Orijinal Engineering is a Lower Mainland electrical engineering consulting firm founded by solution-oriented engineers. We deliver practical, high-quality building systems for residential, mixed-use, commercial, tenant improvement, institutional, and civic projects.
We believe strong engineering should make complex projects easier for our clients and create lasting value for our communities. Our work is grounded in meaningful relationships, responsive service, and shared accountability.
We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Project Manager to lead a portfolio of building projects through planning, design, construction, and closeout. As part of a growing firm, you will work directly with our principals, lead meaningful projects, and help shape how we work and grow together.
What you’ll do:
As a Project Manager at Orijinal, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping sustainable building design projects from concept to completion. Your responsibilities will include:
- Lead electrical building projects through planning, design, tender, construction administration, and closeout.
- Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for clients. Lead meetings, communicate decisions and risks clearly, and build trusted, long-term relationships.
- Direct and review the design of power distribution, lighting and controls, emergency power, fire alarm and life safety, communications and security systems, and EV charging infrastructure.
- Coordinate with architectural, mechanical, structural, civil, and specialty consultants. Execute on drawings, specifications, reports, and calculations to produce accurate and constructible deliverables.
- Lead construction administration activities, including RFIs, shop drawing reviews, site reviews, change notices, contractor quotation review, progress claims, deficiency reviews, and project closeout.
- Plan and assign work to designers and EITs, provide clear direction and feedback, and help team members grow through practical coaching and mentorship.
What you’ll bring:
- 5 or more years of progressive experience in electrical building services consulting, including demonstrated responsibility for project delivery and client coordination.
- A bachelor's degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related discipline.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD (experience with Revit is a bonus). Familiarity with Bluebeam and Microsoft 365 is expected.
- Strong working knowledge of electrical distribution, lighting and controls, fire alarm and life safety, emergency systems, and low-voltage building systems.
- Working knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code, BC Building Code, applicable standards, local bylaws, and utility requirements.
- Experience managing design coordination, scope changes, and construction administration activities.
- Clear communication, sound judgment, and strong follow-through, with the confidence to lead discussions and manage several competing projects without losing sight of quality or client commitments.
- Registration as a P.Eng. with Engineers and Geoscientists BC, or eligibility to register, is preferred.
- Ability to attend client meetings and project sites throughout the Lower Mainland. Candidates must be legally entitled to work in Canada.
