Our approach is rooted in the belief that EQ is as important as IQ. We take the time to understand how people, systems, and outcomes fit together — drawing on deep experience in stakeholder engagement, systems integration, and portfolio delivery. We see complexity as an opportunity to connect insights, align priorities, and guide meaningful transformation.

Whether supporting transit modernization or operational improvement, we act as local expert guides who deliver the right outcomes through patience, flexibility, and technical insight.
Position Overview
We’re seeking a Project Manager to lead electrical power system integration efforts across a regional transit network, with a focus on upgrading and standardizing uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and SkyTrain power systems. This position supports foundational infrastructure, ensuring safe, reliable, and resilient electrical systems that support ongoing transit operations.
You’ll coordinate planning and implementation across multiple sites and project phases, from early design through to overnight commissioning. The ideal candidate brings practical experience in electrical engineering, system integration, and construction coordination, paired with strong people skills and stakeholder fluency. This is an opportunity to shape long-term asset strategies while supporting hands-on delivery across transit facilities.
At SysEne, we bring structure to complexity through systems thinking and disciplined delivery — but never with a one-size-fits-all approach. Success in this role requires adaptability, empathy, and sound judgment. Ideal candidates have 5 to 10 years of experience, thrive in dynamic environments, and are motivated by improving public systems through thoughtful, people-centred change.

- Understand site-specific electrical configurations, sequencing, and switchover strategies
- Coordinate and document interdependencies between mechanical, electrical, and software elements of the system
- Ensure that designs are constructible, maintainable, and consistent with long-term power system standards
Commissioning and Field Work
- Support field work, site visits, and commissioning activities, including during night shifts or off-peak windows
- Ensure safety, redundancy, and quality assurance protocols are built into the implementation plan
- Support troubleshooting issues during installation or testing, escalating where necessary and coordinating with field technicians and engineers
- Maintain strong situational awareness and backup plans for critical path activities
Stakeholder and Client Engagement
- Facilitate coordination across engineering, facilities, operations, and senior leadership
- Prepare briefings, updates, and presentations for management-level stakeholders
- Build consensus and shared understanding between diverse technical and non-technical groups
- Support leadership in making informed decisions on scope, vendors, and technical solutions
Risk, Quality, and Safety Assurance
- Contribute to the early identification of delivery risks and support the development of mitigation strategies
- Support hazard identification, mitigation planning, and alignment with safety and systems assurance frameworks
- Support compliance with organizational, safety, and regulatory requirements throughout delivery
Competencies You Bring
- Comfortable working with incomplete information and evolving requirements
- Brings a balance of structure, systems thinking, and people-centred collaboration
- Able to navigate ambiguity and prioritize effectively in a changing environment
- Empathetic communicator who builds trust, empowers team members, and “leads from behind”
- Translates effectively between technical experts and broader stakeholders to ensure shared understanding
- Brings people along (internal staff, contractors, management) to cross the finish line together
- Balances real user needs with operational realities to deliver high-value, feasible improvements
- Motivated by delivering functional, equitable public systems that improve daily life
Qualifications
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field
- 5–15 years of experience in electrical infrastructure projects, ideally within complex or regulated environments
- Experience managing construction, installation, or integration of power systems (e.g., UPS, distribution, smart grid)
- Understanding of commissioning, safety protocols, and construction phasing in live environments
- Ability to coordinate between consultants, vendors, internal teams, and field staff
- Excellent communication, facilitation, and organizational skills
