Electrical Designer Healthcare

We're active members of the communities we serve. That's why at Stantec we always design with community in mind. We believe growing a great design company happens from the inside out. We are looking for people who are drawn to use every talent they possess, plus creativity, determination and a drive to do the extraordinary.

The Stantec community unites approximately 22,000 employees working in over 400 locations across six continents. We collaborate across disciplines and industries to bring projects to life. Our work as architects, engineers, and consultants from the initial project concept and planning through design, construction and commissioning is built on a solid history of success. So, when we take on a project, we see the opportunity to make a lasting connection with the people and places where we live and work. Redefine your personal best. Join us

Your Opportunity

You will work with direct supervision and general direction on tasks and smaller projects as a team member of a larger engineering team under the guidance of a Senior Engineer/Designer. You will perform a variety of tasks which may include AutoCAD and/or Revit design, calculations, potentially with a focus on the specific requirements of the healthcare sector. The smaller projects that an Electrical Designer may be assigned to will have routine and complex features, potentially within healthcare facilities. You will draw on strong building engineering knowledge, including a growing understanding of healthcare-specific electrical systems (e.g., essential electrical systems, grounding for medical equipment), to assist in the preparation of electrical plans, drawings, details, and specifications in accordance with client standards and expectations, including those unique to healthcare projects.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Prepare of Electrical equipment layout for healthcare sector buildings and plans
• Prepare Cable schedule, cable route diagrams and conduit development
• Prepare ref. MCC and control Panel Elevation drawings and Gas for Healthcare sector applications
• Prepare Load schedules and Single Line diagrams for healthcare sector electrical systems
• Prepare Earthing and Lighting layout drawings for healthcare sector buildings
• Coordination with Civil / Mech / Process and other disciplines
• Serves as the electrical task assigned from time to time by supervisor/management, potentially including Healthcare sector specific tasks.
• Prepares required calculations to meet project requirements, including those specific to healthcare sector electrical systems (e.g., essential electrical systems).
• Collaborates with project managers and supporting design staff as part of a coordinated design team for healthcare sector projects.
• Learning/Maintaining and Expanding Technical Skills
• Maintains and shares current knowledge of technologies, trends and the markets in which we work as they apply to healthcare sector project types and continually strengthens skills. 
• Proactively pursues additional knowledge in related disciplines by attending available in-house and external training relevant to the Healthcare sector.

Your Capabilities and Credentials

• Buildings electrical design knowledge, including but not limited to electrical, lighting, and fire alarm systems, device layouts, circuiting, panel schedules and load calcs, riser diagrams, and schedules, with specific consideration for healthcare facility requirements such as essential electrical systems, patient safety grounding, and isolated power systems.
• Ability to prepare detailed drawings, including those specific to healthcare environments, adhering to relevant codes and standards for medical locations.
• Ability to integrate design elements with architectural, civil, structural, ICT, mechanical and other disciplines to deliver a coordinated design.
• Knowledge of applicable codes and standards.
• Ability to apply logic, reasoning, and organizational skills to structure concepts and ideas into deliverables.
• Ability to demonstrate a credible and trustworthy presence through professionalism, demeanor, and technical knowledge. particularly in understanding and communicating the critical aspects of healthcare, electrical design and safety.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Familiarity with CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software; in particular, AutoCAD and Revit, with the ability to model and document healthcare electrical systems accurately.

Preferred

• Professional experience in buildings electrical design for additional market segments in which we operate, with a strong preference for direct experience in the healthcare sector, including a thorough understanding of healthcare-specific electrical systems and codes.
• Familiarity with various construction delivery processes such as Design-Build, with experience in applying these processes to healthcare projects being a plus.
• Knowledge of specialty electrical or lighting calculation applications, including those used for healthcare-specific calculations like essential electrical system load analysis, lighting design for patient care areas, and grounding/bonding for medical equipment.

Education and Experience

• Bachelors' degree or Diploma in related field
• Minimum 3 years related professional experience to the Healthcare sector or equivalent combination of education and experience.
