WHO WE ARE

Our Power, Your Possibilities

At TransAlta, we don’t just generate electricity-we generate opportunity. As one of Canada’s largest publicly traded power generators, we’ve been powering communities for over 100 years across Canada, the U.S., and Australia. Our diverse energy portfolio and passionate team are driving the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future.

We believe in the power of purpose, the strength of collaboration, and the value of continuous learning. If you’re ready to make a real impact in a dynamic industry, you bring the energy - we’ll provide the platform.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Manager, Growth Engineering to join our Growth team on a full-time basis. Reporting to the Director, Development, you will establish and lead an integrated Growth Engineering function responsible for providing the technical foundation for the evaluation and development of new energy projects.

This is a hands-on leadership role at the intersection of engineering, development and commercial strategy. You’ll lead a team of engineering professionals and translate customer requirements and commercial opportunities into technically sound, executable project concepts across power generation, energy storage, transmission and other energy infrastructure.

You’ll bring greater structure, consistency and speed to early-stage technical evaluation by applying fit-for-purpose engineering appropriate to the maturity of each opportunity. You’ll provide the technical insight needed to make informed project development and investment decisions.

Working closely with Development and teams across the business, you’ll help shape project opportunities from the front end and ensure engineering, constructability, operability and execution considerations are embedded early in the development process.

This position is based out of our Downtown Calgary Head Office.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Establish and lead an integrated Growth Engineering function supporting the evaluation and development of new growth opportunities.
Lead and develop a team of engineering professionals supporting early-stage projects across multiple technologies and markets.
Partner with Development to rapidly assess customer requirements, technical feasibility, project concepts, infrastructure needs, risks and key development assumptions.
Translate commercial opportunities into fit-for-purpose technical solutions and provide clear recommendations on technical options, constraints and trade-offs.
Lead conceptual design, scope development, technical specifications, basis-of-design assumptions, development schedules and Class 4/5 cost estimates to support project evaluation and investment decisions.
Establish fit-for-purpose engineering, estimating and technical assurance processes that increase project definition and confidence as opportunities mature.
Work across Development, Operations and internal subject matter experts to identify site and infrastructure constraints and ensure constructability, operability, maintainability and execution considerations are incorporated early.
Direct external engineering consultants, EPC contractors, OEMs, utilities, transmission providers and other technical partners, ensuring their work is aligned with project objectives.
Provide technical leadership and recommendations to Development and senior stakeholders as opportunities progress from early-stage development toward detailed engineering and execution.

ABOUT YOU

To be successful in this role, we’re looking for someone who brings:

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline
Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation, or eligibility for registration, considered an asset
At least 10 years of progressive engineering experience within power generation, energy infrastructure, or large-scale industrial projects, including meaningful experience in project development, front-end engineering or conceptual design
Previous experience leading, mentoring or developing engineering professionals and coordinating technical resources across multiple priorities
Strong understanding of early-stage project development, including concept development, technical feasibility, scope definition, cost estimating and risk assessment
Experience working across multiple energy technologies, such as thermal generation, renewables, energy storage or other emerging technologies, considered an asset
Commercial mindset with the ability to connect engineering decisions to project economics, customer requirements and broader business objectives
Strong cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to bring together engineering, development, commercial, regulatory and other subject matter experts
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex technical considerations into clear recommendations for non-technical and senior audiences
A practical, solutions-oriented mindset and comfort operating in a fast-paced development environment where opportunities and priorities can evolve quickly

THE PERKS

Competitive salary
Annual and long-term incentives available for select roles
Company-matching pension plan
Flexible health benefits for you and your family
Generous vacation and personal days
Learning and development programs
Employee recognition and rewards
Annual wellness allowance

We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation and progress, and we’re committed to building a workplace where you can be your authentic self.

Ready to Power Up With Us? Excited about this role but don’t meet every single requirement? We still encourage you to apply. Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet every single qualification. You might just be the candidate we are looking for.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The successful candidate may be required to complete background checks appropriate to the role and may include criminal record, education and employment verification or credit checks. ‘Safety sensitive positions’ will be required to complete pre-employment testing.

Due to the high volume of applications we receive, only those progressing will be contacted.
