Description
What you'll do
* This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working on a wide variety of projects, each with its own unique scope, assets, stakeholders, risks and technical aspects. While the work is based out of Burnaby, you'll get to travel to BC Hydro's facilities located throughout British Columbia and may occasionally travel to other parts of North America and internationally.
* In the Project Engineer role, you will manage the engineering component (Scope, Schedule and Cost) of large and/or technically complex projects which typically have a considerable profile, complexity and risk. Projects may include work being designed entirely within BC Hydro, entirely outside of BC Hydro, or a combination thereof. Typical projects include: transmission system upgrade projects including substations, transmission lines and associated protection and communications systems.
* You may perform the Owner's Engineer Lead role on projects where some or all of the engineering work is done by a third party such as an outside consultant or equipment vendor. As an Owner's Engineer Lead, you will coordinate and lead the internal review and acceptance of work designed by a third party.
* You will work closely with project managers to manage the scope, schedule and cost of the project. You will identify and manage the project technical risks, including system integration with the existing transmission system and other issues. You work with functional managers to establish the engineering teams on your projects. You establish design and review plans, strategies, schedules and resource requirements for the engineering work on your projects. You coordinate and oversee the development of technical specifications and drawings and may manage engineering consultant's contracts. You work with Construction and Contract Management, the Engineering teams, Quality Management, and Field Operations to ensure that technical support is provided during manufacturing, construction and commissioning and that technical issues are resolved in a timely manner.
* You will make or review recommendations and other types of communications to management on complex project matters. This may include presenting to senior management and the executive. * You will coach members of your project teams to help them to resolve issues or advance their work. You may mentor and coach others performing project engineer roles, either within the department or in other groups.
