Power System Engineer

About the Role

The Power Systems Engineer executes electrical power system network analysis, site reliability and safety audits, performs electrical engineering design and provides solution‑based engineering proposals. In this role you will perform power system engineering analysis for industrial and commercial electric power systems—including protection coordination, short‑circuit calculations, arc‑flash hazard assessments, power flow, power quality studies, and site audits—and design improvements to medium‑ and low‑voltage distribution networks. You will evaluate results, prepare written reports with findings and mitigation recommendations, and develop cost estimates and bid proposals. Collaboration with the Solutions Sales team and direct on‑site interaction with customers will be essential to qualify needs, propose energy solutions, and ensure projects meet sustainability goals such as microgrids while enhancing safety and reliability. • Conduct power system analysis (coordination, short‑circuit, arc‑flash, power flow, quality) and site audits for medium/low‑voltage distribution. • Prepare reports with findings, recommendations, and mitigation solutions. • Design improvements to upgrade electrical distribution, supporting sustainability goals such as microgrids. • Collaborate with sales team and customers to qualify needs and propose energy solutions. • Provide cost estimates, bid proposals, and technical support for projects. • Ensure compliance with codes, standards, safety, reliability, and quality control. • Manage project timelines and maintain long‑term customer relationships. • Travel to customer locations across Canada as required.
