Lead customer technical meetings, design reviews, and interdisciplinary engineering coordination meetings.
Serve as the technical lead for Protection and Controls across projects, providing guidance, standards, and technical oversight to the engineering team.
Develop and review protection and control system designs, including relay selection, protection philosophies, settings development, configuration, and coordination.
Support and mentor team members on protection and control best practices, helping build capability within the group
Review engineering deliverables to ensure technical accuracy, consistency, and compliance with industry standards, project specifications, and internal engineering practices.
Coordinate and provide technical oversight of multi-discipline vendors and subcontractors, ensuring alignment with project requirements, engineering standards, schedules, and overall project objectives.
Support proposal development, engineering estimates, technical risk assessments, and engineering execution planning.

Additional tasks with varying scope depending on experience level:

Perform and review power system studies (e.g., short circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, load flow) to support protection design and validate system performance.
Design/review/implementation of power management systems (PMS).

Our Team Dynamics

Our teams support each other, collaborate, and never stop learning. Everyone brings something unique, and together we push ideas forward to solve real problems. Being part of our team means your work matters - because the progress we make here creates real impact out there.

Qualifications for the role:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
10+ years of experience in power systems engineering, with experience in Protection and Controls.
Strong knowledge of protection principles, relay coordination, and protection scheme design for medium and high voltage power systems.
Hands-on experience with protective relay configuration and settings development (e.g., SEL, GE, Siemens, ABB or similar platforms).
Experience interpreting power system studies such as short circuit, protection coordination, load flow, and arc flash.
Familiarity with power system analysis software (e.g., ETAP, SKM PowerTools, EasyPower, PSCAD, or similar).
Working knowledge of substation design and electrical building integration, including protection and control system interfaces.
Familiarity supporting or implementing power management systems (PMS) or SCADA-based monitoring and control systems is considered an asset.
Strong understanding of relevant industry standards and codes (IEEE, NFPA, NEC, ANSI, IEC, or equivalent as applicable).
