System Controllers provide the real-time dispatch and direction of energy, ancillary services markets, and transmission system operations, all while ensuring the bulk electric system is operated safely, reliably, economically and in compliance to operating standards and market rules. It is an exclusive and unique career in the heart of action that impacts all Albertans. Responsibilities include:

This is a developmental position. Our System Controller in Training (SCIT) program includes formal and on-the job training. Our team of qualified System Controllers and Real Time Managers provide guidance and support to ensure our SCITs achieve the technical competencies required to operate the grid. It is typical to spend 2-3 years in the SCIT program to get the exposure and experience to progress to a System Controller. System Controllers are required to achieve and maintain System Operator Certification with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC); AESO will support your attainment and maintenance of this certification. This certification prepares operators to handle the bulk power system during normal and emergency operations and requires ongoing professional development to maintain this certification.

We are open to introducing new and different experiences and perspectives as we see strength in different ways of thinking.

Alberta needs electricity 24 hours a day. This position involves 24/7 shift work and requires reliable transportation to a remote location not accessible by Calgary Public Transit. When our System Controllers are on shift, they are in the heart of the action and when they are off, they are fully enjoying personal pursuits.
