The Opportunity

Your Impact Starts Here.

Join a national team designing the future of clean, efficient, and reliable rail electrification across Canada. You will help deliver traction power systems - including substations, distribution networks, grounding systems, and protection analysis - supporting major transportation projects that shape how communities move.

Your Impact

Perform power system studies, including load flow, short-circuit, and arc flash analyses, to assess system performance, efficiency, reliability, and safety. Experience with protection coordination studies is considered an asset.
Analyze and interpret study results to support sound engineering decisions and ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards.
Contribute to the design and analysis of electrical systems for rail and transit infrastructure, including the preparation of layout drawings, single-line and three-line diagrams, and control, protection, and monitoring schemes.
Prepare, review, and verify engineering drawings, technical calculations, specifications, and compliance documentation.
Develop or support grounding and bonding designs in accordance with CSA, IEEE, and applicable local safety standards.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (civil, mechanical, systems, and others) to integrate electrical requirements into overall project designs.
Participate in technical reviews, risk assessments, and constructability evaluations throughout the project lifecycle.
Interface with clients, stakeholders, and authorities by providing technical input, progress updates, and support during design and implementation phases.
Support quality assurance and quality control activities to ensure deliverables meet internal and external requirements.
Assist with the preparation of proposals, cost estimates, and project schedules, as required.

The Skills That Set You Apart

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. A master’s degree is considered an asset.
Licensed as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario or eligible for licensure.
10+ years of related experience in either MV or LV system, or both, ideally within rail or transit projects, with demonstrated leadership in project delivery, client engagement, and mentoring.
Proven experience with design integration across multidisciplinary projects.
Proficiency in power system modelling and analysis tools.
Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
Ability to lead complex projects and mentor cross-functional teams.
