Description

The Telecommunications Design unit requires the services of an engineer or technician for the specialty of External Networks - CFO. Any skills in industrial cabling (posts and substations) and industrial sound systems will be considered an asset. A large part of the tasks performed by designers is done within the framework of projects.

The main tasks of the designer are:

• Conduct site surveys and inspections (notes, photos, details) and write or validate the associated reports;

• Write the technical section of the mandates for the professional services required for the project and validate the engineering deliverables produced by the firms;

• Perform technical calculations, diagrams, and details;

• Create complete and detailed engineering plans and specifications;

• Define the components and record the list of materials and the purchase order forms for the required materials;

• Provide technical support during the execution of the work and commissioning and participate in the development of deployment plans;

• Ensure the updating of inventory systems as well as the overall diagrams of the telecommunications network;

• Assist, if needed, the project manager in establishing the project schedule by identifying issues and technical dependencies affecting the project.

Outside the scope of projects, designers may also be called upon to work on the following tasks:

• Participate in the drafting of standards and technical guidelines with a view to implementing best practices within the company;

• Participate in the technical aspect of the approval and acquisition process for new equipment;

• Provide technical support and assistance to operations in case of network failures;

• Guide operational practices to ensure service continuity;

• Provide technical support for network planning and architecture activities;

• Develop the parameterization of telecommunications equipment, ensure compliance of configurations, and oversee network configuration changes as well as production deployment strategies.

In order to comply with the laws and regulations surrounding the practice of engineering in Quebec, if the resource is an engineer, they will also have the responsibility when involved to:

• Verify design activities;

• Sign and seal plans, specifications, technical reports, technical calculations, or any other supporting technical documents (such as guides, specifications, notices, or standards) that they produce or write, alone or in collaboration, as part of projects.

Profile

• Have a minimum of 6 years of experience as an engineer or technician in outdoor network cabling;

• If the resource is an engineer, be a member in good standing of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec;

• If the resource is a technician, possess a DEC in technology or equivalent (10 years of experience in telecommunications without a diploma will be considered or a bachelor's degree in a relevant field);

• Hold a valid driver's license in Quebec;

• Be able to travel throughout the province of Quebec by various means of transportation (air and land) when required (e.g., site visits, meetings, training);

• Have knowledge of the technical, economic, environmental, and socio-political issues of client projects;

• Have demonstrated the ability to write structured reports and recommendations;

• Have knowledge of the French language appropriate to the position;

• Have good experience in telecommunications networks;

• Hold the card of the Joint Association for Health and Safety in the Construction Sector (ASP construction card);

• The telecommunications network of the client is deployed in a standardized industrial environment of high voltage and power electronics. Knowledge of cutting-edge commercial telecommunications equipment designed for the high voltage industrial environment is an asset.

Expertises

(Required) Outdoor network cabling

This specialty involves planning and designing the deployment of fiber optic and copper pair cable networks primarily outside buildings and occasionally inside buildings.

The following expertise is required:

• Knowledge of installation and connection standards for aerial, underground, conduit, and duct fiber optic and copper pair cables;

• Knowledge of support structures for cables (DUSS, conduits, and poles);

• Associated equipment (rack, optical splitter, etc.).

(Asset) Cabling for substations and power plants or industrial environments

This specialty involves planning and designing the deployment of cabling within client’s substations and power plants, as well as in industrial environments. This includes inter-building cables (fiber optic cables and copper pair cables) and structured cabling for information technology networks (telephony, sound and visual alerts, and networking).

The following expertise is required:

• Installation of fiber optic and copper pair cables outdoors for inter-building needs as well as in the post yard (installation in conduit, buried or in trench);

• Installation of fiber optic and copper pair cables inside buildings necessary for various distributions (telephony, warning, networking);

• Protection of copper pairs and grounding (MALT) of metal shields for different types of cables (lightning protection, etc.);

• Associated equipment (power supply, warning device, telephone device, relay, beacon, etc.);

• Management of connectivity (rack, cable manager, distribution boxes, cabinets, cable ladder, optical splitter and others).

(Asset) Sound system for posts and centers or industrial environment.

This specialty involves planning and designing the deployment of industrial sound equipment in station and plant facilities. This equipment is used to distribute sound warnings to notify employees during certain situations. Different types of warnings may be necessary in the facilities, such as: general evacuation, dam emergency, maneuver, code call, etc.

The following expertise is required:

• Knowledge of warning systems in substations, power plants, or industrial environments;

• Knowledge of the "zoning" principle for different categories of warnings;

• Installation of copper pair cables inside and outside buildings necessary for the distribution of warnings;

• Protection of copper pairs and the MALT of metal shields for sound system cables;

• Associated equipment (power supply, alarms, amplifier, etc.);

• Management of connectivity (rack, distribution boxes, cable ladder, etc.).

Availability and contract conditions:

• Be available as soon as possible;

• In-person availability required 1 day a week at this workplace: downtown Montreal and when required for design surveys at various locations, remote work. (Subject to change)
