Why join us?

You've got great skills. And you want to use them in an organization where you know what you do every day matters. We get that.
We also know that ensuring Ontarians have access to affordable and reliable power doesn't happen by accident. So we give you the tools, flexibility and support you need to achieve your goals, and development opportunities to help you grow. You'll thrive in a collaborative, team-based environment that values your unique skills and experiences - and recognizes that when you do better, we become even better too.

Who we are

This role requires regular interfacing with stakeholders, established resource developers, external consultants (legal, technical, financial and/or audit) and other government agencies. The Senior Advisor will perform a lead role by planning and coordinating resources to ensure all contractual obligations are met, and will require a portion of time at the Bruce Power Nuclear Generating Site near Kincardine, Ontario for oversight of Bruce Power's technical, commercial and financial obligations.

  • Raise concerns identified through due diligence activities, including relevance of business rationale and supporting documentation provided by the contract counterparty
  • Attend and participate in oversight meetings with counterparties, and/or with external vendors (engineering, procurement and construction)
  1. Relationship Management:
  • Ensure a high level of supplier/customer focus by developing and maintaining an excellent working relationship through day-to-day contact with the IESO's contract counterparties, including representing the IESO at the Bruce Power site
