At KCB, the mechanical group focuses primarily on hydroelectric projects. Our recent projects have included work on water control gates, large valves, turbines, penstocks and balance‑of‑plant systems—including piping, pumping, HVAC, and drainage. In addition, we work on moveable bridges, cranes, and large pumping systems for mining projects.

The KCB mechanical group has enough experience to mentor career advancement but is small enough for a close‑knit team that regularly works together.

Typical Projects

  • Design of new hydroelectric facilities
  • Refurbishments and upgrades to hydroelectric facilities
  • Design of large water control gates
  • Conditions assessments of large gates and valves
  • Dam safety and public safety reviews
  • Hydroelectric facility audits
  • Inspections and major maintenance of large port cranes
  • Slurry transport systems and cyclones for domestic and international mining clients
  • Conventional and custom mechanical designs and systems for large infrastructure projects
  • Marine and port facilities

Typical Services

  • Mechanical design from concept to final design
  • Structural and mechanical design of gates for water resource and hydroelectric projects
  • Development of functional requirements for use by electrical staff
  • Preparation of design deliverables (drawings, specs, estimates, schedules, reports, etc.)
  • Site investigations and construction monitoring
  • Condition assessments of existing equipment
  • Upgrades and refurbishment of existing installations
  • Design of pumping systems, piping, heating, and ventilation systems for hydro and industrial clients

This role will give you the opportunity to

  • Be involved with designs of new or refurbishment of overall hydroelectric plants
  • Work on facility‑wide or major component refurbishments for hydroelectric plants, cranes and pumping systems
  • Work with diverse multidisciplinary teams of engineers, designers and drafters from preliminary investigations and conceptual design through to construction
  • Oversee project management activities, including budgeting, resource planning, timelines, and deliverables
  • Act as the primary point of contact for clients, providing technical advice and ensuring clear communication throughout the project lifecycle

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • Minimum of 10 years of related hydromechanical design experience
  • Professional designation with EGBC or eligibility to apply within 6 months
  • Strong working knowledge of MS Word, Excel, Mathcad, Revit, Inventor, SolidWorks and hydraulic design software
  • Ability to technically review the work of others while providing effective feedback
  • Ability to project manage a variety of engineering projects
  • Ability to foster relationships, cultivating client engagement and team support
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining scope, team and budget continuity

The salary for this position ranges from $110,000 to $180,000 per year, based on applicable experience, education, and skill level.

Along with continued career development, KCB offers

  • Hybrid work opportunities
  • Annual performance and salary reviews
  • Vacation policy that aligns to your experience
  • Paid overtime and sick days
  • Flexible benefits, including RRSP, social and mental well‑being initiatives
  • Dedication to the World Economic Forum’s “Four Pillars” of environment, social, governance framework

We are a global organization committed to developing a respectful workplace founded on equity, diversity and inclusion. We strive to make our employees, clients, and the communities in the regions we operate feel valued and treated equitably. We respect the uniqueness that makes you "you." We encourage applications from all qualified career seekers regardless of gender, sex, religion or nationality.
