Intermediate Electrical (EIC) Designer
About The Position
Lauren is a full-service EPCM firm supporting the Energy sector across feasibility, engineering, detailed design, construction, and operations. The Calgary team is composed of technically strong designers and engineers who prioritize clarity, quality, and teamwork. This role is for an Intermediate Electrical & Controls (EIC) Designer with 3–7 years of hands‑on industrial project experience who can own EIC design deliverables, understands the integration of electrical and controls systems in the field, and wishes to deepen their technical expertise within an EPCM environment. The position will support Oil & Gas and industrial energy projects, collaborating with engineers, senior designers, project managers, and other disciplines to produce comprehensive, coordinated, and construction-ready designs. This is an active design role, not solely drafting, requiring an understanding of the rationale behind design choices.
Requirements
- 3–7 years of EIC design experience on industrial or energy projects
- A Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology or Electrical Design
- Hands‑on experience producing electrical and controls deliverables
- Strong working knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
- Solid proficiency in AutoCAD
- Experience interfacing with control systems, panels, PLCs, and DCS
- The ability to manage multiple design tasks without losing detail
Nice To Haves
- 3D AutoCAD experience
- Experience with industrial power systems and control system architecture
- Experience with control panels, marshaling cabinets, and panel layouts
- Experience with brownfield projects and retrofit work
- Experience in multi‑project EPCM environments with parallel deadlines
- Experience coordinating EIC scope across mechanical, process, and instrumentation
Responsibilities
- Developing EIC design packages from early design through IFC.
- Designing electrical and controls systems including power distribution, lighting, grounding, and industrial area layouts.
- Routing cable trays and creating coordinated layouts.
- Producing single line diagrams, wiring diagrams, schematics, loop drawings, and I/O.
- Creating control panel and marshaling cabinet layouts.
- Generating PLC / DCS interface drawings and ensuring control architecture alignment.
- Performing AutoCAD and AutoCAD 3D design and model coordination.
- Creating electrical load lists, cable schedules, equipment, and device lists.
- Compiling bills of materials (BOMs) and design documentation packages.
- Conducting design calculations such as voltage drop, cable sizing, tray fill, lighting levels, and heat tracing.
- Coordinating EIC design across disciplines to ensure constructability.
- Identifying scope gaps, clashes, or inconsistencies early.
- Applying the Canadian Electrical Code correctly and practically.
- Supporting internal design reviews and QC processes.
- Taking ownership of work, asking clarifying questions, and escalating issues regarding buildability.
Benefits
- Hybrid work model – flexibility with structure
- Technical leadership that supports growth and learning
- Realistic project schedules with a focus on quality
- A culture where intermediate designers are trusted and challenged
- Technically interesting, real‑world projects
- A team that respects EIC design and field realities
- Less bureaucracy, more accountability
- Clear paths to grow technically and professionally
