Senior Electrical Engineer - Collector Networks (Wind Farms)

Overview

In the context of the development of wind projects in Quebec and internationally, we are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who will play a key role in the design and coordination of medium voltage collector networks for wind farms.

The selected person will act as a technical reference for collection systems, from the conceptual stage to support during commissioning, applying the best practices of the wind industry in Canada and internationally.

Your Role

• Lead the design of medium voltage (MV) collector networks for land-based wind projects;
• Define the optimal electrical architecture: voltage levels, circuit topology, protection and earthing strategy;
• Develop and review single-line diagrams, layout plans, cable calculations, loss and short-circuit studies;
• Select and specify MV equipment (cables, switchgear, transformers, protection, disconnect equipment);
• Ensure integration of the collector network with the substation and point of interconnection;
• Collaborate closely with civil engineering, environmental, substation, and interconnection teams;
• Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards in Quebec, as well as the requirements of wind farm owners and operators;
• Apply and promote the best practices in wind farm design, derived from Canadian and international projects;
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to less experienced engineers and designers;
• Support construction, testing, and commissioning phases as needed.

About You

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a member in good standing of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ);
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in medium voltage electrical network design;
• Significant experience in the design of collector networks for wind projects;
• Solid understanding of wind farm design principles (performance, reliability, constructability, maintainability);
• Familiarity with wind design practices in Canada and internationally;
• Good knowledge of applicable standards (CSA, IEC, IEEE, local utility standards);
• Technical leadership and ability to make structural engineering decisions;
• Excellent communication, multidisciplinary coordination, and teamwork skills.
• Rigor, autonomy, and practical engineering project sense.
• Strong French language skills (working language) and good communication skills (oral and written) in English*.
• This position requires knowledge of another language besides French, i.e., English, as you will be part of a Canadian, global, or regional leadership team and will need to collaborate with colleagues outside of Quebec.
