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
