Job description

At Stantec, we know the work we do matters. From decarbonizing mines to modernizing electric grids and building the infrastructure that fuels communities, we’re powering the world. Our clients come to us with their biggest, most complex challenges because that’s where we thrive. And we’re looking for problem solvers, high achievers, and visionaries to help us.

Join us for a chance to grow professionally at one of the world’s top design firms while building our clean energy future.

Your Opportunity

We are currently seeking an early career AC Mitigation Engineer/Engineer in Training to join our Corrosion Prevention team. The primary roles of the AC Mitigation Engineer are:

• To perform AC interference modeling
• To design AC interference mitigation systems
• To perform third party reviews of reports and designs related to corrosion, cathodic protection (CP), and AC interference.
• To perform CP and AC interference system monitoring and evaluation.
• To support clients’ Pipeline and Facility Safety Management Systems.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Modelling of complex pipeline and powerline geometries using specialized computer software (CDEGS), including extensive data input and analysis
• Design of AC mitigation systems to reduce the risk of electrical shock to pipeline personnel, as well as integrity risks to the pipeline (coating damage, AC corrosion, etc.)
• Assessment of CP and AC interference survey data
• Design AC and DC interference mitigation systems
• Third party review of CP and AC interference designs, reports, and inspection and commissioning data.
• Perform engineering calculations (resistance, current distribution, ground potential rise, etc.)
• Coordinate engineering aspects of installation of AC mitigation and cathodic protection systems
• Develop detailed designs as required and collaborate with drafting personnel to prepare design drawing packages
• Potential field work consisting of soil resistivity testing, structure potentials, right-of-way evaluations, and constructability assessments for AC mitigation and CP systems
• Prepare technical assessment and design reports, as well as procedures and specifications
• Support maintenance and updates to assessment criteria in accordance with evolving industry practices and stay abreast of emerging technologies
• Delivery of accurate, timely and cost-effective integrity services that meet client, Stantec and industry/regulatory standards
• Keep current on applicable pipeline and integrity codes and standards
• Other integrity and pipeline engineering responsibilities including participating in varying projects on an as needed basis
• Liaise with other divisions
• Comply with Stantec’s EH&S program, with a focus on safety in the field
• Adhere to Stantec’s Engineering Quality System
• Establish and maintain positive client relationships

Your Capabilities and Credentials

• Good understanding of grounding, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and/or AC interference concepts, including field data gathering and troubleshooting
• Experienced with Canadian and/or U.S. standards, practices and applicable legislation
• Demonstrated technical proficiency and attention to detail
• Sound interpersonal, communication, analytical and problem-solving skills
• Proven initiative, flexibility and adaptability
• Strong work ethic and self-motivation
• Excellent computer skills with emphasis on Microsoft Excel, Word and mapping tools such as Google Earth and AbaData
• AMPP (NACE) certification and CP experience are an asset

Education and Experience

• University degree in an engineering discipline (electrical engineering, with a background in electromagnetics, grounding, or interference, is preferred)
• Licensed P.Eng., or eligible to obtain licensure (EIT / P.Eng. candidates with relevant experience will be considered) - This role is open to a range of experience levels including earlier-career engineers with a relevant electrical background and hands‑on exposure to grounding, electromagnetic interference (EMI), or interference modelling/simulation, who are able to pick up specialized tools and concepts quickly.
• Experience with SES CDEGS software (or comparable electromagnetic/grounding simulation software) is highly desirable; candidates without direct CDEGS experience should demonstrate transferable modelling or simulation skills and a strong aptitude to learn it.
• Please note: this is not an entry‑level position. Some prior electrical, grounding, or EMI experience is required – recent graduates without exposure to these areas are unlikely to be a fit.

Hybrid work model with possibility of full remote for the right candidate. Although preferred working locations include Edmonton, Calgary, or Markham for team interactions, other working locations will be considered for the right candidate

Some travel may be required. This is a full-time position available immediately.

Typical office environment working with computers; Stantec offers a flexible work environment (a hybrid model of working in the office and at home).
