The Opportunity

You will work on low- to medium-voltage overhead and underground distribution projects that modernize energy infrastructure and solve real power delivery challenges. You will grow your technical expertise through meaningful project work, mentorship, and collaboration with a supportive team of engineers, designers, and stakeholders.

Your Impact

• Design overhead and underground power distribution systems for projects ranging from customer connections to large-scale system reconfigurations.
• Prepare engineering calculations, design packages, equipment sizing, material specifications, and construction documentation.
• Apply distribution design software, relevant codes, and standards, including CSA, to deliver accurate and compliant designs.
• Coordinate with clients, project managers, and internal teams to support seamless project delivery, estimates, schedules, bids, and engineering support.
• Conduct quality reviews, site visits, and construction-phase support to maintain safety, accuracy, and project standards.
• Strengthen client relationships and contribute to continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and high-quality project outcomes.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• Degree in Engineering and P.Eng in British Columbia or near final stages of license.
• Between 5 to 10 years of experience with distribution line design (4 kV–35 kV), overhead/underground systems, and utility standards.
• Exposure to non-linear powerline design software such as PLS-CADD, SPIDAcalc, etc.
• Proficiency with distribution modelling, structure analysis tools, and CAD/drafting interfaces.
• Familiarity with CSA standards, utility construction practices, grounding, clearances, and load calculations.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to balance safety, cost, and performance.
• Ability to work collaboratively across engineering, environmental, and planning disciplines.
