• Support substation engineering deliverables by assisting with calculations, technical notes, and design documentation.
• Prepare and update drawings, single-line diagrams, and design markups in collaboration with designers and engineers.
• Assist with power system studies and analyses (e.g., load flow, short circuit, equipment sizing) under supervision.
• Compile and organize project information (specifications, standards, vendor data, and field notes) to help keep designs accurate and current.
• Participate in internal coordination and project meetings, capturing key actions and supporting follow-through.
• Contribute to quality checks by reviewing documents for completeness, consistency, and alignment with project requirements.
• Learn and apply safe work practices and support project teams during occasional site visits when required.

• Experience or coursework exposure to technical documentation such as single-line diagrams, schematics, or drawing sets.
• Working knowledge of common engineering tools (e.g., Excel) and comfort learning new software quickly (CAD or power system tools are an asset).
• Ability to communicate clearly and collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams (engineering, drafting/design, project management).
