You want Purpose. Growth. Opportunity. People who get it.\nWe are the home of ambitious, passionate, and innovative world shapers.\nWith an unmatched breadth and depth of engineering, advisory and science-based expertise, our global minds unite to power local solutions.\nWe are pathfinders and impact makers.\nWe are Visioneers.\nWe are WSP.\nThe Opportunity\nBuild the future with us.\nWSP is seeking an experienced Construction Supervisor - Substation & Transmission Line to provide field-based engineering and construction support for high-voltage substation and transmission line projects for a 12 to 15month Contract position.\nThe successful candidate will serve as WSP’s primary field representative, providing experienced technical observation of construction activities and maintaining a direct interface between field conditions and WSP’s Engineer of Record (EOR) team.\nThe role will focus on civil and structural construction activities for the station and transmission line structures, while also supporting selected electrical equipment installation activities.\nThe Construction Supervisor will document construction conditions, participate in designated Hold and Witness Points, identify conditions or deviations requiring engineering review, and maintain field records supporting the EOR’s engineering assessment and preparation of Record Documentation.\nThe role does not replace the Contractor’s responsibility for construction execution, means and methods, QA/QC, inspection, testing, workmanship or compliance with the Contract Documents.\nYour Impact\nServe as WSP’s primary on-site field representative for substation and transmission line construction activities. \nPerform and document engineering field observations against applicable IFC drawings, specifications, approved technical documentation and Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), including civil/structural works, structural steel erection and major equipment installations. \nReview Contractor look-ahead schedules and ITP notifications and coordinate WSP attendance at designated engineering Hold/Witness Points. \nIdentify field conditions, deviations or non-conformances requiring engineering assessment and promptly coordinate with the appropriate WSP discipline engineer/EOR. \nReview relevant Contractor QA/QC records, test results, surveys and other construction documentation required to support the engineering field record. \nMaintain clear and traceable field records, including observation reports, photographs, Hold/Witness Point records and outstanding engineering issues. \nTrack technical issues, NCRs and engineering dispositions through closure and support preparation and verification of as-built and Record Documentation. \nParticipate in construction coordination meetings and communicate significant field issues to the WSP Project Manager and EOR team. \nComply with applicable WSP, Owner and project health and safety requirements.\nThe Skills That Set You Apart\nDiploma or degree in Structural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Engineering, or a closely related field. \nMinimum 10-15 years of relevant construction experience, with significant field experience on high-voltage substations and/or overhead transmission line projects. \nDemonstrated experience with higher-voltage substation and transmission infrastructure preferred. \n Strong field experience with: \nSubstation earthworks and grading; \nReinforced concrete foundations; \nTransmission line foundations/caissons; \nRebar and concrete construction; \nAnchor bolts and embeds; \nUnderground duct banks and trenches; \nStructural steel erection; and \nTransmission line structure construction. \nDemonstrated ability to read and interpret IFC civil, structural and electrical drawings, technical specifications, vendor drawings and construction details. \nPractical knowledge of Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), Hold Points, Witness Points, NCRs, RFIs, field change processes and Contractor QA/QC documentation. \nAbility to recognize when field conditions or construction deviations require escalation to a Professional Engineer rather than field-level resolution. \nStrong understanding of the distinction between Contractor QA/QC, Owner construction surveillance and EOR engineering field observation. \nExperience maintaining high-quality construction field records suitable for supporting as-built and Record Documentation. \nAbility to work independently in the field while maintaining close communication with a multidisciplinary engineering team.\nPreferred Experience\nPrevious experience as a Construction Supervisor, Resident Engineering Representative, Civil/Structural Inspector, Owner’s Engineer Field Representative or EOR Field Representative on utility infrastructure projects. \nCombined experience with both high-voltage substations and overhead transmission lines. \nExperience with utility/EPC substation construction involving transformers, circuit breakers, disconnect switches, bus structures, control buildings/E-Houses and associated foundations. \nExperience with drilled transmission line foundations, reinforcement cages, concrete placement and structure erection. \nFamiliarity with applicable CSA, IEEE, ACI, CISC and utility-specific construction requirements, as relevant to the assigned work. \nExperience working on multidisciplinary EPC transmission projects.\n\nWhy Choose WSP?\nWe exist to shape communities to advance humanity.
