Full job description

Sangster Engineering designs and manufactures specialized training equipment for military, law enforcement, and professional end-users worldwide. We are a small, fast-moving engineering company based in Amherst, Nova Scotia.

About the Role

We're looking for an entry-level Electrical Engineer (EIT) to grow into our electrical and controls work. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. Even as a recent graduate, you'll own your work and take systems from schematic to powered up and working. You get real responsibility from day one.

If you like owning a problem from the first schematic to a system that switches on and just works, want to learn fast, and want your work to actually matter, read on.

What You'll Bring

We don't expect years of experience — coursework, internships, and personal projects all count. Foundational skills and exposure in these areas:

Electrical design: creating schematics, panel layouts, and wiring plans for real systems: power distribution, lighting, and low-voltage circuits (coursework and personal projects count).
Controls and integration: making separate electrical pieces work together as one system: PLCs, relays, sensors, networked devices (any exposure counts, a class project is fine).
Practical reliability: an instinct for building things that power up and keep working in the field, not just on the bench.

What You'll Own

Your work. You'll own your designs and projects end to end, with support from the team as you grow.
From schematic to switched-on. You'll carry your designs through wiring, integration, and commissioning — all the way to a working system.
Quality. Careful, dependable electrical work: safe, to code, and built to last.

What we're looking for

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field; recent graduates or those with equivalent practical experience are encouraged to apply.
Registered or eligible to register as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) with Engineers Nova Scotia.
Hands-on experience with Claude is a real plus — we use Claude Code in our day-to-day work.
Comfort reading and producing electrical schematics and drawings (any tools).
High autonomy and strong self-direction.
Comfortable on a very small team, wearing many hats.

Nice to Have

Hands-on exposure to wiring, panel-building, controls, or electrical construction (a summer job or hobby project counts).
Familiarity with the Canadian Electrical Code, or a genuine interest in learning it properly.

How to Apply

If you're a recent grad looking for real, hands-on ownership from day one, we'd love to hear from you. Apply to this posting with your resume and a portfolio of your work — capstone report, schematics, controls or electronics projects, photos of things you've wired or built, anything that shows how you think.

Benefits:

Casual dress
Paid time off
Profit sharing

Ability to commute/relocate:

Amherst, NS: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)

Application question(s):
