- North York, ON
- $130,492-170,491 per year
- Permanent
- Full-time
- This position requires a BSME in mechanical engineering from a Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board-accredited undergraduate program or a US based ABET-accredited program with a strong academic background.
- 10 or more years of experience in the electric power industry, including experience in detailed design of the mechanical systems of conventional power projects, specifically:
- Simple cycle gas turbines
- Combined cycle projects
- Coal fired generation,
- Steam systems, or
- Reciprocating engines (RICE)
- Experience in development support and conceptual design of conventional power projects
- Excellent technical communication and writing skills are required.
- Experience in technical due diligence and owner’s engineering design reviews of conventional power projects is a plus.
- General understanding of power station operations and performance reviews is a plus.
- General understanding of process design at electric power generation facilities is a plus.
- Economic, cost analysis, and contract development experience is a plus.
- A familiarity with international design codes and standards is preferred.
- You are expected to lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.
- Leaders in these roles often direct automation and process-improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guiding when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked.
- Overseeing engineers who program or script (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate engineering tasks, with review of automated outputs, is valued but not required.
- We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that enables effective oversight of automation and agentic AI-enabled engineering workflows.
