Position Highlights
BC Hydro is looking for two (2) experienced Electrical Site Engineers – one based in Revelstoke Generating Station, and
one based in Northern BC – to support major construction projects and ensure electrical systems are constructed and
commissioned safely, correctly, and to the highest engineering standards. If you are a self-starter who thrives in the field,

critical infrastructure for Canada’s future. In this role, success means safe execution, well-coordinated construction and
commissioning activities, strong relationships with contractors and designers, and electrical systems are brought online
smoothly and reliably. Joining this team means contributing directly to projects that strengthen communities, enable
industry, and shape B.C.’s energy future.
What you'll do
- Lead field engineering, construction oversight, testing, commissioning, energization and turnover activities for electrical
and protection & control (P&C) systems on major BC Hydro capital projects.
- Lead or oversee construction and commissioning activities to ensure systems are delivered in conformance with contract
scope, technical specifications, engineering design intent and issued-for-construction drawings. You ensure testing and
inspections are planned, witnessed, documented and completed in accordance with approved procedures.
- Provide technical leadership for switchgear, transformers, circuit breakers, reactive equipment, protection systems,
generator and turbine controls, communications networks, instrumentation, auxiliary systems, station and water conveyance
control systems.
- Develop, review, or recommend: commissioning plans, commissioning procedures, energization plans, isolation plans,
inspection and test plans, system completion strategies and turnover documentation.
- Coordinate construction, commissioning and outage activities with contractors, OEMs, construction management, design
engineering, operations and maintenance personnel. You lead the transition from construction to commissioning and from
commissioning to operations.
- Review vendor inspection and test procedures (ITPs), commissioning packages, test reports and technical submissions
for technical and contractual compliance.
- Witness, direct and accept testing activities and review commissioning results to verify equipment performance,
functionality, reliability and safety.
- Perform field reviews and first level quality assurance activities to verify compliance with drawings, specifications,
standards, contracts and engineering requirements.
