Electrical Engineering Team Lead

About This Role

In this essential role, you will act as the backbone of our high-voltage division. You will lead by expertise, ensuring every substation, transformer, and distribution system we deliver is safe, code-compliant, and constructible. This is a role for a leader who isn't afraid to get involved in the technical "nitty-gritty" while maintaining the high-level vision of the project lifecycle.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

• Technical Leadership: Provide day-to-day guidance and technical coaching to electrical engineers, designers, and technicians.
• Scope Execution: Lead high-voltage project execution including substations, E-houses, transformers, switchgear, and lightning protection systems.
• Design & Sealing: Develop, review, and seal electrical designs, including single-line diagrams, protection philosophies, and grounding studies.
• Standards & Compliance: Ensure all deliverables meet CEC, CSA, IEEE, IEC, utility, and client-specific standards.
• Field & Factory Support: Support factory acceptance tests (FAT), site commissioning, energization, and outage activities.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Act as the primary technical interface with utilities, inspectors, contractors, and clients.
• Project Oversight: Own electrical planning, task coordination, and schedules to ensure results are delivered on complex, multi-phase projects.

What You Bring to the Table

• Credentials: A Professional Engineer (P.Eng) license in good standing is required.
• Experience: Minimum 4 years of experience specifically in high-voltage power systems, substations, or infrastructure.
• Technical Mastery: Strong hands-on knowledge of HV protection principles, relay coordination, and grounding/bonding systems.
• Software Proficiency: Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical or similar electrical design tools.
• Leadership Mindset: Proven ability to lead technically, manage priorities, and promote a disciplined safety culture.
• Bonus Skills: Experience with temporary high-voltage power systems or integration-level knowledge of PLC/SCADA systems is a strong asset.
