Our Power, Your Possibilities

At TransAlta, we don’t just generate electricity-we generate opportunity. As one of Canada’s largest publicly traded power generators, we’ve been powering communities for over 100 years across Canada, the U.S., and Australia. Our diverse energy portfolio and passionate team are driving the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future.

ABOUT THE ROLE

TransAlta is seeking a Hydro Technologist to join our Dam Safety team on a temporary, full-time basis. This opportunity is well suited to a current student, recent graduate, or experienced candidate looking to gain or apply hands-on experience in hydro operations, field monitoring, and dam safety.

Reporting to the Supervisor, Field Data, the successful candidate will play a key role in supporting Dam Safety, Water Management, and Hydro Operations through the collection, analysis, and management of critical monitoring data used to support safe and reliable hydroelectric operations.

Responsibilities include supporting the collection and maintenance of dam safety, hydrometric, and meteorological data, assisting with monitoring equipment and instrumentation, and contributing to operational decision-making and long-term performance monitoring. The role works closely with Hydro Operations and technical support teams and may provide support to facilities across Alberta and British Columbia.

Perform routine inspections of dams, hydraulic structures, water management facilities, and associated infrastructure.
Operate, maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot monitoring equipment and instrumentation.
Support the maintenance of remote weather stations and river gauging stations.
Perform data validation, QA/QC reviews, and maintain technical records and databases.
Assist with monitoring programs related to high water events, river ice conditions, and environmental monitoring activities.
Support survey, site investigation, contractor coordination, and field project activities as required.
Prepare reports, spreadsheets, and data summaries for operational, engineering, and regulatory purposes.

ABOUT YOU

Currently enrolled in, recently graduated from, or have completed a diploma or degree in Civil Engineering Technology, Environmental Technology, Water Resources, Hydrology, Environmental Science, Geomatics, Instrumentation Technology, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline.
Candidates with an equivalent combination of education, training, and relevant practical experience will also be considered. Exposure to or experience conducting environmental monitoring, hydrometric monitoring, surveying, instrumentation, or related field activities is considered an asset.
Relevant experience may be obtained through employment, co-op placements, internships, field schools, academic projects, or other practical experience.
Experience operating scientific instruments, electronic loggers, remote monitoring systems, or related field equipment is considered an asset.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel; experience with database software is an asset.
Strong attention to detail with the ability to accurately collect, record, and manage technical data.
Demonstrated problem-solving abilities and technical aptitude.
Valid Class 5 Driver's Licence and willingness to travel to hydro facilities across Alberta and British Columbia.
Ability to work safely outdoors in remote locations and varying weather conditions.
