About this role
Job Description EBC thinks outside the box and deploys all its know-how to carry out major infrastructure projects: bridges, roads, highways, tunnels, marine installations. Our ability to meet deadlines and budgets as well as our vast expertise in the field allow us to actively participate in large-scale projects such as the Samuel-De-Champlain Bridge, the Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM) and the Site C hydro-electric power station located near Fort St-John in British Columbia.
Our seasoned team of engineers, project managers and other specialists also put their energy into the construction of wind farms and to the benefit of hydroelectric projects such as dams, power stations, tunnels and dikes. EBC is positioned as a true leader in this sector. Our range of specialized services has made our reputation in Canada.
EBC Inc. is seeking a Project Engineer ? Electrical & Controls for our Ladore seismic upgrade project located in Campbell River, BC.
Reporting to the Project Director, the Project Engineer ? Electrical & Controls owns the engineering delivery of the project's electrical, controls, HVAC, fire protection and diesel generator scopes ? the systems that power, control and protect a new spillway gate facility for a major hydroelectric dam safety upgrade. The work spans five new buildings and structures, complete AC and DC power distribution, spillway gate protection and controls, roughly 29 km of power, instrumentation and communications cable, and carries the project through decommissioning of existing systems to energization, commissioning and return to service. Field execution is performed by the project's electrical subcontractor, making this role as much subcontract and interface management as engineering delivery.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Direct and coordinate the electrical subcontractor and their sub-subcontractors: scope alignment, submittal program, look-aheads, field support and interface management.
• Carry the commercial management of the electrical subcontract: maintain working knowledge of the subcontract and its rules of credit, verify measurement for payment in the field, and review monthly progress payment applications and invoices before certification.
• Manage submittals and shop drawings (P.Eng-sealed where required), design-build packages (HVAC controls, fire protection, generator fuel systems), product data, ITPs and O&M manuals within specified review periods.
• Raise, track and close RFIs and technical queries with the Owner's Engineer, maintaining traceability between design changes and affected work.
• Coordinate installation and testing of major owner-supplied electrical equipment (LV switchgear, motor control centres, DC distribution, battery inverter system, gate control panels), including receipt, storage and handover.
• Manage the cable and raceway program ? power, instrumentation, PLC and fibre-optic cables, duct banks, conduit and cable tray ? with pulling schedules, termination records and test documentation.
• Plan and execute the commissioning sequence: panel wiring checks, loop checks, functional and integrated testing, FAT/SAT witness, energization and return to service, in coordination with the owner and other commissioning contractors.
• Plan and sequence decommissioning and removal of existing electrical and control systems while maintaining continuous operability of the spillway gates.
• Generate micro-schedules for self-performed work and require the same from the electrical subcontractor, feeding the project master schedule and monitoring progress of individual task
