Job Description

The Opportunity

You’ll join our ERI – Resources team to design the electrical systems that keep mines and industrial facilities running safely and efficiently across Ontario.

What You Can Expect To Do Here

• Produce and update electrical drawings and models (single‑line diagrams, load lists, cable schedules, layouts) for process plants and mining facilities.
• Draft and coordinate in AutoCAD; collaborate in BIM environments where appropriate (Revit exposure is an asset).
• Assist with calculations (loads, short‑circuit/coordination inputs, equipment sizing), specifications, and material take‑offs.
• Support site activities—walkdowns, as‑built verification, and construction reviews—with a strong focus on safety.
• Work closely with engineers, designers, and project managers to meet scope, quality, and schedule expectations while following applicable codes and standards.
  
  
  

What You’ll Bring To WSP

• Diploma or Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 1–2 years of relevant electrical design experience; a previous co‑op term in an engineering consulting firm is preferred.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD; knowledge of Revit is an asset (BIM360 familiarity is a plus).
