WHY CALGARY AIRPORTS Powered by heart and dedicated to excellence, we’re the team that keeps Calgary connected – and you could be our newest member.

We’re in the business of uplifting people, and every day, we create runways to new places and possibilities, building a better airport experience for everyone.

What’s The Team Like The facility maintenance team ensures the smooth operation of all spaces at a busy 24/7 airport, keeping terminals, offices, and other buildings safe, functional, and well-maintained. They handle repairs, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems to support airport operations and passenger comfort. This team ensures secure, efficient, and reliable operations, supporting 24/7 airport activities and driving smart building initiatives.

What Are Some Of The Responsibilities

Lead the design, review, and optimization of medium- and low-voltage distribution systems, substations, transformers, switchgear, motor control centres, grounding systems, and backup power systems.

Lead and validate power system studies, including load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, harmonics, grounding, voltage-drop, and contingency analysis, and translate findings into corrective actions.

Approve complex engineering designs, calculations, specifications, single-line diagrams, protection philosophies, relay settings, control logic, and SCADA integration criteria.





Investigate major power system failures and recurring electrical issues, determine root causes, and define repair, replacement, operating, and reliability improvements.

Act as the electrical engineering subject matter expert for capital and infrastructure projects by defining technical requirements, reviewing consultant and contractor deliverables, witnessing testing, and authorizing technical acceptance.

Interpret and apply electrical codes, engineering standards, utility requirements, and safety regulations, and lead hazard, switching, isolation, and energized-work reviews.

Advise leaders on capacity, reliability, outage exposure, infrastructure constraints, lifecycle priorities, and capital investment options using clear, risk-based recommendations.

Develop engineering standards and evaluate technologies that improve redundancy, fault isolation, automation, power quality, system visibility, and long-term resiliency.
