  • Participate in internal and external meetings, prepare progress reports, and ensure design is completed within allocated budget and schedule.
  • Techically review and quality‑control design drawings and documents; provide quality assurance, check design packages, and adhere to GHD QA / QC processes.
  • Provide professional sealing of technical documents.
  • Lead electrical project teams throughout project phases, monitoring schedule, quality of deliverables, and budgets.
  • Support tendering and construction, including responding to RFIs, assisting GHD and client site personnel, reviewing shop drawings, evaluating electrical reports (short‑circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash, ground potential rise, harmonics), completing site inspections, preparing testing plans, evaluating change orders, and participating in construction meetings.
  • Ensure compliance with Canadian electrical codes and standards, relevant industry standards and regulations; coordinate with clients and approving authorities.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering required; Master’s Degree or equivalent preferred.
  • Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario; P.Eng. in other provinces or PMP certification considered assets.
  • PMP designation is an asset.
  • Minimum 15+ years of relevant experience working on and / or leading nuclear projects.
  • Demonstrated experience designing medium and / or large‑scale nuclear power generation systems and substations within a consulting environment.
  • Excellent knowledge of Canadian electrical codes and standards, relevant industry standards and regulations (CNSC, NRC, IAEA).
  • Experience managing client relations, scope changes, schedule and budgets on complex engineering projects.
  • G‑class driver’s license and ability to visit site when required.
  • Experience mentoring and supervising junior staff.
