Electrical Discipline Lead

**Company Overview**

Mid-sized EPC firm specializing in decarbonization and energy transition projects. Current and upcoming portfolio is 100% focused on CO₂ capture, gas processing, helium recovery, and power generation facilities across North America.

**Role Summary**

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Discipline Lead to act as the single point of accountability for all electrical engineering and design across the company. This is a true discipline-head position — you will own standards, quality, man-hour budgets, resource allocation, and final sign-off on every electrical deliverable that leaves the electrical group.

Key Project Types You Will Own (Current and Awarded Work)
- Carbon capture facilities - 500 to 1,000 metric tonnes per day CO₂
- Gas turbine and reciprocating engine power generation - 10 MW to 100 MW
- Natural gas processing plants - up to 100 MMscfd
- High-pressure natural gas compression stations - up to 200 MMscfd
- Helium recovery, purification, compression and liquefaction plants

All projects are greenfield and brownfield in Canada and the U.S., with heavy emphasis on hazardous-area design (Class I Div 1 & 2 / Zone 0, 1, 2), IECEx/ATEX alongside NEC/CEC compliance, and integration with large variable-frequency drives (5-40 MW), high-voltage substations (up to 230 kV), and DCS/SCADA systems.

**Responsibilities**:

- Full technical and budgetary authority over the entire electrical department (engineers + designers)
- Establish and maintain company electrical standards, specifications, and tools.
- Lead or personally perform power system studies (load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, arc-flash, transient motor starting, harmonics)
- Oversee substation design, MV/LV switchgear specification, large VFD packages, emergency/standby generation, and grounding grids, heat-trace systems
- Resource planning, hiring, mentoring, and performance reviews for all electrical staff
- Client-facing technical authority on all electrical matters
- Final review and professional seal on all electrical deliverables

Required Qualifications
- Minimum 10 years of direct electrical design and engineering experience on mid-to-large oil & gas, gas processing, CO₂ capture, helium, or power generation projects
- Verifiable project experience on at least three of the five project types listed above (CO₂ capture, 10-100 MW power gen, 100 MMscfd gas plants, 200 MMscfd compression, helium purification/liquefaction)
- Expert-level knowledge of CSA C22.1/CEC, NFPA 70/NEC, IEEE, API, and IEC standards in hazardous locations
- Proven track record acting as discipline lead or department head in an EPC environment

Preferred (Nice-to-Have)
- Experience with carbon capture amine or membrane plants
- Familiarity with helium process electrical loads (cryogenic compressors, expanders, cold boxes)
- Previous work in both Canada and U.S. regulatory environments

What We Offer
- True discipline ownership with direct reporting to senior leadership
- Opportunity to build and lead the electrical group during rapid growth phase
- Highly competitive compensation, annual bonus tied to project success

If you are a registered P.Eng./P.E. with proven discipline-lead experience on the exact types of energy-transition and gas projects we execute, we want to hear from you immediately.
