, organizational, communication, and technical writing skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while working collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package.
• Flexible or hybrid work arrangements, where applicable.
• Paid vacation and sick leave.
• Health and wellness programs.
• Professional membership and continuing education reimbursement.
• Career development, technical training, and professional growth opportunities.
• Employee referral program.
