Collaborate with industry leaders, regulators, transmission owners, and generation developers.
Contribute directly to Alberta's energy transition and grid modernization initiatives.
Grow your leadership profile while mentoring the next generation of engineers.

What You’ll Do:

Serve as the senior technical expert on system protection, control, coordination, and reliability matters.
Lead technical reviews of transmission, generation, distribution, and large-load interconnection projects, providing technical recommendations on protection schemes and coordination practices proposed by interconnected entities.
Develop and maintain protection philosophies, engineering practices, standards, and technical requirements.
Lead complex protection and coordination studies involving transmission lines, transformers, buses, reactors, capacitor banks, HVDC facilities, renewable generation, and inverter-based resources, and evaluate protection system performance under contingency conditions, emerging reliability risks, and abnormal operating scenarios.
Conduct technical investigations of protection system and disturbance events to identify root causes and recommend reliability improvements.
Support the development, implementation, audit readiness, and compliance of AESO Technical Rules, Alberta Reliability Standards, NERC requirements, and other regulatory obligations related to Protection and Control, including the review of rule waivers, variances, and compliance matters.
Provide engineering expertise to support connection projects, system planning, operational engineering, and strategic initiatives across AESO.
Lead and participate in industry working groups, standards committees, and stakeholder engagements to advance protection, control, and reliability practices.
Mentor engineers and provide technical oversight, coaching, and review of engineering studies, technical reports, and recommendations.
Monitor emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices to advance system reliability, operational excellence, and grid modernization.

What You'll Bring:

Minimum 12 years of progressive engineering experience in the electric utility industry with a focus on Protection & Controls.
Strong experience conducting protection system studies, coordination reviews, performance assessments, and complex reliability initiatives.
Experience working with transmission operators, transmission owners, generation owners, utilities, regulators, and reliability organizations.
Demonstrated success leading complex technical initiatives, multidisciplinary engineering teams, and strategic reliability programs.
Experience with Alberta Reliability Standards, ISO Rules, NERC reliability requirements, compliance activities, and regulatory frameworks.
Expertise in protection coordination studies, remedial action schemes (RAS), anti-islanding, synch-check, power swing and out-of-step protection, effective grounding, and protection system performance analysis.
Experience with inverter-based resources, renewable generation integration, HVDC systems, digital substations, facility modelling, Project Development Update Processes (PDUPs), and Real-Time Digital Simulation (RTDS) tools.
Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Power Systems Engineering or a related discipline, and experience developing technical standards, engineering policies, and regulatory documentation, are considered assets.

You will enjoy working with us if you:

Enjoy applying deep technical expertise to real-world challenges that impact Alberta's electricity system.
Value collaboration and influencing outcomes across technical, regulatory, and operational stakeholders.
Are motivated by solving complex problems and navigating ambiguity.
Take pride in mentoring others and advancing engineering excellence.
Embrace innovation and continuous learning in an evolving energy landscape.
