2023 was the hottest year in recorded human history. Human caused climate change is having a profound effect on all life on our planet.

In 2019, New Westminster's City Council declared a climate emergency, the second municipality in our region to formally acknowledge this call for action.

Since that time, the City has taken bold steps to mitigate corporate and community climate impacts however there is much more work that needs to be done.


The City is seeking a dedicated and passionate climate advocate to join our newly created Energy and Climate Action Department as a Planner - Utility Program Coordinator.

In this role, you will champion the promotion and development of "Energy Save New West", a community focused program designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in homes and businesses in New Westminster, through technical support, guidance on accessing provincial and utility incentive programs, and delivering innovative programs and incentives directly to the community the City serves.

To be successful in this community facing role, you will need to have strong communication, marketing and promotion skills and be equally adept at research, analysis, and planning.

As the City's Community Utility Program Coordinator, you will:

  • Review and implement a marketing strategy to promote and increase adoption of the City's Energy Save New West program.

  • Support the development and implementation of an overall plan, policies and bylaws written to address energy usage and emissions priorities.
  • Prepare progress reports on energy saving and emissions reduction strategies and plans.
  • Present energy saving and emissions reduction recommendations to Council, Committees of Council, Boards, departments, and community groups and agencies.
  • Organize, participate in, report on, and support consultation with internal and community partners.
  • Participate in local, provincial, national, and international climate and sustainability initiatives.
  • Work on other initiatives and responsibilities as assigned.
If you have many of these key competencies, we would like to hear from you:

  • University degree in the field of climate change and sustainability such as planning, architecture, environmental science, engineering, clean energy, or related discipline; plus post-graduate degree in a related field. Sound experience related to the work or an equivalent combination of training and experience.
  • Three or more years of related experience or an equivalent education and experience.
  • Considerable knowledge related to marketing, customer service, planning, research, and policy development.
  • Proven ability to market and promote community facing initiatives related to climate action.
  • Ability to conduct research and analysis, and to synthesize solutions from diverse information using critical thinking and logic.
  • Strong data analytics, and interpretation skills.
  • Strong technical report writing skills.
  • Demonstrated skill in public engagement and facilitation.
  • Ability to manage multiple competing priorities and deadlines.
  • Ability to juggle multiple objectives to develop integrated solutions.
  • Excellent problem solving and decision making within a teamoriented culture.
  • Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with a variety of people.
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, facilitation, collaboration, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Innovative and creative problem solver.
