Job Description

Ehvert, a Salas O’Brien Company, is seeking a Power Studies Engineer (PSCAD) to help analyze and support the design of electrical power systems for hyperscale and AI data centers. This is a remote position covering complex projects across Canada and North America, with a focus on power system studies, modeling, technical documentation, and coordination with utility stakeholders.

In this role, you will apply advanced study methods to evaluate system performance under steady-state and transient conditions, while maintaining electrical system models and producing engineering deliverables that support project execution and commissioning.

Responsibilities

Perform power system studies including load flow, short circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash, grounding, power quality, harmonic analysis, transient analysis, and reliability studies.
Develop and maintain electrical system models using PSCAD, ETAP, SKM PowerTools, EasyPower, or similar platforms.
Conduct electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies to assess system behavior during switching events, faults, utility disturbances, and large load changes.
Analyze how high-density AI loads and other mission-critical loads affect utility systems, emergency generation, UPS systems, and facility electrical infrastructure.
Support utility interconnection studies and coordinate service requirements and system performance with utility providers.
Evaluate system reliability, redundancy strategies, contingency scenarios, and overall power system resiliency.
Prepare technical reports, engineering calculations, study documentation, and engineering recommendations.
Collaborate with electrical design teams on medium-voltage systems, substations, standby generation, UPS systems, mechanical system electrical load characteristics, and utility service infrastructure.
Participate in design coordination meetings with clients, consultants, utility providers, and project stakeholders.
Support commissioning activities and provide technical expertise during project execution.
Review engineering deliverables for technical accuracy, quality, and compliance with applicable industry standards.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
8–15 years of experience in power systems engineering, utility engineering, substations, transmission and distribution, industrial facilities, renewable energy, mining, or mission-critical infrastructure.
Demonstrated experience performing power system studies, including transient, harmonic, grounding, load flow, short circuit, protective device coordination, and arc flash analysis.
PSCAD proficiency is required.
Experience with ETAP, SKM PowerTools, EasyPower, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, CYME, or similar software.
Strong understanding of electrical power systems, utility infrastructure, substations, protective relaying, and system reliability.
Experience with utility interconnections and medium-voltage power systems.
Experience performing underground duct bank ampacity and heat studies (Neher-McGrath methodology) is considered an asset.
P.Eng. registration in Canada, or eligibility to obtain registration, is considered an asset.
Strong knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CSA standards, IEEE standards, utility requirements, and applicable provincial electrical regulations.
Familiarity with U.S. codes and standards (NEC, NFPA, IEEE) is considered an asset.
Excellent technical writing, analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, including the ability to present findings and recommendations to clients.
Experience supporting data center, utility, industrial, or other large-scale infrastructure projects is highly desirable.
Must be legally authorized to work in Canada.
