Engineer I-IV
Current and Future Regular positions  
Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada  
Competition # E22278-2026

At NB Power we are a team, committed to offering the best customer experience, ensuring energy security, and accelerating a sustainable clean energy transition. Why? Because we’re New Brunswickers too, we care about our customers and future generations, and today we are actively looking for new members to join us. 

The Mactaquac Generating Station began generating electricity in 1968. Since the 1980s, concrete portions of the hydro station have been affected by a chemical reaction called alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR). The reaction causes the concrete to swell and crack and has required substantial annual maintenance and repairs. NB Power is proposing a project to ensure the station can operate to its intended 100-year lifespan with a modified approach to maintenance and adjusting and replacing equipment and concrete overtime.

 

As part of the Mactaquac Life Achievement Project, the Engineer I-IV will be responsible for supporting all aspects of design and construction of project work. This includes ensuring NB Power is prepared to complete the preliminary designs required and overseeing and coordinating all design and construction work performed by external consultants to ensure safety, environment, quality, efficiency, and compliance with organizational standards.

 

Mechanical Engineering key functions include:

• Review design and oversee installation and commissioning of turbines, hydraulic gates, large cranes, and mechanical systems such as HVAC, fire protection, and drainage.

• Provide field support during construction, managing Request for Information (RFIs), contractor quality, and adapting to changed conditions.

• Collaborate across project phases with all stakeholders (internal and external), contributing technical expertise from planning through close-out.

 

Our ideal teammate will have:

• Participation in design teams during planning, detailed design, execution, and close-out phases of mega-projects

• Providing technical guidance during construction, including responding to RFIs, coordinating contractor quality programs, handling changed conditions and knowledge of relevant regulations, standards, and industry best practices

 

Civil Engineering key functions include:

• Review design and oversee construction of reinforced concrete and structural steel components, ensuring integrity and compliance.

• Review design and oversee construction of earthworks and dam-related activities, applying geotechnical insights and mitigation strategies for AAR concrete effects.

• Support construction execution, resolving RFIs and maintaining quality standards throughout the project lifecycle.

• Collaborate across project phases with all stakeholders (internal and external), contributing technical expertise from planning through close-out.

 

The following are considered assets:
