Director, Data Centres and New Large Loads - Power Market

Anoverview of your future role at BBA

BBAsupports all players across the energy ecosystem, including power generation, transmissionand distribution. We also support large industrial energy users, mainly in the mining,oil and gas sectors. More recently, we've seen growing demand from a new categoryof large energy consumers, particularly data centres. To date, BBA'sinvolvement in the data centre market has been largely reactive, with developersand builders reaching out to us for our expertise in grid interconnections and powersystems. Going forward, BBA will take a deliberate and proactive approach tothis market by establishing a dedicated data centre business line.

Drawingon more than 45 years of experience solving complex electrical challenges,BBA's go-to-market strategy will be guided by the following principles:

• Avoid commoditybuilding design and leverage strategic partnerships where appropriate.
• Focus on projects largerthan 25 MW.
• Lead the high-voltagescope.
• Lead grid integrationactivities.
• Lead substationdesign and delivery.
• Lead generationstrategy development.

Anoverview of your mandates and responsibilities

You'll source and ensure successful delivery ofpower projects to meet the energy needs of large-load clients, primarily data centres. You'll also occasionally support other industrial, community and utilityclients operating in remote or partially grid‐connected environments. Initially, the role willfocus on regional clients across Canada and gradually expand to include the U.S.market.

As a renewable power professional, you'll lead themodelling, optimization and delivery of complex energy projects involvingrenewable technologies, including wind, solar PV, BESS, thermal andhydroelectric power. Your work will include studies, roadmaps and projectexecution.

BBA operates within a matrix structure, and the NewLarge Loads business line you'll lead has both national and internationalfocus. The business line is accountable for defining market strategy and overseeingsector performance. To deliver on its mandates, it works closely with BBA'soperational teams and disciplines across Canada and the USA.
