About this role
Overview
AtkinsRéalis is expanding our Hydropower team in Newfoundland to support a series of nation-building projects and hydropower refurbishments that help keep Canada's electrical grid reliable for decades to come. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will develop design packages for hydroelectric balance-of-plant systems including high/medium/low voltage systems, and support project delivery from conceptual design through construction support and commissioning as required. This role is based…
out of St. John's office and offers a hybrid working environment, with travel to project sites as required.
Your role
- Prepare conceptual and detailed designs for hydroelectric Balance of Plant (BoP) electrical systems, including medium and high voltage systems, station service AC/DC distribution systems, motor controls, grounding systems, MV/LV cable systems, cable tray systems, and associated equipment layouts.
- Perform, coordinate, and review electrical engineering studies including protection coordination, short circuit, load flow, grounding, and arc flash analyses using ETAP (or equivalent), and document study results.
- Develop technical specifications and design packages for major electrical equipment including MV switchgear, generator circuit breakers, LV station service equipment, generator step-up transformers, isolated-phase bus (IPB), and high-voltage AIS/GIS systems.
- Prepare engineering drawings and documentation including single line diagrams, relay and metering one-lines, AC three-line diagrams, elementary schematics, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, cable schedules, and related design deliverables.
- Coordinate instrumentation and control interfaces and support electrical deliverables for auxiliary plant systems such as lighting, fire alarm, security/access control, HVAC electrical interfaces, and other building services.
- Support project delivery activities including estimating, proposal development, conceptual design studies, field reviews, RFIs, contractor coordination, commissioning support, and timely resolution of site issues.
- Maintain complete project documentation and ensure compliance with AtkinsRéalis Safety, Environmental, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control requirements throughout all phases of project execution.
