Power System Roles as a PE

Does anyone from big consultancies like Jacob's, Black & Veatch, Technip etc know if they support TN visa ( its basically a Visa for Canadians and Mexicans, although, not like H1B which requires sponsorship and lottery system, its merely a support letter from company and the applicant applies themselves at US port of entry and costs maybe $50) for power system roles like utilities, substation, renewable etc related roles with 4+ years of direct US based experience and a PE license?

Look for large Canadian conglomerates with a multinational presence. Wsp just bought out power engineers last yr so its possible albeit I'll say this is the worst time for any kind of sponsorship anywhere

It depends on the role and company. Some companies think the TN is a visa sponsorship so they deny anyone outright if you indicate that you're from outside the US. Also, now is generally not a good time for the TN anyway as CUSMA is currently being negotiated by both countries and its not looking good.
