Telecom Engineers – Multiple Levels

Number of positions: 7 Job Location:

Employment type: Permanent Region: Lower Mainland

Hours of work: Full-time (37.5 hrs/wk) Flexible Work Role: Hybrid

Position Highlights
BC Hydro is expanding and modernizing our power system to support B.C.’s growing demand for clean energy. As part of
this transformation, our telecommunications network is evolving to deliver faster, more resilient, and more secure
connectivity across the province.

We are hiring across all of our Telecom Engineering design teams, with multiple positions available in different technical
specializations. Our engineers help design and upgrade the essential telecom infrastructure that supports system growth,
new industrial development, grid reliability, and the replacement of aging equipment across the province.

In these roles, you will work in a dynamic and demanding environment and contribute to engineering studies, design
solutions, standards, construction support, commissioning, and lifecycle asset management for one of the largest and most
complex private networks in British Columbia.

You’ll also have access to hands on training and a dedicated telecom technology lab, where we test and validate next
generation systems before deployment.

If you’re a motivated telecom professional looking to work on innovative, meaningful, high impact projects that support B.
C.’s clean energy future, join our collaborative team and help shape the next generation of BC Hydro’s Telecommunication
network.

What you'll do

As an Intermediate/senior member of our Telecom Engineering team, you will play a key role in shaping the next generation
of BC Hydro’s telecommunications network. You will design high-performance transport systems and critical connectivity
solutions that support utility operations, SCADA, grid protection, and cybersecurity across the province.

In this role, you will:

Lead the design of telecom networks and circuits, ensuring the reliability, performance, and security needed to support

real-time grid operations and future utility technologies.

Act as the Professional of Record (PoR) for internal designs and act as Owner’s Engineer for external engineering service

provider submissions. You will ensure that every design meets stringent safety, technical, and regulatory requirements
while maintaining BC Hydro’s engineering excellence.

Provide design calculations, drawings and other installation and circuit implementation documentation for the construction

of telecom infrastructure including microwave radio links, fiber optic networks, WiMAX radio network, Satellite
communications, Power Line Carrier links, LTE, leased facilities, IP/MPLS networks, Digital cross-connect switches,
SONET multiplexer, Tetra/VHF/UHF mobile radio, teleprotection, and -48 VDC power systems.

Design and implement IP and MPLS network architectures for utility telecommunications systems, including network

planning, configuration, lab validation, interoperability testing, and migration execution. This also includes developing

advanced QoS and traffic-engineering solutions to ensure deterministic performance for mission-critical services such as
SCADA and protection systems, supported by detailed engineering documentation, field validation, and technical
assistance during cutovers.

Partner closely with Project Managers and construction teams to meet safety, cost, and milestones. You will resolve

complex field issues, guide construction teams, and provide essential technical leadership during installation, testing, and
commissioning.

Conduct specialized engineering studies and deep technical investigations to solve challenging problems in transport

networks, SCADA communications, protection circuits, and cybersecurity related telecom infrastructure.

Ensure all engineering work complies with EGBC requirements, BC Hydro standards, and industry best practices,

reinforcing a culture of technical integrity and professional accountability.

Participate in site visits and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to confirm design intent, support field implementation,

and contribute to maintenance and emergency restoration activities when critical telecom systems are impacted.

What you bring

Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering (or a closely related discipline) from a recognized post-secondary

institution.

Registered as a P.Eng. or EIT with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC); or currently registered as a P.Eng. or EIT in

another Canadian province or internationally; or able to demonstrate active pursuit of registration with EGBC.

Design experience with at least one of the following telecom technologies:

o Microwave radio links, fiber optic networks (DWDM/OTN), WiMAX radio network, satellite communications, Power Line
Carrier links, LTE, leased facilities, Digital cross-connect switches, SONET multiplexer, Tetra/VHF/UHF mobile radio,
teleprotection, -48V DC power systems and grounding; and TDM (SONET/PDH) and IP/MPLS circuits, including circuits
carrying teleprotection and RAS.
o Experience in IP/MPLS architecture and design—covering IPv4/IPv6, OSPF, IS IS, BGP, MPLS/VPN, EVPN, Segment
Routing, QoS, Traffic Engineering, and security across large scale LAN/WAN environments.
o Experience configuring and deploying Nokia IP/MPLS platforms including L2/L3VPN, and QoS technologies.

Cisco Certified Internet Expert (CCIE) is considered an asset.

Nokia NRS II (Nokia Network Routing Specialist) Certification or Nokia Certified Service Routing Architect (SRA)

certification are considered assets.

We are seeking candidates at multiple career levels. Requirements include:

o Senior Engineer: 8+ years of relevant experience.
o Engineer 2: 4+ years of relevant experience.

Candidates with less experience may be considered for an Engineer 1 position (must be or eligible to be registered as an

EIT with EGBC).

Demonstrated excellence in technical writing and verbal communication.

Ability to work independently, take initiative on complex problems, and seek guidance when necessary.

A solid understanding of project management processes, contract management, and construction oversight.

A valid Class 5 Driver’s License in good standing is required for site visits and field support.

What we offer

We provide a work environment that values your contribution and supports your long-term growth:

A comprehensive benefit package.
A minimum of 15 paid vacation days to start.
A lifetime pension plan.
A flexible work model tailored to your role.
Access to a wide array of training and professional development courses.
