SENIOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEER/SENIOR ASSOCIATE

Division Lead

Vancouver, BC

Compensation: $160 - 180K, Bonus + Profit Share

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are partnering with a leading, design-driven multidisciplinary firm to appoint a Senior Electrical Engineering Leader to their Vancouver studio.

This is a career-defining opportunity for someone who is passionate about design excellence, motivated to lead and grow a team, and eager to play a key role in shaping the future of a well-established, highly respected practice.

You won’t just deliver projects—you’ll help build and lead an electrical engineering division, influence strategy, and elevate design integration across a diverse and impactful portfolio.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

  • Lead complex electrical design across high-profile, design-forward projects
  • Drive a design-first approach, integrating engineering seamlessly with architecture
  • Mentor, grow, and lead a high-performing electrical team
  • Partner with leadership on strategy, growth, and business development
  • Build strong client relationships and contribute to project pursuits
  • Collaborate across disciplines to deliver innovative, integrated solutions

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • P.Eng. designation (BC) or ability to obtain immediately
  • 10+ years of experience in electrical engineering within the buildings sector
  • Strong project experience across:
  • Institutional (healthcare, education, civic)
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Commercial
  • Residential (mid/high-rise)
  • Transit / transportation
  • Proven ability to lead projects and mentor teams
  • A passion for design, collaboration, and the built environment

WHO YOU ARE

  • A design-oriented engineer who cares about more than just technical delivery
  • A natural leader who enjoys developing people and building teams
  • Ambitious and growth-driven, with the desire to lead a division
  • A strong communicator who thrives in client-facing, collaborative environments

WHY THIS STANDS OUT

  • Leadership mandate – real opportunity to build and shape a team
  • Design-driven culture – engineering is integral to design, not an afterthought
  • Diverse, meaningful projects that shape communities
  • Clear pathway to Principal / Director-level influence

If you’re interested in stepping into a leadership role with real impact, we’d welcome a confidential conversation.
