Bring your electrical design and estimating expertise to projects that are helping transform transit and fleet infrastructure as we’re looking for an Electrical Designer / Estimator to join our Bus, Transit & Fleet team.
In this role, you’ll contribute to the development of electrical systems for transit, fleet and related infrastructure projects, with a focus on low- and medium-voltage distribution, EV charging, solar PV integration, communications and sustainability-driven design. Working alongside multidisciplinary teams, you’ll translate conceptual designs into coordinated drawings, specifications and cost estimates that help move projects from preliminary studies through detailed engineering.

Your Impact

  • Develop electrical designs from preliminary studies through detailed engineering, contributing to practical and coordinated project solutions.
  • Prepare CAD and Revit drawings, including site plans, single-line diagrams, panel schedules, communication diagrams, equipment layouts and material takeoffs.
  • Apply low- and medium-voltage electrical distribution, control and protection principles to the development of electrical infrastructure designs.
  • Prepare electrical equipment and installation specifications under the supervision of a Professional Engineer.
  • Develop AACE Class 1 through Class 5 cost estimates across multiple disciplines, collaborating with technical specialists as required.
  • Conduct site electrical evaluations, analyses and system studies to support design development and project requirements.
  • Prepare and analyze bids and tender documents, supporting well-defined scopes and informed procurement decisions.
  • Deliver high-quality work within established project schedules while representing WSP professionally with clients and project stakeholders.

The Skills That Set You Apart

  • A diploma as an Engineering Technologist, a relevant trade certification, or an equivalent qualification.
  • 3+ years of relevant electrical design and drafting experience.
  • 3+ years of cost-estimating experience, with demonstrated experience preparing accurate project estimates.
  • Strong knowledge of 600 V and medium-voltage electrical distribution systems, including design and operation.
  • Strong working knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code and applicable local requirements.
  • Experience using CAD and/or Revit to develop electrical design documentation.
  • Professional proficiency in English, with the ability to communicate technical information clearly with project teams and clients.
