Intermediate Electrical (EIC) 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.

The Opportunity

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.

What You’ll Be Doing

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

Electrical & Controls Design

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

Design Support & Deliverables

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)

Coordination & Quality

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 escalate issues when something doesn’t look buildable.

What You Bring

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

Technical Experience That Matters Here

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

How We Work

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

Why Lauren?

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.
