Electrical Engineer - Mining & Industrial

We have an opportunity for an Intermediate Electrical Engineer in a full-time position on AECOM Canada’s Mining and Industrial team in Burnaby, BC.

You have an opportunity to join AECOM an end-to-end provider of sustainable engineering services for major projects and supporting existing operations.  You can make a difference by becoming a valued member of our team as we deliver on our goal to make the world a better place.

The Intermediate Electrical Engineer role will require an individual with at least 5 years as an engineer in an engineering firm or relatable environment.  The individual will have a good knowledge of electrical design requirements allowing the individual to work as part of a remote team.  The individual is expected to work with some autonomy but with sufficient self-confidence to understand when to seek guidance from a Senior Electrical Engineer.  The ability to understand written scopes of work, the ability to coordinate work meticulously as part of a team and the willingness to be responsible for the quality of your own work is essential.

The individual should have sufficient background to understand the steps associated with a complete electrical design – communicating a need for additional details or standards where their experience and knowledge of typical construction details for mining or heavy industrial related electrical works projects requires supplemental information. 

The Intermediate Electrical Engineer will adhere to AECOM or client standards for design and will work under the direction of the Senior Engineer or Lead Engineers.  The Intermediate Engineer will have the ability to manage their time to prepare deliverables in accordance with project schedule and budget.

The Intermediate Electrical Engineer will collaborate in a team and can assist in the improvement of standard methods and procedures.  It is expected that the Intermediate Engineer will identify their training needs to the Senior Electrical Engineer or Team Lead to allow AECOM to focus investments appropriately to advance the Intermediate Engineer’s career in alignment with our mining group strategic requirements.
