Job description

Your future role on our team:

Lead projects that connect renewable energy, energy storage and hyperscale data centers to the grid. Bring your high-voltage expertise to projects that are changing how electricity is generated, stored and delivered.

At BBA, our teams work on major grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), wind and solar developments, and the power infrastructure supporting hyperscale data centres. Our portfolio includes involvement in the largest grid-scale BESS project built in Canada—an opportunity to apply your expertise where project scale, technical complexity and reliable grid integration come together.

We’re looking for a senior electrical engineer who combines strong technical judgement with initiative, curiosity and the ability to bring people together. You’ll lead high-voltage and power-system engineering assignments, guide multidisciplinary teams and help clients navigate critical design and interconnection decisions.

This is a hands-on leadership role with room to shape technical solutions, mentor emerging talent and build lasting client relationships. You’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution within a collaborative team.


With us, you’ll get the opportunity to...

  • Lead electrical engineering for high-voltage substations, renewable generation, grid-scale BESS and hyperscale data-centre power infrastructure.
  • Guide projects from feasibility and technology selection through grid interconnection, detailed design, construction support and commissioning.
  • Develop and review engineering designs, equipment specifications and technical reports, bringing sound judgement to safety, reliability, constructability and cost.
  • Coordinate substation, collector-system, protection and control, and power-system study interfaces to deliver integrated solutions.
  • Help clients navigate utility requirements, connection assessments and technical approvals, working with the IESO, utilities and other stakeholders.
  • Lead multidisciplinary teams, define scopes and budgets, coordinate resources and maintain technical quality throughout project execution.
  • Mentor junior and intermediate engineers, technicians and designers through practical guidance, design reviews and knowledge sharing.
  • Build trusted client relationships, identify opportunities and contribute to proposals and presentations alongside BBA’s technical and business development teams.
  • Stay connected to the field through site visits, technical troubleshooting and commissioning support.

Do your qualities and values match our corporate culture?

  • Autonomous
  • Aptitude for self-development
  • Results-driven
  • Excellent communication and soft skills
  • Attention to detail
  • Strong organizational skills
  • Thirst to learn and excel
  • Rigorous and ethical
