Technical Risk Management
  • Identify and manage technical risks, particularly those related to system integration with existing transmission infrastructure.
  • Ensure engineering requirements are addressed during manufacturing, construction, and commissioning phases.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work with construction teams, contract management, quality management, field operations, and engineering groups to ensure effective technical support during project execution.
  • Provide technical guidance and resolution of engineering issues throughout project delivery.
Stakeholder Communication
  • Prepare and review technical recommendations and communications for leadership.
  • Deliver presentations and updates on complex engineering matters to senior management and project stakeholders.
Mentorship and Leadership
  • Mentor and coach engineers performing Project Engineer roles within the department and across business groups.
  • Support development of engineering staff and contribute to effective team performance.

Qualifications
Education
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Civil, or Mechanical Engineering.
Professional Registration
  • Registered, or eligible for immediate registration, as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC).

  • Strong experience with one or more of the following:
    • Substations
    • Transmission lines
    • Protection and control systems
  • At least 4 years of experience leading and coordinating multi-disciplinary design teams on medium to large infrastructure projects.
Technical Expertise
  • Experience delivering projects across the full engineering lifecycle, from conceptual design through testing and commissioning.
  • Strong understanding of transmission system impacts and operational considerations when executing infrastructure upgrades.
Skills
  • Excellent leadership, coordination, and stakeholder management abilities.
  • Strong technical writing and communication skills.
  • Solid understanding of project management principles and engineering project delivery processes.

Preferred Experience
