The Site

This is a new-build power block: three gas turbine generators, heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and a steam turbine generator with its condenser and cooling water systems. The job is to get all of it safely energized, tested and brought to full production capacity. Expect significant hands-on field work alongside vendors, subcontractors and the project engineering team: walkdowns, isolations, troubleshooting, and verifying system performance against design specifications.

Your First 3 Months

Get up to speed on the power block commissioning and startup plans with your Commissioning Coordinator, including the System Commissioning Packages and procedures
Complete the CSU Operator Training Material and Competency Validation for the power block
Complete the site Safety Work Permit (SWP) training. It is extensive, but the principles line up with other Alberta industrial sites

What You'll Do

Support Construction Complete (CC) and Mechanically Complete (MC) walkdowns
Install energy isolations and issue Safety Work Permits (SWPs) as required
Oversee chemical cleaning and flushing of the HRSGs and lube oil systems
Perform cold and hot commissioning, functional testing and trial runs of the GTGs
Commission the STG condenser and cooling water systems, and support STG steam line blowing, initial roll and heat up, overspeed testing, synchronization and load progression
Support GTG and STG reliability testing, plus electrical testing of the excitation systems, static frequency converters and generators
Work with vendors, subcontractors and project engineering under your CSU Coordinator's direction to execute commissioning and startup procedures, and provide daily progress reports
Redline site operating procedures, mentor less experienced team members, and help train Operations personnel

What You Bring

Power Engineer certificate, 4th Class or higher
Strong understanding of GTG and/or STG operation
Ready for significant hands-on field work: troubleshooting equipment and verifying system performance against design specifications

Nice to Have

3 to 5 years of hands-on operator experience with gas turbine generators and/or steam turbine generators
Commissioning and startup experience on GTGs or STGs (highly preferred)

Why Power Engineers Take This Job

Few operators get to take a power block from walkdown to full load. This seat puts you on three gas turbine generators and a steam turbine generator through cleaning and flushing, first roll, overspeed testing, synchronization and reliability testing: the commissioning line that sets a resume apart. It pays $65.00 to $72.00 per hour for a full 12 month contract, and it is local work in Sherwood Park.

Benefits

A full 12 month contract at 40 hours per week
Life insurance plus AD&D with critical illness and cancer coverage
Extended health: drugs, hospital, hearing, orthotics, vision, and paramedical including mental health
Dental coverage, including orthodontic coverage for children
Travel insurance up to $5,000,000 per incident
Ongoing training and career development support
