We’re looking for new talent to join us as we reinvent the future of energy. Across BC, we have a diverse team of more than 2,400 employees we can’t do without, yet we’re growing as fast as ever.

You may think we’re your standard utility that delivers natural gas and electricity, but we’re also into cool, innovative energy solutions. Think carbon capture, renewable energies and lower-carbon transportation for a start. We believe in creating a cleaner, healthier tomorrow.

If you like meaningful work, a dynamic environment and forward-thinking colleagues, build your career with us. You’ll get opportunities to grow, lead, solve, and create. So what are you waiting for? Let’s rethink energy together.

Position Overview

Do your organization and management skills resemble a conductor orchestrating a symphony?

In year 2, you will:

• Work with LNG operations to develop systems in the plant.
• Build on your knowledge gained during a project cycle.
• Identify and champion continuous improvements in how the PMO does business.
• Build highly effective teams.

What it takes:

• An engineering degree and P.Eng. or a diploma of technology and ASTTBC, or equivalent education and work experience.
• Field construction experience.
• Plant operations experience.
• Demonstrated understanding of project management processes and permitting.
