Review and approve vendor drawings and technical submissions to ensure alignment with specifications and project requirements.
Provide senior engineering support during construction, including field reviews, responding to RFIs, and resolving complex technical issues.
Coordinate across multidisciplinary teams (civil/structural, protection & control, telecom, etc.) to ensure integrated designs.
Ensure projects are delivered within scope, schedule, and budget while maintaining high-quality standards.
Champion safety-by-design principles, quality assurance, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Prepare estimates and proposals based on Request for Quotation (RFQ) requirements.

Strong expertise in substation design, including layouts, grounding systems, bus design, and major equipment integration.
Experience working with Canadian utilities (e.g., BC Hydro, ENMAX, FortisBC, Hydro One, Hydro Quebec, etc.) is highly desirable.
In-depth knowledge of applicable codes and standards (Canadian Electrical Code [CSA C22.1], IEEE, IEC) and understanding of OH&S requirements.
Strong leadership, mentoring, and team development capabilities.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong client relationships.
Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, with sound engineering judgment.
