• Develop and review technical specifications and support vendor reviews, supplier qualification, testing, and commissioning activities

• Support procurement and tendering activities by preparing technical requirements, coordinating supplier information, maintaining technical Q&A logs, and reviewing EPC bidder proposals

• Coordinate external engineering consultants and support technical coordination and design-review meetings

• Review and coordinate engineering designs and technical documentation from suppliers, consultants, and contractors, identifying gaps and supporting the timely resolution of comments

• Conduct site visits to verify that construction and installation activities align with approved designs, drawings, specifications, and quality expectations

• Provide technical support during construction and commissioning, assisting with the resolution of design, installation, and project-execution issues

• Review Factory Acceptance Test procedures and reports to confirm alignment with project requirements

Required Qualifications and Skills:

• An educational background in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant technical experience

• At least two years of project engineering, systems engineering, or related technical experience, ideally supporting utility-scale energy, power, or electrical infrastructure projects

• General understanding of low- and medium-voltage electrical systems, including electrical installation design, cable sizing, short-circuit and load-flow analysis, protective-device coordination, and arc-flash studies

• Ability to interpret and review engineering drawings, technical specifications, and project documentation

• General knowledge of grid-interconnection requirements and applicable renewable energy and energy storage codes and standards, including UL, NFPA, IEEE, NETA, NERC, and relevant regional market requirements

• Ability to travel up to 25% within Canada and the United States, including occasional multi-day site visits

• Experience with utility-scale battery energy storage systems, lithium-ion battery technology, medium-voltage substations, or renewable energy projects is considered an asset
