Are you passionate about solving complex challenges and helping shape the future of power generation? As part of our Electric Power team, you will play a key role in delivering innovative, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions that support the evolving needs of utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), industrial facilities, mining operations, and other critical infrastructure clients.

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will lead the mechanical scope and design for power generation projects. You will develop and review power system designs, specifications, calculations, studies, and technical deliverables while ensuring compliance with applicable codes, standards, and project objectives.

Reporting to the Director, Electric Power you will serve as a technical leader and collaborate with engineering disciplines, customers, subcontractors, utilities, and vendors to deliver safe, reliable, and cost-effective solutions. The successful candidate is a proactive problem solver who takes ownership, exercises sound judgment, and thrives in a collaborative environment.

Principle Responsibilities and Duties

• Review and interpret customer requirements, technical specifications and project scope for electric power projects.
• Support the mechanical design and execution of packaged power-generation systems for power plants and other critical infrastructure applications.
• Develop piping, insulation and mechanical specifications based on project requirements.
• Develop mechanical layouts and prepare or approve P&IDs, process flow diagrams and general arrangement drawings.
• Review and approve piping isometrics and other fabrication drawings extracted from 3D models.
• Review and validate 2D and 3D designs for mechanical and piping systems.
• Prepare and review specifications and requisitions for piping, mechanical equipment and purchased components.
• Prepare mechanical scopes of work for equipment suppliers, contractors and fabrication subcontractors.
• Provide technical information for purchase requisitions and Bills of Materials.
• Perform engineering calculations and prepare mechanical equipment data sheets.
• Perform equipment selection and sizing, including pumps, heat-transfer equipment and balance-of-plant components.
• Collaborate on the design and implementation of fuel gas, cooling, lubrication oil, exhaust, condensate, piping and other mechanical systems used in packaged power-generation applications.
• Represent the mechanical engineering discipline during design reviews, technical meetings and manufacturing kick-off meetings.
• Work closely with Project Management, Project Engineering, Proposals, Design and Drafting, Procurement and Manufacturing throughout project execution.
• Provide technical support to manufacturing and fabrication facilities during project execution.
• Respond to technical questions and help resolve design or fabrication issues.
• Support factory testing, commissioning and troubleshooting activities as required.
• Assist project teams with technical requirements, design changes and scope clarifications.
• Ensure engineering deliverables are accurate, complete, within scope and compliant with applicable quality procedures, project plans, codes and standards.
• Contribute to design standardization, lessons learned and continuous improvement initiatives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Current registration as a P.Eng. in a Canadian province with a minimum of 5 years of experience in power system design.
• Minimum of 5 to 7 years of relevant mechanical engineering experience.
• Experience in power generation, packaged equipment, energy or industrial engineering projects is preferred.
• Experience supporting power solutions for power plants or other critical infrastructure is considered an asset.
• Knowledge of natural-gas engine-generator systems and associated mechanical systems is considered an asset.
• Experience with fuel gas, gas treatment, cooling, lubrication oil, exhaust, condensate or heat-transfer systems is considered an asset.
• Strong technical skills in mechanical equipment selection, pump sizing and balance-of-plant components.
• Proficiency in P&ID design and mechanical layout development.
• Experience reviewing piping isometrics, general arrangements and process flow diagrams.
• Experience with 2D and 3D engineering design tools.
• Experience with CadWorx, AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor is considered an asset.
• Knowledge of applicable CSA and ASME codes and standards.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and relevant engineering software.
