Original job description

About the job:

Build the Grid That Powers British Columbia BC Hydro is expanding its transmission network to support electrification, economic growth, renewable energy integration, and major customer interconnections across the province.

We are seeking motivated Junior, Intermediate and Senior Transmission Lines Engineers to join our Transmission Lines Engineering division to deliver this work. This is an opportunity to work on some of the largest and most technically challenging transmission line projects in Western Canada, ranging from 69 kV to 500 kV.

In return, you get rare stability and a real sense of purpose: a guaranteed lifetime defined‑benefit pension, flexible and comprehensive benefits with dedicated mental‑health coverage, strong work‑life balance, and long‑term job security. You’ll have opportunities to keep learning, spend time in the field and on site, and build a career where your work genuinely matters.

You’ll also be part of an inclusive community that values ownership and belonging, paired with the lifestyle advantages of the Vancouver region - mild winters, mountains, water, lakes, and rivers all close to home.

In your cover letter, please let us know which discipline or role you’re applying for.

If you’re a person with a disability, please let us know by emailing RecruitmentHelp@bchydro.com

What you’ll do:

***Overhead Design (Electrical, Civil, Mechanical)***

Provide enterprise-level technical leadership for the design and governance of 69 kV to 500 kV overhead transmission lines across BC Hydro’s capital, interconnection, electrification, maintenance, and emergency response programs.

Lead high-complexity, high-risk projects from route selection and line layout through structure configuration and conductor selection, hardware and insulator specification and selection with strong proficiency in PLS-CADD and production of constructible Plan & Profile drawings.

Act as Professional of Record (POR) and Owner’s Engineer (OE), setting design strategies, review plans, resource requirements, and technical risk mitigation approaches; may serve as Project Engineer on major programs with system-wide integration impacts.

Provide authoritative technical oversight through manufacturing, construction, commissioning, and site issue resolution, ensuring high-quality, safe, and reliable delivery.

***Overhead Design - Structural***

Provide technical leadership for the design, supply, and maintenance of 69 kV to 500 kV overhead transmission lines structures and telecommunication antenna supporting structures across BC Hydro’s capital, interconnection, electrification, maintenance, and emergency response projects and programs.

Perform design, analysis, and preparation of engineering deliverables for overhead transmission line steel, wood, and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) structures and steel telecommunication antenna supporting structures.

Prepare technical and project specifications, technical input for cost estimates, and request for proposal (RFP) documents for material supply and structure installation.

Act as Professional of Record (POR), Checker, Independent Structural Reviewer (ISR), or Owner's Engineer (OE) on capital and maintenance projects and programs.

***Transmission Lines Project Engineer***

Manage the engineering scope, schedule, and cost for primarily interconnection projects with tight timelines.

Perform as the Owner's Engineer Lead where third-party consultants or vendors perform some or all the design, coordinating the internal review and acceptance of their work and overseeing technical specifications and drawings.

Identify and manage technical and transmission-system integration risks, and coordinate timely technical support through manufacturing, construction, and commissioning.

Communicate complex project recommendations to management and stakeholders and coach project team members and others performing project engineer roles.

Work with Transmission Lines Principal Engineers to deliver critical messaging to internal and external stakeholders, and to Customers working with BC Hydro via the Property Referral Program.

Make or review recommendations and other types of communications to management on complex project matters. This may include presenting to senior management and the executive.

***Underground Cables Design (Electrical)***

Provide technical leadership in the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of underground transmission cable systems, including hydraulic systems and assessment of thermo-mechanical behavior.

Utilize advanced engineering techniques, computer applications (e.g., ETAP, CDEGS, Cymedist, Comsol, Python), and innovative approaches to solve complex cable engineering challenges.

Manage medium to large projects, develop specifications and standards, prepare estimates, and deliver technical and site support throughout installation, commissioning, and maintenance phases.

Review work to ensure accuracy and compliance, manage client and stakeholder relationships to add value and drive consensus, and may serve as Owner’s Engineer Lead to coordinate internal review of third-party engineering work

***General qualifications and responsibilities***

Design overhead transmission lines ranging from 69 kV to 500 kV.

Perform route selection, line layout, structure spotting/configuration, and conductor selection.

Develop engineering deliverables including calculations, specifications, cost estimates, design reports, RFPs, and construction packages.

Use tools such as PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, and PLS-TOWER to develop and review transmission line designs.

Support construction, commissioning, maintenance, and emergency response activities.
