• Develop technical specifications and support vendor reviews, supplier qualification, equipment testing, and commissioning activities.
• Support procurement and tendering processes by preparing technical requirements, coordinating supplier information, maintaining technical Q&A documentation, and evaluating EPC bidder proposals.
• Manage external engineering consultants and facilitate technical coordination meetings, design reviews, and issue-resolution sessions.
• Review engineering designs, drawings, specifications, calculations, and other technical documentation from suppliers, consultants, and contractors, identifying gaps and driving timely resolution.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering requirements across electrical, civil, structural, mechanical, controls, and balance-of-plant systems.
• Review Factory Acceptance Test procedures and reports to verify that equipment and systems meet project requirements.
• Conduct site visits and inspections to confirm construction and installation activities align with approved designs, drawings, specifications, and quality expectations.
• Provide technical support during construction and commissioning, helping project teams resolve design, installation, equipment, and execution issues.
• Evaluate technical risks, dependencies, and engineering changes, ensuring appropriate actions are taken to protect project performance and delivery objectives.
• Collaborate with internal engineering, project management, procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to maintain strong technical alignment throughout each project.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.
• At least 5 years of experience in project engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical role supporting complex energy, power, electrical infrastructure, or industrial projects.
• Strong knowledge of low- and medium-voltage electrical systems, including cable sizing, short-circuit analysis, load-flow analysis, protective-device coordination, and arc-flash studies.
• Demonstrated ability to review engineering designs, drawings, technical specifications, calculations, and project documentation to identify gaps and resolve technical issues.
• Working knowledge of grid-interconnection requirements and renewable energy or energy storage codes and standards, including UL, NFPA, IEEE, NETA, NERC, and applicable regional requirements.
• Experience supporting procurement activities and technical bid evaluations for major electrical equipment such as inverters, transformers, switchgear, and related systems.
• Strong project coordination and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to work effectively across internal teams, engineering consultants, suppliers, EPC contractors, and other external partners.
• Ability to communicate complex technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with sound technical judgment and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving project issues.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliverables in a fast-paced project environment while maintaining attention to quality, safety, and schedule.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 25% within Canada and the United States, including occasional multi-day site visits.
• Familiarity with EMS, SCADA, PPCs, PLCs, IT/OT networks, communication protocols, and related control systems is an advantage.
• Knowledge of balance-of-plant systems, including UPS systems, fire detection and suppression, HVAC, and auxiliary electrical systems, is considered a plus.

Benefits
