Job Description

The Senior Distribution Engineer plays a key role in delivering electrical utility infrastructure projects within a fast-growing engineering consulting group. This full-time position is based in New Westminster, BC and focuses on the design and review of overhead and underground distribution systems for utility clients, with an emphasis on BC Hydro standards. The role includes technical leadership, project oversight, and mentorship responsibilities within a multidisciplinary team operating in a hybrid work model.

Responsibilities

Design overhead electrical infrastructure as the primary responsibility and underground electrical infrastructure as a secondary responsibility in accordance with BC Hydro standards and requirements.
Use SPIDAcalc non-linear pole line and PLS-CADD analysis tools to evaluate pole designs and develop non-standard overhead line design solutions.
Apply underground cable pulling calculation software to validate underground design solutions.
Use load balancing and fuse coordination software to support distribution system improvement projects.
Fulfill Professional of Record (POR) responsibilities for non-standard and engineered design solutions.
Adhere to EGBC bylaws, including requirements for continuing education and quality management guidelines.
Prepare comprehensive design packages for review and submission for non-standard pole replacement, LPT/PMT/livefront/service box/URD, feeder design, customer-driven third-party attachments, automation, system improvement programs, and other utility or client programs.
Check and review the design work completed by peers to ensure quality and compliance with standards.
Prepare issue-for-construction packages that are clear, complete, and ready for field implementation.
Coordinate effectively with clients, co-workers, subcontractors, regulatory authorities, and other project stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
Attend project meetings and conduct site inspections and reviews to validate designs and support project execution.
Provide technical and escalation support through all phases of a project, from concept and design through to construction and close-out.
Mentor designers and Engineers-in-Training (EITs), supporting their technical development and professional growth.
Perform other engineering and project-related tasks as required by leadership to support successful project delivery.

Essential Skills

Degree in Engineering from a Canadian accredited university or an equivalent recognized institution.
Current Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation with a Canadian engineering association.
Minimum of eight (8) years of experience in underground (UG) and/or overhead (OH) electrical design on BC Hydro projects; experience with other North American electric utility projects may be considered in combination with BC Hydro experience.
Strong knowledge of distribution engineering and power systems design for electrical utility infrastructure.
Experience with overhead and underground distribution design, including field engineering considerations.
Proficiency using SPIDAcalc or similar non-linear pole line analysis tools for overhead line design.
Demonstrated ability to act as Professional of Record (POR) on engineered solutions.
Valid Class 5 BC drivers license or equivalent from another Canadian province.
Strong oral and written communication skills for effective collaboration and documentation.
Proficiency with MS Office applications for reporting, analysis, and project communication.
Proficiency with AutoCAD software for preparing and reviewing design drawings.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with PLS-CADD for advanced overhead line analysis and design is considered an asset.
Experience working on BC Hydro RDE or similar long-term utility programs is beneficial.
Background in transmission, distribution, and protection (TD&P) engineering is advantageous.
Ability to mentor and support the development of designers and EITs within a project team.
Strong organizational skills with a proven ability to take ownership, work independently, and meet deadlines.
Detail-oriented approach to design and quality assurance, with a focus on accuracy and compliance.
Comfort working in a consulting environment with multiple stakeholders and concurrent projects.
