- Comply with applicable Market Rules, transmitter requirements, and reliability standards.
- Utilize situational awareness to capture revenue opportunities where possible.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives with respect to the processes, procedures, and tools at the Renewable Energy Center.
- Advise management of significant events while complying with polices, practices, and procedures.
- Other duties as necessary.

Who You Are:

- Collaborative: You are committed to our shared success above any individual achievements. You welcome the opportunity to work with and learn from other teams.
- A proactive problem-solver: You have the ability to anticipate and prevent problems before they occur while effectively working with team members and management to resolve complex issues.
- Diligent: Your solid attention to detail will ensure that documented information is accurate.
- A strong communicator: You have exceptional oral and written communication skills and are able to convey your message in a clear and concise manner.

- Adaptable: You are comfortable adapting to changing priorities and work volume in an exacting environment.

Qualifications and Experience

- Post-secondary education in one of the following disciplines is considered an asset: Electrical Engineering Technologist diploma; or Instrumentation and Control Technician diploma.
