Electrical Engineering

This Opportunity

Provides experienced electrical engineering leadership for healthcare building projects, including new construction, renovations, infrastructure upgrades, and complex work in occupied clinical environments. This role serves as a day-to-day technical resource for the electrical team, helping connect project managers, technical leads, and production staff. The successful candidate will take ownership of technical design and production oversight, mentor developing engineers, support quality reviews, and represent WSP professionally with clients, contractors, and project partners. Responsibilities must be delivered with a level of quality that meets or exceeds applicable standards for design, safety, reliability, coordination, and functionality.

It is widely stated—and supported by studies—that candidates, especially women, are less likely to apply for a job unless they believe they meet 100% of the hiring criteria. WSP's talent acquisition goals include hiring the candidate who is best able to meet the performance objectives of the role. We therefore encourage persons with non-traditional skill sets and experiences to apply, even if you believe you do not meet 100% of the qualifications and hiring criteria described. 

Your Impact

• Serve as an experienced technical lead for healthcare electrical design projects, with emphasis on power distribution, lighting, normal and emergency systems, grounding, fire alarm coordination, and supporting infrastructure.

• Oversee day-to-day electrical design and production activities, coordinating priorities among project managers, technical leads, and production staff so work progresses accurately and efficiently.

• Take ownership of significant portions of the technical design, including calculations, equipment selection and sizing, one-line diagrams, plans, specifications, schedules, and technical documentation.

• Provide accessible, hands-on technical guidance to junior and developing engineers and designers; review their work, explain design decisions, and help build sound engineering judgment and consistent production practices.

• Perform and review electrical calculations, including load calculations, equipment and feeder sizing, short-circuit analysis, overcurrent protective device coordination, voltage drop, grounding, and related studies appropriate to building projects.

• Lead discipline coordination with mechanical, plumbing, architectural, structural, technology, medical equipment, and other project stakeholders, with particular attention to the operational constraints of healthcare facilities.

• Apply applicable electrical, building, energy, life safety, and healthcare facility codes and standards, and clearly document the basis of design and technical decisions.
