OverviewYour future role on our teamYou’ll serve as a subject matter expert (SME) in high-pressure steam systems and steam turbines for complex industrial projects in the energy, cogeneration, thermal power plant, mining and heavy industry sectors. You’ll be involved across the full asset life cycle (design, operations, optimization, reliability and safety), while working closely with engineering, operations, maintenance, project and health and safety teams. You’ll also help develop internal capabilities and technical excellence within the thermal systems team.ResponsibilitiesDesign, analyze and optimize high-pressure steam systems, including boilers, headers, safety valves, relief systems and condensate systemsSpecify, select and validate steam turbines (HP/IP/LP), their auxiliaries (lubrication, governing, sealing, vacuum) and the associated control systemsCarry out or oversee thermodynamic studies, including mass and energy balances, efficiency calculations, performance curves, energy optimization, transient scenarios and start-ups and shutdownsDevelop, update, and validate operating, start-up and shutdown, and lockout and tagout procedures for steam and turbine systemsLead preventive, condition-based and corrective maintenance programs (inspections, NDT, major overhauls and planned shutdowns)Contribute to capital projects (refurbishments, capacity increases, new steam or turbine islands and cogeneration),
from conceptual design through to commissioningTrain and support operations and maintenance teams on best operating and safety practicesParticipate in risk analyses, including HAZOP, FMEA, rupture and overpressure scenarios, and emergency plansQualificationsBachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, energy engineering, chemical engineering or a related fieldAt least 15 years of relevant experience in engineering, operations or maintenance of high-pressure steam systems and steam turbines (blades, stages, rotors, bearings, governing systems and protections)Experience participating in major shutdowns, refurbishments or current installation projectsProficiency in steam thermodynamics and Rankine cyclesUnderstanding of mechanical and materials constraints in high-pressure, high-temperature service (creep, thermal fatigue, stress corrosion cracking)Knowledge of applicable codes and standards (ASME, API, EN, local regulations)Ability to review P&IDs;, control diagrams, isometrics and vendor documentsAdvanced English skills to facilitate collaboration with other BBA offices and/or clients in English-speaking Canadian provinces and internationally; you may need to use English occasionally or daily, depending on current projectsAdvanced French skills to facilitate collaboration with other BBA offices and/or clients in QuébecAsset: experience with calculation and simulation tools (thermal balances, pressure drop calculations, valve sizing)Asset: specialization in applied thermodynamics, rotating machinery or pressure equipmentRewards and BenefitsAnnual premium program for all regular employeesOnsite mobility premiumTime
