The ability to provide technical direction to crews, engineers, and other technical support staff.

The ability to analyze complex technical issues, interpret inspection and test data, and develop practical recommendations.

Well-developed analytical, communication, and collaboration skills.

The ability to communicate effectively with internal and external groups to gather information, resolve issues, and support sound technical decisions.

*Understanding of Pressure piping and vessel design, maintenance and compliance to codes and standards and/or Rotating equipment and related engineering/technical knowledge (vibration, lube, thermography).

Proven ability to work well with crews, peers, and cross-functional teams.

Experience with both thermal and hydro-electric generation would be an asset.

What we offer

We're always looking for exceptional people to bring new ideas, fresh thinking and the motivation to help shape the electricity system in B.C. It's an exciting time to be a part of our team as we invest in our system and prepare to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
