A career at BC Hydro is meaningful and provides you the opportunity to be part of a talented, inclusive, and diverse team. We offer a healthy work-life balance, competitive wages, a comprehensive benefits package, and training opportunities to support you in your career growth. We're proud to be ranked as one of B.C.'s Top Employers and one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers.\n\nWhat you'll do\nBC Hydro operates a 13,200 MW system of hydroelectric, thermal, and market resources. Within Generation System Operations (GSO), energy, capacity, and water planning are managed by teams organized by planning time horizons from real time to five years.\n\nIn GSO, the System Optimization (SO) group of ten engineers plans the optimal use of energy and capacity for our major reservoirs and generation assets to meet domestic load and inform Powerex trade flexibility. The SO team holds a unique role, liaising with and informing decisions across multiple BC Hydro business lines: Operations Stations and Transmission, Energy Planning, Project Delivery, Regulatory, Finance, Customer and Corporate Affairs, and our trade subsidiary, Powerex. The SO team reports out, monthly, to VP of Operations and our CFO.\n\nThe opportunity provided here, within the SO team, is for one of three Generation Resource Coordinators (GRC). The GRC team manages a portfolio of work that includes our daily load resource balance estimates and is the Operational Planning Engineer for thermal assets and major contract resources (Independent Power Producers). The GRCs are the touchpoint between departments for BC Hydro's Annual Outage Plan for generation and water conveyance assets, ensuring sufficient system flexibility to meet reliability requirements. The GRC team is also responsible for supporting and developing new planning tools for near and mid term scheduling for water conveyance, capacity and energy outage planning.\n\nGeneration Resource Coordinator Specialist Engineer Duties:\n\nWorks closely with our BC Hydro partners and Powerex to continuously develop, iterate, and evaluate outage planning to optimize dispatch flexibility, manage reliability risk and maximize benefits for our ratepayers. The GRC is GSO's primary contact for outage planning at our major generating facilities and for major planned transmission outages.\n\nThe GRC team annually coordinates a 5-year integrated outage plan for capacity, energy, and major water conveyance with our BC Hydro partners. The GRC team manages the outage plan in between annual planning periods, providing recommendations on significant changes to outage schedules associated with changing reliability and cost risk implications.\n\nThe GRC team is responsible for estimates of surplus capacity and daily energy associated with peak loads for summer, winter, and emergency periods. They also provide a daily strategy, if required, on meeting peak loads and maximizing consolidated trade potential.\n\nThe GRCs are the lead representative for Thermal operations (Operation Planning Engineer) and as a specialist liaison for integration of large IPP outages into our planning with GSO.\n\nThe team works with the larger SO team, within GSO, to help inform price signals for project dispatch and opportunity costs for outages. They ensure that GSO Operation Planning Engineers (OPEs) and real-time dispatch group (PSOSE) are aware of trade-offs between market dispatch and outage schedule management.\n\nThe GRC team develops and maintains models used for evaluating the outages and impacts to reliability. With increasing temporal constraints on level of effort associated outage delivery and volumes, analytics, optimization, and reporting, new tool development associated with outage management is expected to grow.\n\nThe GRC prepares briefing notes, gives presentations, responds to internal and external queries, and technical responses for regulatory filings for BC Hydro generating system.\n\nThe GRC can also act as a GSO subject matter expert during system emergencies that may affect our load resource balance.\n\nWhat you bring\n\nA relevant Engineering Degree recognized by Canadian Universities. A Masters in a relevant field (e.g. economics, system optimization, etc.) is an asset, as well as applied practice in generation or transmission maintenance and outage planning, thermal, or hydroelectric plant operations.\n\nA minimum of 8+ (Senior Engineer) or 10+ (Specialist Engineer) years of experience in some of the following: Energy and capacity management in a storage based hydroelectric system, generation and transmission maintenance and capital outage planning, optimization models, integrating contract energy and capacity (IPPs) into planning, and energy and capacity valuation associated with generation dispatch and outages.\n\nRegistered, or eligible for immediate registration, as a Professional Engineer with Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia.\n\nGiven ongoing model development, application experience in an object-oriented programming language (e.g. Java, C#) is requested. Experience with data management and reporting systems like Power BI and Fabric is a strong asset. Familiarity with existing BC Hydro outage management systems (e.g. CROW) is also recommended.\n\nProven record of making decisions in uncertain, dynamic, and emergency environments.\n\nDemonstrated ability to lead, work within a tight team, and communicate effectively with engineers (generation, transmission, and planners), market traders, accountants, software consultants, and project managers, both within BC Hydro and externally.\n\nWhat we offer\n\nA comprehensive benefits package\n\nA minimum of 15 paid vacation days\n\nA lifetime pension\n\nFlexible work model, depending on your role type\n\nTraining and development courses\n\nFor more information on the benefits we offer, visit bchydro.com/benefits.\n\nWhat else you should know\n\nThe role is a hybrid work model: working from home is permitted, however, a minimum of 3 days per week is expected in the office on joint team days in addition to attendance, as required, for special events and/or designated meetings.\n\nApplicants who do not meet full qualifications or those with lesser work experience may be considered for a lower level position.\n\nPlease be advised that this role has been assessed as safety sensitive and pre-qualification alcohol and drug testing will be required as a pre-condition to employment.\n\nHow to apply\nApply online by October 12, 2026: view and apply for this job on the BC Hydro Careers site.\n\nBC Hydro is an equal opportunity employer.
