Project Engineer Specialist - Transmission Engineering (Multiple Disciplines)

Number of positions: 5 Job Location: Edmonds A02

Employment type: Permanent Region: Lower Mainland

Hours of work: Full-time (37.5 hrs/wk) Flexible Work Role: Hybrid

Annual salary: $ 109,700.00 - 138,700.00

Position Highlights
This position is for a Project Engineer Specialist within the Transmission Project Engineering Division. BC Hydro is
expanding and upgrading our power system to support BC’s growing demand for clean energy. In this role, you’ll lead
multidisciplinary teams working on exciting and impactful projects across BC Hydro’s transmission system.

This is an exciting leadership opportunity for someone who enjoys working on a wide variety of projects, each with its own
unique scope, assets, stakeholders, risks and technical aspects. While the work is based out of Burnaby, you’ll get to travel
to BC Hydro’s facilities located throughout British Columbia and may occasionally travel to other parts of North America and
internationally. Multiple positions are available within the various teams in the Transmission Project Engineering Division.

What you'll do

  • You'll plan and manage the engineering component (Scope, Schedule, and Cost) of large capital projects which typically
have a considerable profile, technical complexity, and risk. Projects may include work being designed entirely within BC
Hydro, entirely outside of BC Hydro, or a combination thereof. Typical projects include new or upgrades to existing
transmission substations and lines and associated protection, controls, and communication systems.

  • You'll establish design and review plans, strategies, schedules, and resource requirements for the engineering work on
your projects, and work with functional managers to establish project teams. You'll coordinate and oversee the development
of reports, technical specifications and drawings and may manage engineering consultant's contracts. You work with other
teams within and outside of BC Hydro to ensure technical support is provided during manufacturing, construction, and
commissioning, and that technical issues are resolved.

  • You may perform the Owner's Engineer Lead role on projects where some or all engineering work is done by a third party
such as an outside consultant or equipment vendor. As an Owner's Engineer Lead, you will coordinate and lead the internal
review and acceptance of work designed by a third party.

  • Understanding the business in which we operate is key for this role. As such, you'll maintain collaborative relationships
across the organization and use your understanding of business requirements and processes to lead the engineering work.
You will make or review recommendations on complex project matters. This may include presenting to senior management
and the executive.

  • You will coach members of your project teams to help resolve issues. You will mentor and coach others, either within the
department or in other groups.

What you bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred; other disciplines may be considered in conjunction with relevant
experience on complex large infrastructure projects.

  • Eligibility for immediate registration as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng) with Engineers and Geoscientists of BC (EGBC).

  • A minimum of 10 years of engineering experience, preferably including design of transmission stations/lines projects.
Engineering experience through the total project life cycle, from conceptual design through to testing and commissioning is
considered an asset. Candidates with less experience may be considered at a corresponding position level.

  • A minimum of 4 years leading and coordinating multi-discipline design on medium to large projects, preferably on projects
similar in nature to BC Hydro in terms of size, complexity, and stakeholders. Candidates with less experience may be
considered at a corresponding position level.

  • Ability to understand the impact of the project on the transmission system and operations, and to understand the
interactions and priorities required to deliver multi-discipline projects.

  • Excellent leadership, communication and influencing skills.

  • Good understanding of Project Management processes. Strong knowledge of BC Hydro’s project delivery processes and
design practice is an asset.

  • Experience managing Owner’s reviews of multi-discipline engineering work being completed externally is an asset.

  • Site experience on large construction projects such as hydroelectric generation stations, transmission substations, or
transmission lines is an asset.

  • A valid Class 5 Driver’s license.

What we offer

  • A comprehensive benefits package
  • A minimum of 15 paid vacation days
  • A lifetime pension
  • Flexible work model, depending on your role type
  • Training and development courses
