Job Description

Overview

AtkinsRéalis is seeking a Senior Hydropower Electromechanical Engineer for the position of Technical Director to act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Hydro Turbines-Generators Systems, supporting some of the largest and most technically complex hydropower projects in Canada and internationally.

This role is designed for a seasoned professional who has spent decades developing deep expertise in turbine-generator technology and now wishes to apply that knowledge at a strategic, advisory, and legacy-building level, shaping national infrastructure, mentoring the next generation of engineers, and influencing major capital decisions across the project lifecycle.

The successful candidate will work within AtkinsRéalis' Owner's Engineer/ Independent Engineer/ Technical Advisor consultancy framework, supporting projects from early feasibility through commissioning, while contributing to business development and long-term capability building in hydropower.

Your role

Technical Leadership & Subject Matter Expertise:
  • Act as a recognized technical authority for hydro turbine and generator systems across AtkinsRéalis hydropower projects.
  • Provide expert input during feasibility and concept stages, including:
    • Selection of turbine-generator technology.
    • Evaluation of refurbishment, power-increase (uprating), or replacement options.
  • Technical risk identification and mitigation strategies.
  • Develop, review, and validate technical specifications, and performance requirements for turbine-generator systems.
  • Coordinate with BoP electrical and mechanical design teams for Turbine-Generator integration.


OEM Interface & Engineering Oversight:
  • Support OEM prequalification and selection, including technical evaluations and tender assessments.
  • Review and comment on OEM engineering deliverables, including:
    • Mechanical and electrical design documents.
    • Performance calculations.
    • Manufacturing drawings.
    • Quality plans and inspection & test plans (ITPs), consistent with the PRIE framework when applicable.
  • Provide independent technical judgment on OEM compliance with specifications, codes, and contractual requirements.


Manufacturing, Testing & Commissioning Support:
  • Witness and review factory manufacturing activities, including:
    • Key hold-point inspections.
    • Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs).
    • Performance and functional testing.
  • Support site installation, commissioning, and performance testing, including troubleshooting and resolution of complex technical issues.
  • Provide expert input into acceptance, handover, and performance guarantees.


Mentorship & Knowledge Transfer:
  • Mentor and coach junior and intermediate engineers, transferring practical turbine-generator knowledge gained through decades of industry experience.
  • Provide internal technical reviews, lessons-learned sessions, and contribute to technical excellence frameworks within AtkinsRéalis.
  • Support the long-term development of hydropower electromechanical capability across Canada.


Business Development & Strategic Advisory:
  • Support business development efforts in the hydropower consultancy space, including:
    • Technical input to proposals and pursuits.
    • Client presentations and workshops.
    • Early-stage technical advisory engagements.
  • Act as a trusted technical advisor to clients, utilities, and asset owners on major capital investments and long-term asset strategies.
  • Contribute to shaping AtkinsRéalis' future hydropower offerings, particularly for national building and energy transition projects.


About you

Essential Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Electromechanical Engineering (Master's degree considered an asset).
  • Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in Canada or eligibility for registration.
  • Typically 15+ years of progressive experience in hydropower turbine-generator engineering.


Technical Experience:
  • Demonstrated deep expertise in hydro turbine and generator systems.
  • Experience across multiple project phases.
  • Feasibility and conceptual studies.
  • Detailed design review.
  • Manufacturing oversight.
  • Commissioning and performance testing.
  • Familiarity with international standards and codes.


Professional Attributes:
  • Strong technical judgment and ability to provide clear, defensible expert opinions.
  • Comfortable operating in a senior advisory role rather than hands-on drafting or routine production work.
  • Excellent communication skills in both French and English; able to explain complex technical matters to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.*
  • Genuine interest in mentoring and developing young engineers.


Ideal for Professionals Who Are:
  • A senior hydro turbine-generator consultant/ expert considering their next and most impactful chapter.
  • Motivated by legacy projects, mentorship, and national significance, rather than routine execution.

*This position requires knowledge of a language other than French, namely English, as it involves collaboration with members of the Canadian or global leadership team located outside Québec.
