The Opportunity

Build the Future with Us

Join our Power Generation team as a  Project Engineer  supporting gas-fired generation, cogeneration, and associated energy infrastructure projects across Canada.

Bring your engineering experience to multidisciplinary projects where you'll combine project engineering leadership with hands-on technical involvement. You'll contribute to simple-cycle gas turbine (SCGT), combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT), cogeneration, and related energy projects from concept development and FEED through detailed engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, start-up, and integration with the power end user.

Your Impact

Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering activities across process, mechanical, piping, civil/structural, electrical, instrumentation and controls, and other disciplines to achieve project objectives for safety, quality, schedule, cost, constructability, and technical performance.

Partner with project management and clients to align scope, schedule, budget, risks, priorities, and technical requirements, providing clear status updates and driving issues toward timely resolution.

Lead 3D model, design, constructability, and interdisciplinary reviews, coordinating technical interfaces, comments, decisions, and actions across engineering disciplines and project stakeholders.

Develop and review drawings, specifications, calculations, datasheets, vendor documentation, engineering schedules, deliverable registers, interface registers, and other execution documents to maintain alignment with the design basis, client requirements, codes, and good engineering practice.

Manage interfaces with equipment vendors, package suppliers, fabricators, contractors, construction teams, and other stakeholders, supporting equipment selection, technical bid evaluations, vendor document reviews, procurement, and integration of power generation and balance-of-plant systems.

Identify and resolve technical risks, design changes, scope changes, interdisciplinary interfaces, and emerging project issues, including supporting the technical justification of change orders where required.

Support construction, commissioning, and start-up by coordinating responses to technical queries, field design changes, vendor requirements, site issues, and integration with the power end user.

Mentor junior engineers and EITs while championing engineering quality, safety, constructability, operability, maintainability, and continuous improvement across the Project Engineering team.

The Skills That Set You Apart

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, or another relevant engineering discipline.

Registered P.Eng. in Canada.

6 to 10 years of progressive engineering experience, preferably within power generation, energy, industrial, or related infrastructure sectors.

Demonstrated Project Engineering experience on power generation, cogeneration, thermal power, utility, energy infrastructure, industrial facilities, or comparable multidisciplinary projects.

Experience with systems and equipment such as gas turbines, steam systems, generators, heat recovery equipment, fuel gas systems, electrical systems, utilities, balance-of-plant equipment, and associated mechanical and control systems is considered an asset.

Strong understanding of multidisciplinary project execution and interfaces across…
