  • Coordinate OCS interfaces with Traction Power, Signaling, Communications, Civil/Structural, Trackwork, Stations/Architectural, and Utilities, ensuring physical and functional integration.
  • Support the management of system interfaces and creation of Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
  • Be the lead checker of the OCS designs, drawings, and specifications produced by the engineers.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards, codes, and project requirements (CSA, AREMA, EN, IEC, etc.).
  • Review contractor submissions including shop drawings, material approvals, method statements, and RFIs, providing timely technical responses and design clarifications.
  • Attend project meetings and provide technical expertise.
  • Participate in design reviews and hazard/interface workshops, providing OCS input to support safe, buildable, and maintainable solutions.
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers and designers.
  • Implement QA/QC processes for OCS deliverables.
  • Identify risks and propose mitigation strategies.
  • Prepare technical reports, design documentation, and progress updates.
  • Maintain project records and ensure proper documentation.
  • Provide technical support during construction and commissioning.
  • Stay updated with latest OCS technologies and best practices.
  • Promote process improvements and innovation within the team.

Profile / Skills

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Civil/Structural Engineering.
  • P.Eng. designation in Canada (or eligibility to obtain).
  • At least 10 years of railway experience in OCS design and implementation.
  • Experience as an OCS Engineer in the design phase, with the ability to analyze and comment on designs, providing expert consultancy during feasibility, preliminary, detailed design, and assessment of constructability.
  • Experience with OCS structural calculations in Canadian context.
  • Excellent leadership, coordination and communication skills with a proven ability to guide multidisciplinary teams and drive digital innovation.
  • Proficiency in software used for OCS design, such as MicroStation and AutoCAD.
  • Commissioning supervision experience is advantageous.
  • Preference for Light Rail Transit (LRT) experience. Heavy rail and High-Speed rail experience is advantageous.
