Prepare protection philosophies, AC/DC schematics, wiring diagrams, logic diagrams, and panel layouts.
Support the development of design basis documents, technical specifications, engineering calculations, reports, and construction packages.
Collaborate with clients, utilities, equipment suppliers, and project stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions.
Provide technical support during procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning.
Participate in multidisciplinary project teams delivering renewable energy, utility, and industrial power projects.
Support continuous improvement initiatives and share technical knowledge across the team.

The Skills That Set You Apart

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation or eligibility for registration in Canada.
At least 5 to 10 years' experience in substation design engineering within utility, consulting, or industrial environments.
Demonstrated experience serving as a substation design engineer on multiple concurrent brownfield and greenfield projects.
Working knowledge of transmission and distribution protection philosophies and industry standards.
Experience in substation design at 500 kV voltage level is considered an asset.
Knowledge of IEC 61850 communication protocols and digital substations is considered an asset.
Strong technical writing, problem-solving, and client-facing communication skills.
Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced project environment.
Willingness to travel occasionally to client facilities, substations, or project sites.
