Drives the adoption of advanced grid control, operational technology and analytics capabilities, partnering with technology and cybersecurity teams to strengthen the security and resilience of operational systems.
Advances a human and organizational performance (HOP) approach to safety by designing work and controls that anticipate human error, learning from events and everyday work, and equipping leaders to own safety outcomes across planned and emergency work.
Builds and develops a strong leadership, technical and field talent pipeline through coaching, performance management, succession and development, while engaging employees in achieving corporate and departmental goals.
Fosters a high-performance culture rooted in respect, curiosity, learning and accountability.
Owns operating and capital budgets and departmental performance, driving improvement across people, financial, operational and customer measures and overseeing outsourced service agreements to achieve established performance expectations.
Ensures compliance with regulatory, quality and operating standards through effective governance, policies, procedures and operational controls.
Represents Toronto Hydro with industry partners and associations, building relationships and influencing practices that support effective distribution operations.

Demonstrated knowledge of applicable safe work practices, procedures and requirements, including the Utility Work Protection Code and risk management principles.

Strong financial and business acumen, with demonstrated project management capability.
Strategic thinking and strong written and verbal communication, stakeholder engagement and change management skills.
