Full job description

*** All applicants MUST be a current resident of Canada ***

As a member of the Madsen Group, Madsen Controls & Engineering represents Woodward, Testo, and other top-tier brands for Western Canada. We provide sales and service of electronic and hydraulic governors and control systems for engines and turbines in a variety of applications and provide custom power management solutions to end-users. Madsen also provides in-house engineering and design for the advanced power systems we commission and support, allowing for tight integration between controls design, protection schemes, and field execution.

Position Summary

We are seeking a senior, field-proven Electrical Engineer or Power Systems Specialist with deep expertise in generator controls and power management systems, specifically Woodward and Basler platforms (or equivalent).

This role is focused on real-world execution—commissioning, troubleshooting, and optimizing systems across the full spectrum of complexity:

Standalone isochronous generator control systems
Multi-generator load sharing and load shedding plants
Utility synchronization and grid intertie systems
Closed/open transition transfer schemes
Advanced power management and microgrid controls

This is not a narrow or design-only role. You will be expected to confidently execute across simple to highly complex systems and understand how they behave under real operating conditions.

You will take ownership from late-stage project involvement through commissioning, optimization, and client handover, working directly on live, mission-critical systems across multiple industries. A portion of this role includes in-house hands-on controls programming, system integration, internal quality control and testing, and customer-witnessed factory acceptance testing (FAT) of completed systems. This work provides significant involvement across the entire project lifecycle.

What Sets You Apart

You have commissioned systems ranging from single-unit controls to complex multi-generator plants
You have hands-on experience with generator controls, excitation systems, and protection schemes
You are comfortable working on live systems in high-pressure environments
You understand not just system design, but real-world system behaviour and failure modes
You have a proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues in the field
You are a self-directed technical expert who also collaborates effectively with a team
You apply practical, experience-driven solutions to complex problems

Why This Role

Work on mission-critical power infrastructure
High level of technical autonomy and ownership
Balanced field and office responsibilities
Minimal bureaucracy—focus on execution and problem-solving
Opportunity to operate as a senior specialist and trusted expert
Collaborative environment with experienced technical peers

Primary Responsibilities

Plan and execute commissioning activities in coordination with project teams
Program, commission, and troubleshoot generator, excitation, and protection control systems (Woodward, Basler, or equivalent)
Execute complex system startups, including:
Generator paralleling and synchronization
Load sharing and load shedding schemes
Utility intertie and grid synchronization
Islanded and microgrid operations
Diagnose and resolve issues on live operating systems
Perform system tuning, optimization, and fault analysis
Support retrofits, upgrades, and system integrations
Contribute to system assessments, upgrade scoping, and design support
Develop and review test procedures, commissioning reports, and control narratives
Act as a senior technical interface with clients, operators, and internal teams

QualificationsRequired

Legally authorized to work in Canada (no sponsorship available)
Electrical Engineering degree, diploma, or equivalent experience
5+ years of hands-on field commissioning experience with generator control and power management systems
Proven ability to independently program, commission, troubleshoot, and optimize systems
Strong understanding of:
Power system behavior
Synchronization and load sharing
Protection schemes and real-world system response
Experience with Woodward, Basler, or comparable control platforms
Strong communication skills in field and client-facing environments
Willingness and ability to travel within Western Canada

Preferred

Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in good standing with a Canadian regulatory body
8–12+ years of relevant field experience
Experience with protection relays and coordination schemes
Background working with industrial or utility clients
Experience with generator, engine, or industrial control systems

Work Environment & Travel

Combination of field and office-based work
Estimated travel: 30–50%, primarily within Western Canada
Typical schedule when not in the field: Monday–Friday, 8-hour days
Overtime as required during commissioning and field activities
Work involves active industrial sites and live electrical systems

Compensation

Competitive salary: $55 - $65/ hr base, based on experience
Overtime and premium compensation as applicable
Comprehensive benefits package
Travel costs covered by employer

About the Role

This position is suited to someone who prefers hands-on technical work over purely design or management roles, and who takes pride in seeing complex systems operate successfully in the field.

If your experience is primarily design, studies, or project management without deep commissioning exposure, this role will not be a fit.

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: $55.00-$65.00 per hour

Benefits:

Casual dress
Company events
