This position is in-person and located in the charming town of St. Thomas, ON.
Your Role And Key Responsibilities
We are seeking a highly skilled and proactive Specialist, BSI Design (HVAC & Process Exhaust) to join our Battery Specific Infrastructure (BSI) team. In this role, you will take a leading position in coordinating, steering, and governing all BSI-related design activities, ensuring that concepts, layouts, and technical solutions align with PowerCo’s global standards, functional requirements, and project timelines. Reporting directly to the Head of BSI.
What You Bring To The Team
Design Coordination & Stakeholder Alignment
Lead the organization of multidisciplinary design meetings with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring technical alignment, structured decision-making, and timely distribution of high-quality meeting documentation. Act as the central coordination point for all BSI-related design inputs, consolidating feedback from engineering, production, HSE, construction, and operations teams.
Tender Documentation & Technical Requirements Management
Develop and maintain comprehensive tender documentation—including TUM lists, Room Books, layouts, and user requirements—ensuring clarity, completeness, and compliance with PowerCo’s technical and functional standards. Provide expert guidance on the technical scope definition and ensure alignment between project requirements and supplier proposals.
Design Change Management & Impact Evaluation
Govern the design change process by evaluating change requests from internal departments, updating TUM, Room Books, and layouts accordingly, and coordinating the implementation of changes with suppliers. Conduct technical, schedule, and cost impact assessments for all design modifications, including claim review and negotiation support with suppliers. Maintain and publish an up-to-date weekly design change log as part of structured change governance.
Design Deliverable Tracking & Quality Assurance
Track and verify the supplier’s design deliverables against contractual obligations and project milestones, ensuring completeness, quality accuracy, and alignment with design strategy. Proactively identify design gaps, inconsistencies, and risks, driving corrective actions with suppliers and internal teams.
3D Model Management & Digital Coordination
Oversee the development, integration, and quality of the 3D model across all BSI work streams, ensuring consistency with engineering data, spatial requirements, and interface definitions. Facilitate model reviews, clash detections, and interdisciplinary coordination sessions, driving resolution of technical conflicts and optimizing constructibility.
Value Engineering, Acceleration
Lead value engineering workshops and cross-functional evaluations to bring project costs in line with approved budgets, balancing technical requirements with cost efficiency.
Design Lessons Learned & Continuous Improvement
Lead the systematic collection, analysis, and documentation of design-related lessons learned across all BSI work streams, transforming project experiences into actionable guidelines. Drive continuous improvement initiatives by integrating lessons learned into design standards, tender documents (TUM, Room Books, layouts), and supplier requirements, ensuring future projects benefit from enhanced efficiency, quality, and risk mitigation.
SME
Act as the subject matter specialist for HVAC and process exhaust systems within BSI design activities, defining and coordinating discipline-specific technical requirements, concepts, and solutions for production, utility, dry room, clean room, and ancillary areas. Ensure that HVAC and process exhaust designs meet project requirements for environmental control, pressure cascade, temperature and humidity performance, air quality, source capture, safety, operability, maintainability, and integration with process equipment and facility infrastructure. Review and steer supplier and consultant deliverables related to HVAC and process exhaust, resolve technical interfaces with other disciplines, and support compliance with PowerCo standards, project objectives, and applicable codes and regulations.
