  • Demonstrated ability to analyze complex technical and business issues, evaluate alternatives, and develop defensible recommendations, plans, budgets, and business cases.
  • Proven project management skills, including experience developing scopes, cost estimates, schedules, capital plans, and coordinating multiple priorities to achieve business objectives.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams, influence stakeholders, and support decision-making in a complex operating environment.

Our engaging workplace offers a wide range of challenging opportunities, while being safe, inclusive, and diverse. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, while supporting life-long career development. We also encourage volunteerism and nourish the need to give back to your community.
