Engineer V

Join to apply for the Engineer V role at Énergie NB Power

At NB Power we are a team committed to offering the best customer experience, ensuring energy security, and accelerating a sustainable clean energy transition. We are actively seeking new members to join us.

The Mactaquac Generating Station, which began generating electricity in 1968, has been affected by alkali‑aggregate reaction (AAR). NB Power is proposing a project to ensure the station can operate to its intended 100‑year lifespan with a modified approach to maintenance, and adjusting and replacing equipment and concrete over time.

As part of the Mactaquac Life Achievement Project, the Engineer V will lead a team of engineers responsible for all aspects of design and construction of project work. This includes ensuring NB Power is prepared to complete the preliminary designs required and overseeing and coordinating all design and construction work performed by external consultants to ensure safety, environment, quality, efficiency, and compliance with organizational standards.
