We are Visioneers. We are WSP.

The Opportunity

Shape Something Different - Join our Energy subsector, a vital part of WSP's ERI (Energy, Resources & Industry) sector, delivering solutions that power Canada's energy transition. From upstream and downstream oil and gas to renewable energy markets, we partner with clients across the full project lifecycle-designing, engineering, and innovating for a low-carbon future.

Are you ready to help shape the infrastructure that fuels communities today-and transforms how we power tomorrow? As a Senior Electrical Engineer with Power Generation experience, you'll join a powerhouse group of innovators, problem-solvers, and world-builders who thrive on tackling complex challenges across renewable energy, power generation, and energy-modernization projects.

This position can be located in any of our Canadian offices, with preference for our BC and AB locations.

Your Impact
  • Deliver senior-level electrical engineering for medium and large power generation projects and energy projects; everything from design basis development, equipment selection, detailed design, and field implementation.

  • Develop feasibility studies, technical reports, and conceptual design packages.
  • Review, stamp, and approve drawings and documents while ensuring compliance with codes, standards, and client requirements.
  • Specify equipment from first principles and apply simulation tools and internal engineering models.
  • Mentor and coach junior engineers and designers, building a collaborative learning environment.
  • Manage scope, schedule, change control, and deliverables in alignment with project execution plans.
  • Uphold and promote corporate and client procedures, contributing to quality, safety, and continuous improvement.
  • Provide senior support on negotiation of critical engineering issues and contribute to proposal development.

The Skills That Set You Apart
  • University degree in Electrical Engineering
  • Active P.Eng registration within your province of practice.
  • Minimum 10+ years of EPCM electrical engineering experience along with strong experience in Power Generation projects.
  • Proven success in a Lead Engineer capacity, guiding teams through complex project execution.
  • Strong technical depth across electrical systems design, field operations, and engineering analysis tools.
  • Ability to independently manage projects, drive outcomes, and support multi-discipline collaboration.
  • A passion for developing others and contributing to a high-performance engineering culture.
