Canada Renewable Energy Project Leader

Joining Arup

Arup’s purpose, shared values, and collaborative approach have set us apart for over 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

With a rapidly expanding pipeline of renewable energy projects across Canada, Arup is seeking a Canada Renewable Energy Project Leader to strengthen our leadership, technical delivery, and market presence across wind, solar, storage and emerging energy technologies.

Our team is actively delivering renewable energy projects nationwide to support Canada’s transition to a low‑carbon energy system. This role will play a central part in advancing Arup’s position across the full renewable energy value chain and shape Canada’s renewable energy future – working across a diverse portfolio of projects while combining technical leadership with market‑facing growth responsibilities, collaborating with Arup’s global network of experts, and contributing to a purpose‑driven organization committed to sustainability and innovation.

The position combines project leadership, technical excellence, and team development, with responsibility spanning multiple renewable technologies, including:

• Onshore and offshore wind
• Solar PV
• Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
• Hybrid and integrated energy systems

While broad capability across renewable technologies is essential, strong experience delivering detailed design for wind energy projects is a core requirement, providing the technical foundation and market credibility for this role.

• Project Leadership & Delivery

  Lead delivery of complex, multi‑disciplinary renewable energy projects across Canada, including wind, solar and storage. Act as senior technical lead on major renewable energy projects. Oversee all phases from early development and due diligence through to detailed design, construction and operation. Manage project financial performance including revenue, profitability and forecasting. Ensure strong commercial governance, contract management and risk mitigation. Lead or support proposals, bids and commercial negotiations.

• Technical Leadership

  Bring deep expertise in wind energy detailed design, including wind farm layout, electrical systems, grid integration and construction support. Provide technical leadership across renewable energy systems, including wind, solar and storage technologies. Support integration of renewable assets into the broader energy system, including transmission, distribution and energy storage. Establish and uphold technical quality, assurance and design excellence across all projects.

• People & Capability Development

  Support growth of renewable energy capability in Canada across multiple technologies. Identify hiring needs and contribute to recruitment and team building. Mentor and develop multidisciplinary teams across power systems, civil and advisory disciplines. Leverage Arup’s global network to bring best‑in‑class expertise into Canadian projects.
