About The Position

The Electrical Engineer will support project execution for EHV/HV substations by performing power system studies and calculations using power system software. The role focuses on ensuring system reliability, efficiency, and compliance with industry standards and regulations. It includes cross-functional collaboration with other engineers, support for project documentation, and participation in continuous improvement initiatives. The engineer will carry out in-depth system studies and support Senior Power System Engineers with studies involving substations, conventional generation, FACTS, renewable energy, inverter-based systems, and combined AC power sources such as conventional generation, AC-BESS, turbines, and renewables. The position requires expertise with frequency- and time-domain simulation tools, including PSCAD, PSS/E, ETAP, and DIgSILENT PowerFactory. The position is remote and requires willingness to travel up to 10%, including internationally. For Canadian-based candidates, the stated pay range is CAD $75,900–$126,500; for U.S.-based candidates, the stated pay range is $80,000–$120,000, with geographic differentials potentially applying. The position is eligible for a discretionary annual bonus. Relocation assistance is not provided.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, including power systems and power electronics subjects.
Proven professional experience and technical expertise in power system engineering; experience in AC substations and power plant system studies is preferred.
Minimum 2–3 years of experience with network or transient studies for conventional electric-energy generation, FACTS, renewable energy, or inverter-based power systems in offshore wind, industrial, utility substations, or grid interconnects.
Expertise in frequency- and time-domain simulation tools such as PSCAD, PSS/E, ETAP, and DIgSILENT PowerFactory.
