Develop Issued for Review (IFR) and Issued for Construction (IFC) design packages that meet utility and regulatory requirements.
Coordinate permitting activities, municipal approvals, crossing agreements, environmental approvals, and utility-specific requirements to support project execution.
Manage project schedules, budgets, deliverables, and resource planning to ensure projects are delivered on time and within scope.
Provide technical oversight, mentorship, and day-to-day guidance to a team of approximately 35 designers and junior engineers.
Conduct quality reviews of designs and documentation to ensure compliance with client standards, utility requirements, CSA standards, and AEUC regulations.
Support continuous improvement initiatives that enhance project execution, design quality, and team efficiency.
Coordinate closely with project managers, engineers, and design teams to align project objectives and ensure successful delivery.
Perform site assessments and technical evaluations for overhead and underground distribution projects as required.
Prepare scopes of work, cost estimates, feasibility studies, and technical reports to support project planning and decision-making.
Ensure all work aligns with organizational health and safety practices and supports a strong safety culture.

Essential Skills

Demonstrated experience designing underground electrical distribution systems.
Proficiency using AutoCAD for utility design.
Proficiency using MicroStation for utility design.
Working knowledge of CSA standards relevant to electrical distribution.
Working knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Utility Code.
Experience performing voltage drop calculations and other distribution engineering analyses.
Experience preparing Issued for Review (IFR) and Issued for Construction (IFC) design packages.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects concurrently while maintaining quality and schedule.
Experience mentoring, leading, or supervising technical staff in an engineering or design environment.
Valid Class 5 Driver's License to support site visits and field assessments.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Strong knowledge of Alberta utility distribution standards and construction practices.
Experience working with ENMAX distribution standards.
Experience working with FortisAlberta distribution standards.
Eligibility or registration with APEGA or ASET.
Experience performing pole line analysis using appropriate engineering tools and methods.
