• Support the development of Construction Work Packages (CWPs), including project descriptions, construction specifications, IFC drawings, and material lists.
• Prepare engineering man-hour estimates and contribute to overall project scheduling.
• Provide engineering support for procurement activities, including MRQ/MRP development, technical bid evaluations, and vendor drawing reviews.
• Establish detailed engineering design criteria.
• Provide engineering support during construction, including field engineering, inspections, and specialized studies.
• Review the work of others to ensure design integrity and consistency throughout the project.
• Lead the development of electrical designs for projects and proposals.
• Perform detailed design, sizing, and calculations, and verify/check designs completed by others.
• Take a lead role in the preparation of electrical Material Take-Offs (MTOs) and man-hour estimates.
• Analyze vendor and subcontractor designs for compliance and technical accuracy.
• Coordinate all activities within the electrical engineering discipline for the project.
• Review, check, and approve all engineering deliverables produced by the discipline team.
• Develop and evaluate electrical equipment and construction specifications.
• Ensure effective coordination with other disciplines across all project phases.

Requirements

Power generation is the largest and most critical component in data center design. With power requirements ranging from 300MW to 2,000MW, we are seeking Electrical Engineers with experience in the design of high-voltage power generation systems utilizing turbine generators in conjunction with grid connections as well as power distribution to support data center loads. The Senior Power Generation and Distribution Electrical Engineer will be responsible for the design, development, and procurement of electrical equipment for various projects. This role also ensures that all electrical specifications, codes, standards, and QA/QC procedures are properly followed and enforced. In addition, the Senior Electrical Engineer will provide technical support and leadership to the electrical team throughout the design, construction, commissioning, and start-up phases of the projects.

• Experience in data center electrical systems.
• Strong knowledge of protective relaying, generator control systems, and electrical equipment sizing and specifications.
• Must possess strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Familiarity with project management methodologies.
• Proficient in high, medium, and low voltage power generation (using single or combined-cycle turbine generators) and distribution design.
• Minimum 10+ years in oil and gas or power generation experience and distribution.
• Ability to effectively coordinate with other engineering disciplines.
• Experienced in electrical safety regulations and code compliance requirements.
• P. Eng. and Electrical Engineering or related Engineering degree preferred.
• Thorough knowledge of applications, electrical codes and standards (i.e. NEC, CSA, IEEE, API).
