The focus is on electrical systems analysis, technical leadership, and process ownership.

Essential Responsibilities

• Develop and evaluate engineering solutions for EPDS.
• Apply electrical theory, modeling, and simulation to design systems with desired behaviors, power flow balance, optimization, and coordination across voltage levels.
• Design AC and DC electrical systems, including generators, transformers, switchgear, relays, panels, wiring, grounding, and protection systems.
• Support grid connection applications and design protection/control system components.
• Lead or support design processes from FEED to detailed final design, maintaining data-centric documentation and models.
• Collaborate across disciplines to meet performance and reliability goals using FMEA, PRA, and modern techniques.
• Support regulatory certification, procurement, and supplier oversight, ensuring compliance and safety.
• Manage testing, inspections, and acceptance criteria with suppliers.
• Establish relationships with project teams, suppliers, and stakeholders.
• Perform reviews, verification, and optimization studies.
• Develop work plans, monitor progress, and ensure deliverables meet scope, budget, and schedule.
• Promote continuous improvement and safety culture, providing leadership and mentorship.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years in high-reliability industries (nuclear, power, marine, etc.) with experience in design, specifications, and procurement using digital tools.
• 10+ years applying standards like IEEE, IEC, or NFPA relevant to electrical power systems.
• 10+ years working with heavy electrical equipment, modeling, and qualification processes.
• Proficiency in PC software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and CAD tools.
• 7+ years experience with electrical system simulation tools like ETAP.
• 5+ years experience with P&C design and grid interface in power plants.
• Professional Engineering Designation (P.Eng) in Ontario.

Desired Characteristics

• Master’s degree and PE certification preferred.
• PMP certification, Ontario PEO license advantageous.
• Experience with equipment qualification testing and digital engineering tools.
• Knowledge of NERC/NPCC standards, relay configuration, and modern collaboration tools.
• Strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks, adapt, and continuously learn.
