Toronto, Canada The MEARIE Group Full time

**Commissioner (full
- and part-time)**

**THE** **OPPORTUNITY**

The OEB is the independent regulator of Ontario’s electricity and natural gas sectors, protecting consumers and making decisions that serve the public interest to promote a sustainable and efficient energy sector, for today and tomorrow. The OEB performs its mandate through effective, fair and transparent regulation, including adjudicative proceedings.

**COMMISSIONER (FULL-TIME and PART-TIME, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2026)**

The OEB is committed to ensuring the independence, transparency and effectiveness of the adjudication process that arises from its quasi-judicial role as the regulator of the energy sector in Ontario.

**KEY RESPONSIBILITIES**
- Hear and decide substantive and procedural matters in both written and oral proceedings in an independent, impartial and transparent manner.
- Perform in accordance with the principles of regulatory excellence, including independence, accountability, certainty, effectiveness and efficiency. Work collaboratively with other panel members to define and develop the analytical framework for individual cases.
- Function as the presiding member and lead panel processes, as required. Support the introduction of efficiencies and innovation in the adjudicative process.
- Comply with all legal, regulatory and governmental requirements and the OEB’s corporate policies.
- Provide advice to OEB staff on the development of regulatory policy and other matters on which the OEB is consulting the sector.

**QUALIFICATIONS**

**Education, Knowledge & Experience**
- Academic qualifications and experience ideally in natural gas or power operations/engineering, energy system planning, or law/administrative law. Additional relevant experience in one or more of the following would be an asset: economics, finance/business management, consumer/public interest, Indigenous consultation, environmental/energy efficiency, and the Four D’s (Decarbonization, Deregulation, Digitalization, Decentralization).
- Experience in the Ontario electricity and/or natural gas industries, with an appreciation of the complexities of an evolving market, energy transition and innovation.
- Knowledge of the OEB, its mandate and the regulatory and business environment in which it operates. Knowledge of the principles of economic regulation, administrative law and the principles of natural justice, and of the roles, responsibilities and powers of an adjudicative body.
- Experience in making and effectively communicating complex decisions, often involving large amounts of technical evidence, and balancing the interests and rights of a diverse range of stakeholders, ideally in a regulatory agency or quasi-judicial administrative tribunal setting.

**Core Competencies**
- **Industry Knowledge**: an understanding of all sectors of the electricity industry and natural gas distribution and transportation in Ontario.
- **Integrity/Ethics**: act in accordance with OEB’s Ethics Framework, other OEB corporate policies, professional standards, legislation, and government directives; hold oneself to account for principled behaviour, being honest and transparent, civil and respectful, and operating in the public interest.
- **Teamwork/Collaboration**:as panel membership is a fundamental aspect of the Commissioner’s role, effectiveness of the OEB is directly proportional to the degree of preparedness and professionalism of panel members, how collaboratively and respectfully they work together, and the quality of their interface with staff and external stakeholders.
- **Leadership**: as Commissioners may be assigned the role of presiding Commissioner on a panel, the presiding member sets the tone by virtue of their interpersonal demeanor, understanding of protocols, administrative skills for optimum efficiency and effectiveness, and fairly addressing contentious matters. Commissioners also provide leadership in support of innovation in the work of the OEB, and in how the OEB facilitates innovation within the energy sector.

Appointments will be made by the Board of Directors for a term of no longer than two years.
