Electrical Heat Trace (EHT) Designer joining Wood's Canada Projects team to deliver critical projects in energy transition and renewables. Hybrid opportunity based in Edmonton, AB.
About the role
- Senior Industrial Designer leading product design efforts for sustainable personal care brands at Wild. Collaborating with teams to ensure quality and feasibility from concept to production.
Responsibilities
- Lead structural concept creation from brief, communicating ideas clearly and confidently through hand sketching, rendering, and presentations
- Translate consumer insight, brand direction, and human-centred design thinking into compelling product concepts - considering ergonomics, usability, and the emotional experience of the product from the outset
- Bring a point of view to early design directions; we want a designer who challenges and elevates, not just one who executes
- Stay close to emerging trends in materials, manufacturing, and personal care to bring fresh thinking to the product pipeline
- Own CMF as a design discipline - developing material stories and finish strategies that reinforce Wild's brand identity and sustainability values
- Ensure consistency of design language across the product range, so that every Wild product feels considered and coherent, whether refillable or not
- Identify and explore innovative materials and finishes that balance premium feel with our commitment to reducing environmental impact
- Develop 3D pack architecture and produce detailed CAD models and technical drawings ready for manufacturer review
- Build functional and visual prototypes for research, validation, and internal sign-off
- Create and maintain Design Requirement Specifications (DRS) as a living document throughout each project - capturing constraints, material decisions, and functional requirements so that design intent is clearly traceable from brief to production
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date design documentation and specs throughout the product lifecycle
- Assess manufacturing routes and materials with quality, cost, and sustainability in mind - knowing where to push and where to compromise
- Work directly with suppliers and manufacturers on feasibility, ensuring design intent survives the journey from concept to shelf
- Support tooling kick-off and manage the relationship with manufacturers through to production-ready tech packs
- Produce detailed Bills of Materials (BOM) and dimensioned drawings to support supplier quotation and ensure clean, unambiguous factory handovers
- Optimise packaging for logistics efficiency and support cost-down initiatives without compromising brand quality
- Validate pre-production samples and sign off on gold samples
- Troubleshoot quality issues as they arise, working with suppliers to find practical, lasting solutions
- Continuously look for opportunities to improve usability, sustainability and cost within both new and existing products
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in industrial or product design, ideally within personal care, consumer goods, or packaging
- A strong portfolio demonstrating concept development, CMF thinking, CAD capability, and end-to-end product execution - please include this with your application
- A sound understanding of design for manufacture - you know what's achievable, what will cost too much, and how to push for quality within real constraints
- Exceptional concepting skills. You communicate ideas clearly and compellingly through sketching and rendering before anything goes near a CAD tool
- A considered approach to CMF - you understand how material and finish choices shape the perception and experience of a product
- Experience working directly with external manufacturers and suppliers, from feasibility conversations through to production sign-off
- Comfortable with KeyShot or similar
- Strong proficiency in 3D CAD software and the ability to produce and interrogate technical drawings
- A self-starter mentality: as our first industrial design hire, you'll need to be confident operating independently and building process as you go
- Ambition to grow - this is a role with a long runway, and we'd love to find someone who wants to help shape this function over time
Benefits
- 25 days holidays + bank holidays + 9 extra remote working days
- Hybrid working, 3 days a week in our shiny new London office
- 4% Company Pension
- Mental well-being support through Spill
- Private healthcare through Vitality
