Description

Power-Link Technologies Ltd. (PLT) is an Alberta-based electrical engineering and field services company. We commission utility substations, power generation facilities — natural gas, diesel, solar, wind and battery energy storage — and industrial plants across Western and Northern Canada. We're a team of roughly 30 engineers and field professionals, which means the person we hire will own real scope on day one instead of waiting three years for a turn.

We're looking for an Intermediate Commissioning Technologist to join our field services group and take a lead role on active projects.

What you'll actually be doing

- Executing pre-commissioning and commissioning on substation and generation projects — protection and control checks, functional testing, and energization support
- Protective relay testing and settings verification (SEL, GE, ABB, Schneider) using secondary injection test sets
- Primary and secondary equipment testing: CT/PT ratio and polarity, insulation resistance, contact resistance, breaker timing, transformer testing
- Point-to-point wiring verification, loop checks, and SCADA/RTU point verification with the client's control centre
- Writing and red-lining commissioning procedures, test forms and turnover packages — and producing reports a client can actually rely on
- Working directly with client representatives, construction crews and OEM vendors on site
- Mentoring junior technologists and apprentices in the field

What you bring

- 3–8 years of hands-on electrical testing or commissioning experience
- A diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology, an EIT registration with APEGA,



or a journeyman electrician ticket with substantial testing experience — we care more about what you can do at site than which door you came through
- Comfort reading AC/DC schematics, three-line drawings, logic diagrams and single-line diagrams, and working from them independently
- Practical experience with test equipment such as Omicron, Doble, or Megger
- A genuine safety mindset and working knowledge of utility lockout and switching procedures
- Valid Class 5 driver's licence and a clean driver's abstract
- Willingness to travel to remote and fly-in sites, including Northern Alberta and the Territories

Assets, not requirements

- C.E.T. designation with ASET
- NETA Level II or III certification
- BESS, solar or generation commissioning experience
- CSTS/CSO, H2S Alive, Standard First Aid, Fall Protection, or utility-specific safety tickets
- Experience with ATCO, EPCOR, Fortis or AltaLink standards and processes

The honest version of the travel This is a field role. Expect 75% travel, typically in rotations of 8/6, 7/7, 14,7 depending on project. Some sites are fly-in only. Travel, accommodation and meals are covered, and we schedule with your life in mind wherever the project lets us.

What we offer

- $35-65 per hour, depending on experience
- Overtime and field premiums / LOA as applicable
- Health spending account
- RRSP matching
- Referral program for clients and employees
- Paid training, test equipment you won't fight with, and support toward NETA or ASET certification
- A short chain of command — you'll talk to the owner, not a layer of managers
