About the role
- The Asset Integrity Engineer owns lifecycle technical risk across project execution, commissioning, and early operations, ensuring assets are delivered with long-term reliability, maintainability, and performance embedded from day one.
- This role bridges engineering, commissioning, and operations, carrying design intent and hazard analysis forward through energization, turnover, and stabilization of performance in early operations.
- The position is electrically focused, with primary accountability for power distribution, protection systems, MCCs, VFDs, transformers, generators, and plant grounding.
- Mechanical scope includes rotating equipment, piping systems, and pressure boundaries.
- This technically demanding position requires an engineer who must be comfortable leading electrical energization readiness while also validating mechanical installation quality and performance baselines.
- During commissioning, the Asset Integrity Engineer embeds lifecycle risk into inspections, testing, and deviation management.
- As projects transition to operations, the focus shifts toward reliability engineering, condition-based maintenance strategy, and early-life performance optimization by ensuring assets achieve and sustain design intent.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in commissioning, asset operations, reliability engineering, or maintenance engineering for complex Power or critical infrastructure assets
- Demonstrated hands-on experience with three-phase power systems, including switchgear, protection schemes, transformers, generators, MCCs, and field testing per NETA/IEEE standards
- Demonstrated experience commissioning assets and living with the operational consequences during early operations
- Strong understanding of early-life failure modes, latent defects, and lifecycle risk in owner/operator environments
- Experience supporting or leading root cause failure analyses and applying findings to improve asset performance
- Proven ability to work across project execution and operations, balancing near-term delivery pressures with long-term asset performance
- Comfort working in both field and office environments, including frequent site deployments during commissioning and early operations (25-30% travel is expected)
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document technical risk, decisions, and mitigation plans clearly to stakeholders across the organization
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred; Mechanical or related disciplines will be considered with demonstrated electrical commissioning experience
Benefits
- Flexible work arrangements
