Engineering Assurance Analyst (Electrification & Plant Asset Management)

Metrolinx is connecting communities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Metrolinx operates GO Transit and UP Express, as well as the PRESTO fare payment system. We are also building new and improved rapid transit, including GO Expansion, Light Rail Transit routes, and major expansions to Toronto’s subway system, to get people where they need to go, better, faster and easier. Metrolinx is an agency of the Government of Ontario.

 

At Metrolinx, equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to living our values of serving with passion, thinking forward and playing as a team.

 

This role is an in-office position based at the 20 Bay Street location. Our team is highly collaborative, and much of our work benefits from in-person co-creation, relationship-building, and hands-on partnership across the organization.

The Electrification and Plant department within the Engineering and Safety Division is seeking an Engineering Assurance Analyst to provide structured technical analysis, assurance coordination, assurance evidence management, and lifecycle traceability for the expanding GO Expansion and Rapid Transit electrification portfolio.

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Electrification, you will support engineering assurance reviews from project development and design through construction, testing, commissioning, handover, and early operations.

You will work closely with Capital Project Group, Engineering, Asset Management, Risk, Operations, maintainers, project delivery partners, consultants, and contractors. The role will coordinate assurance submissions, maintain controlled registers of respective artifacts, evaluate maintainability and operational-readiness evidence, and prepare concise reporting for technical and governance forums.

Joining this team offers an opportunity to strengthen in-house engineering assurance capability for a growing and strategically important asset portfolio. Your work will help identify design, interface, maintenance, configuration, and evidence gaps early; improve project-to-operations transition; retain institutional knowledge; and support safe, reliable, maintainable, and cost-effective lifecycle management of Electrification and Plant assets.

• Maintain assurance evidence repositories, asset-information links, document controls, and data-quality checks to support auditable decision-making.
• Support design reviews, testing and commissioning activities, handover-readiness assessments, and the closure of interface and acceptance actions.
• Provide technically traceable support to Operations, Asset Management, and capital-project teams regarding defects, failures, configuration concerns, and emerging lifecycle issues.
• Develop training materials, practical guidance, and knowledge-transfer resources to strengthen consistent engineering assurance practices.
• Escalate incomplete, conflicting, or high-risk evidence to the appropriate technical authority or governance forum and support timely resolution.
• Promote an inclusive, collaborative, and accountable working environment aligned with Metrolinx values.
