• Oversee project scope, priorities, schedules, staffing, consultant and vendor coordination, deliverables, and operational handover for electrical, automation, control, and multidisciplinary engineering projects, without independently performing or approving regulated professional engineering work unless appropriately licensed to do so.

• Meet with clients, internal stakeholders, contractors, vendors, consultants, and project partners to understand business and project requirements, coordinate scopes of work, establish project priorities, budgets and schedules, and arrange appropriate technical input from qualified project personnel and licensed professional engineers where required.

• Assign, coordinate, supervise, and monitor the work of engineers, designers, technologists, technicians, consultants, and project teams; establish responsibilities; review project progress; and ensure deliverables are completed efficiently, on schedule, and within approved budgets.

• Manage the internal review and quality-control process for calculations, drawings, specifications, equipment selections, control documentation, technical reports, and other project deliverables, and ensure documents requiring professional engineering review, authentication, or sealing are referred to and completed by the responsible licensed professional engineer.

• Coordinate electrical systems work with mechanical, piping, architectural, interior design, construction, commissioning, automation, AI and other project disciplines, as well as with clients, contractors, suppliers, authorities having jurisdiction, and external consultants.

• Evaluate emerging technologies and sustainable electrical solutions from a project-planning and business perspective, including solar power, EV charging, smart microgrids, electrification, intelligent monitoring, and energy-efficiency measures, and coordinate technical assessments by qualified engineering personnel where required.

• Ensure departmental workflows and project quality-management processes address applicable Canadian and project-specific codes, standards, regulatory requirements, and professional-practice obligations, and ensure regulated engineering decisions and professional documents are reviewed and authenticated by the appropriate licensed professional engineer.

• Coordinate project troubleshooting, testing, commissioning, technical escalations, and operational handover activities, and ensure issues that require professional engineering analysis, advice, or approval are referred to qualified licensed professional engineers.

• Prepare departmental and project reports, staffing and resource plans, budget updates, project-status reports, risk summaries, and management recommendations, and support the company's engineering strategy, service development, and continuous improvement initiatives. 

Employment requirements
