WORK ENVIRONMENT:
The Senior Electrical Engineer spends most of their time in an office environment, but may occasionally spend time at the company’s manufacturing plant, or the project site. The office is an open and collaborative space where work is performed independently and with the team. When at the plant, the environment is that of a traditional manufacturing environment, with higher noise levels and frequent movement of people and equipment. When on-site, it’s a typical construction environment, often in high-voltage exposed areas like 12kV through 230kV substations, which may be in fairly remote rural locations, and where extreme weather conditions may be encountered.

- Regularly sit, stand, and walk for long and short distances
- Required to hear with or without correction to be able to interpret and receive information and directions
- Regularly required to communicate: verbal and written, to describe and explain detailed, important, and accurate instructions
