About The Position

Englobe is seeking an Intermediate Hydropower Engineer to contribute to projects across hydropower and related infrastructure markets. The role involves engineering assessments and design for new and existing hydropower facilities, including rehabilitation, modernization, and life-extension projects. Work may cover water-conveyance and hydraulic structures, powerhouses, and associated civil, structural, or mechanical systems, depending on the candidate’s engineering background.

The engineer will participate in projects from feasibility and conceptual design through detailed design and construction support. Responsibilities include assessing asset condition using drawings, inspection findings, operating information, and field data; preparing calculations, reports, drawings, specifications, equipment data sheets, quantity estimates, and cost estimates; and coordinating with multidisciplinary teams. The position can be based anywhere in Atlantic Canada, with the option to work remotely or from an Englobe local office. Site travel, including to remote locations, is required.

Englobe describes its culture as collaborative, innovative, and supportive of professional growth. The role offers flexibility, mentoring and skills development, flexible scheduling and compressed work hours, and a hybrid work arrangement. The organization also provides group insurance, a group RRSP, free telehealth access, and a confidential employee assistance program for employees and their families. Artificial intelligence tools may be used in screening or selecting applications.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering, or another closely related engineering discipline.
• Approximately 4–8 years of relevant engineering experience, preferably involving hydropower, dams, hydraulic structures, heavy civil infrastructure, or industrial water-conveyance systems.
• Registration as a Professional Engineer, or eligibility for registration, with an engineering association in Canada.
• Experience assessing or designing one or more hydropower components, such as intakes, penstocks, spillways, gates, stoplogs, powerhouses, water-conveyance systems, or hydraulic equipment.
• Sound understanding of engineering principles applicable to the candidate’s discipline, including reinforced concrete and steel design, hydraulic structures, pressure conduits, gates and lifting systems, or heavy mechanical equipment.
• Experience preparing engineering calculations, technical reports, design drawings, specifications, equipment data sheets, or cost estimates.
• Experience with engineering software appropriate to the candidate’s discipline.
• Strong analytical, technical-writing, and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering disciplines.
• Knowledge of applicable Canadian codes, standards, and guidance.
• Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel to project sites, including remote sites.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with inspections, condition assessments, construction support, commissioning, or rehabilitation of existing infrastructure.

Responsibilities
