An electrical design professional in an EPCM environment

I am an Electrical Designer at WSP, a global professional services and engineering company. My work sits inside EPCM project delivery, where electrical design is produced, reviewed and issued alongside structural, mechanical and piping disciplines.

Day to day I develop single line diagrams, power distribution layouts, lighting designs, cable tray and conduit routing, cable schedules and equipment layouts — carried from concept through IFC packages and as-built documentation.

I work in both 2D and 3D: AutoCAD, Revit and MicroStation for drawing production, SmartPlant 3D for electrical equipment and cable tray modelling, AGi32 for illuminance calculations, and ProjectWise for controlled document management. My designs follow the Canadian Electrical Code, the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and CSA standards.

Before my current role I worked with Linde Canada on CAD design coordination and document control, which shaped how I handle revisions, transmittals and drawing quality today.
