Intermediate Electrical Designer

Welcome to Lauren

At Lauren, we don’t design in isolation — we design things that get built.

We’re a full‑service EPCM firm supporting the Energy sector across feasibility, engineering, detailed design, construction, and operations. Our Calgary team is made up of technically strong designers and engineers who value clarity, quality, and teamwork over noise and ego.

If you care about solid design, practical solutions, and being trusted to do real work, you’ll feel at home here.

We’re growing and looking for an Intermediate Electrical & Controls (EIC) Designer with 3–7 years of hands‑on industrial project experience.

This role is for someone who can own EIC design deliverables, understands how electrical and controls systems come together in the field, and wants to keep building their technical depth within a true EPCM environment.

You’ll support Oil & Gas and industrial energy projects, working closely with engineers, senior designers, project managers, and other disciplines to deliver complete, coordinated, construction‑ready designs.

This is not a drafting‑only role — it’s for someone who understands why they’re designing what they’re designing.

You’ll be responsible for developing EIC design packages from early design through IFC, including:

• Power distribution, lighting, grounding, and industrial area layouts
• Cable tray routing and coordinated layouts
• Single line diagrams, wiring diagrams, schematics, loop drawings, and I/O
• Control panel and marshaling cabinet layouts
• PLC / DCS interface drawings and control architecture alignment

• AutoCAD and AutoCAD 3D design and model coordination
• Electrical load lists, cable schedules, equipment, and device lists
• Bills of materials (BOMs) and design documentation packages
• Design calculations (voltage drop, cable sizing, tray fill, lighting levels, heat tracing where applicable)

• Coordinate EIC design across disciplines to ensure constructability
• Identify scope gaps, clashes, or inconsistencies early
• Apply the Canadian Electrical Code correctly and practically
• Support internal design reviews and QC processes

You’ll be trusted to take ownership of your work, ask the right questions, and elevate issues when something doesn’t look buildable.

We’re looking for real project experience, not just titles.

You should have:

• 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 (3D experience is a strong asset)
• Experience interfacing with control systems, panels, PLCs, and DCS
• The ability to manage multiple design tasks without losing detail

You’re likely someone who:

• Can work independently but knows when to ask for input
• Thinks beyond the drawing and considers construction
• Values accuracy, consistency, and clean design packages

You’ll stand out if you have experience with:

• Industrial power systems and control system architecture
• Control panels, marshaling cabinets, and panel layouts
• Brownfield projects and retrofit work
• Multi‑project EPCM environments with parallel deadlines
• Coordinating EIC scope across mechanical, process, and instrumentation

• 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

Because here, you get:

• 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

If you’re an intermediate EIC designer and are part of a strong design team, we’d like to talk.

Apply, and let’s build something solid together.
