<\/p>\n
Location: Burlington, ONT<\/span><\/p>\n Position: Electrical Designer<\/p>\n I joined Grantek in January, 2008 after I decided to leave automotive automation. The industry was volatile and many people were being let go. I knew I wanted to stay in automation but needed a new industry focus. I joined Grantek because I immediately felt they have a solid foundation of stable clients in industries such as pharmaceutical, food and beverage and petro. These were all new industries to me. Grantek has a large group of Engineers to learn from and I knew they would be able to help me grow and learn in these new industries.<\/p>\n I work in the Electrical Engineering team in the Burlington, ONT office. My main responsibilities in Electrical Engineering include taking a concept and turning it into a real control system. I do this through interpreting P&ID diagrams, setting up schematics, networks, control panel design, electrical panel design, supervision of panel build, ordering and inspecting materials, and coordination with installers. Outside of those duties, I also manage client relations and manage projects.<\/p>\n Grantek has good management, good motivation, positive work environment, excellent learning environment and opportunities. We are a very open team\u2013 you can ask any of the Engineers for technical advice and they will share their knowledge with you. You learn something new every day.<\/p>\n Outside of the work, Grantek has a great culture and support this with fun events. The events make for strong team building. This makes me feel \u201cwarm and fuzzy\u201d about Grantek. You are a person, not a number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Location: Burlington, ONT Position: Electrical Designer I joined Grantek in January, 2008 after I decided to leave automotive automation.
