Transmission Planning Engineer

Are you ready to launch your career in the dynamic world of power systems and transmission planning? This is your opportunity to join a team that values curiosity, collaboration, and technical excellence. We're looking for motivated individuals who want to learn, grow, and make a real impact in the energy sector.


Why This Role Is Different

This isn't a typical engineering position that demands years of experience. Instead, we're seeking individuals who understand the fundamentals of power systems and can interpret what the data is telling us-and more importantly, explain why and where changes occur. If you're passionate about solving complex problems and communicating technical insights clearly, this role is for you.


What You'll Do

  • Perform transmission planning studies, including:
    • Power flow analysis
    • Voltage stability assessments
    • Short-circuit and transient stability studies
  • Analyze system performance and identify areas for improvement.
  • Collaborate with senior engineers to develop solutions for transmission challenges.
  • Communicate findings effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Contribute to projects that support grid reliability and future energy needs.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong understanding of power system fundamentals and electrical engineering principles.
  • Ability to interpret data and explain technical concepts clearly.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard software tools such as:
    • PSS/E, TARA, ETAP
    • Bonus points for experience with PSCAD or Aspen.
  • Exposure to transmission studies through academic projects or professional experience.
  • A proactive mindset and willingness to learn from experienced mentors.

What We Offer

  • Career Growth: Hands-on training and mentorship from senior engineers who are invested in your success.
  • Comprehensive Benefits:
    • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
    • 15 days of paid PTO plus unlimited PTO
    • Observance of all provincial holidays
    • RRSP with 3% company match
  • A collaborative and supportive work environment where your ideas matter.

Who Thrives Here

You're curious, analytical, and eager to learn. You enjoy digging into data, asking the right questions, and explaining your findings in a way that others can understand. You're not afraid to take initiative and you see challenges as opportunities to grow.
