Aslan Renewables is seeking a talented and motivated Mechanical Engineer to join our Toronto team in the launch of Aslan’s new micro hydro product. This role offers a fantastic opportunity to join our team as we bring this new product to market, with the goal of electrifying communities and increasing global supply of clean base-load power.

About Aslan Renewables:

Since being founded in 2020, Aslan has been developing solutions to activate mid-range hydroelectric sites across Canada. Beginning with the introduction of modern technology to decommissioned dam sites in Atlantic Canada in 2022, Aslan has been lowering the barrier of entry for hydro generation to the benefit of rural communities, First Nations partners, and Canada’s national supply of base-load clean energy.

An electrified North America needs stable, clean baseload power. Canada’s rivers and estuaries can play a key role. With First Nations, watershed groups, and wildlife advocates—and backing from King Charles III—we’re reviving small hydro to power communities as it did a century ago

Today the team is ready to scale production to activate over a 1000 mid-range capacity hydro sites and begin scalable production of its hydro station model for export.

By joining our team, you'll be at the forefront of the renewable energy expansion and the adoption of a new renewables category – small hydro. Together, we can make clean energy accessible, affordable, and abundant for generations to come.

Join us in our mission to unlock the full potential of hydroelectric power and help write the next chapter in sustainable energy history.
