- Support QA/QC and commissioning activities by helping prepare checklists, assemble documentation packages, and gather information needed to verify system readiness.
- Build familiarity with electrical system integration concepts (power distribution, grounding, controls interfaces) and general MEP coordination by shadowing engineers throughout the project lifecycle.
- Assist with tracking and documenting technical issues, design changes, or non-conformance items to support timely resolution and alignment across project stakeholders.
- Currently completing a Bachelors degree in electrical or mechanical engineering.
- Ability to interpret basic technical drawings, schematics, and specifications to support engineering and field coordination activities.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to maintain accurate technical documentation and design updates.

- Strong communication skills to support coordination with engineering, commissioning, QA/QC, and contractor teams.
- Curiosity and willingness to learn electrical and MEP system integration concepts within a complex industrial environment.
- Attention to detail and ability to follow structured engineering processes and documentation methods.
- Coursework or project experience in electrical engineering, building systems, or industrial engineering technology.
- Familiarity with drafting or modeling software (AutoCAD, Revit, or similar) is an asset.
- Exposure to quality processes, commissioning checklists, or NCR handling is considered beneficial.
