Working closely with internal business units, external partners, Hydro One and the IESO, this is a senior leadership role where day-to-day reliability meets long-term grid modernization.

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.

REQUIREMENTS:

Undergraduate degree in Engineering, Business, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
Seven (7) or more years of progressive leadership experience, including experience leading leaders and managing operating and capital budgets.
Ten (10) or more years of experience in utility operations, including areas such as control centre operations, trouble dispatch/response, and distribution construction and maintenance.
Strong knowledge of electrical distribution operations, control room operations, emergency management, work execution practices, and 24/7 work management for both response and planned work.
Demonstrated knowledge of applicable safe work practices, procedures and requirements, including the Utility Work Protection Code and risk management principles.
Knowledge of distribution operations systems and platforms and how electrical distribution systems are configured and operated, including radial, loop and secondary mesh networks.
Strong financial and business acumen, with demonstrated project management capability.
Strategic thinking and strong written and verbal communication, stakeholder engagement and change management skills.
Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, including the ability to exercise sound judgment and maintain composure under pressure.
Strong people leadership capability, including performance management and labour relations.
Experience leading in a unionized environment and building constructive relationships with union leadership is preferred.
Experience leading in a 24/7/365 operational environment is preferred.
