As a Junior Drive Systems Engineer, you’ll assist with commissioning, troubleshooting, and optimizing drive systems while learning from experienced engineers.

- Evaluating applications and recommending the best‑fit drive system solutions.
- Size, select equipment, and configure parameters, including VFDs, SS, and accessories.
- Supporting technical proposals with system design, product recommendations, and cost estimates.
- Collaborating cross‑functionally with internal teams and customers to ensure successful outcomes.
- Documenting service work and customer feedback to improve systems and service delivery.
- Travel regularly, including occasional after‑hours or weekend commissioning work.
You’ll Succeed If You Have:
- A Degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related field.
- Hands‑on experience working with VFDs and Soft Starters in MV and LV applications.
- Strong understanding of power electronics, motor control, and system integration.
- Comfort in the field—especially during commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
- Strong communication skills—you can break down technical concepts for any audience.
- A collaborative mindset and the ability to work independently.
- A valid driver’s license and willingness to travel as part of your routine.
Why Join Our Client:
- You’ll be hands‑on and on‑site, making a real difference in how industrial systems run.
- We offer a tight‑knit, technically strong team and a culture that values your input.
- Full extended benefits: health, dental, vision, LTD, AD&D, and more.
- Health Care Spending Account + RRSP program.
