System Control Operator

(Preference for a Journeyperson)

 

Since 1906, Energy+ Inc., a leading electricity distribution company, has been providing safe, reliable, quality electricity and customer service to its communities. Setting a standard of excellence as our benchmark, we exceed customer expectations. In other words, we deliver! 

This union position will appeal to a safety-conscious electrical technician able to work steadily and effectively in dynamic situations, including outages. The successful candidate must enroll in and work towards the completion of the MEARIE System Control Operator certification program. As your skill level improves, you will be expected to fulfill all requirements of the position. As a certified System Control Operator, you will monitor, control and direct the operation of the Energy+ power distribution system. With safety as a top priority, you will work in both normal and emergency conditions on 2.4 kV – 27.6 kV overhead and underground systems and multiple 230 kV – 27.6 kV transformer stations. Additionally, you will prepare and check switching instructions for crews and issue work permits and other isolations to administer the Utility Work Protection Code; maintain and update key control room systems; and participate in power system planning. Providing effective and courteous assistance to customers and coworkers at all times, you will also liaise with other operating authorities (including Hydro One and the IESO) to ensure procedural compliance. 

Ideally, you’ve completed your Electrical Technician diploma, including courses in power system theory and electrical awareness. Alternatively, you have Grade 12 combined with equivalent experience. Proficiency with MS Office (Word, Excel), AutoCAD, GIS, CIS, OMS and databases is a must, as are strong communication skills, a valid Class G driver’s licence. This position will require the flexibility of working rotating shifts and overtime during emergencies or staffing limitations. Preference will be given to candidates who are near completion, or who have completed the MEARIE Operator Training. Once qualified, you will join the rotating evening shift on an on-call basis; however, this position may transition to 24/7, requiring availability to work all shifts. 

We offer an excellent working environment, competitive compensation and benefits packages, a pension plan and opportunities for professional development and to make a difference in our community. To become a valued member of our team, please forward your resume, by
