**Workplace Flexibility**: Yes

**Posting End Date**: Open until filled

We’re a Canadian-owned and BC-based energy company taking steps toward a lower-carbon energy future by providing renewable energy, natural gas and electricity to more than 1.2 million customers.

We’re looking for new talent to join us as we transform BC’s energy future. Our diverse team of more than 2,600 employees is committed to a safe and inclusive culture where each of us can connect, belong and grow. Join us and let’s work together for a better BC. Position Overview
Your sharp analytical eye catches every detail, and your exceptional ability to keep organized never drops no matter the demand or number of competing priorities. Your crystal-clear communication skills allow you to best serve your clients and collaborate with external partners, and you know how to manage sensitive information appropriately. With your background in human resources processes and employee benefits, you’d be the perfect fit for our Pension Specialist role.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for the efficient administration of FortisBC’s multiple retirement savings arrangements, including defined benefit, defined contribution, and group savings plans, for both union and non-union employees. In year 1, you will:
Maintain pension data in our Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) and third-party pension administrative system, ensuring the accuracy of data and manage periodic data transfers for new members, retirements, terminations, and annual data loads.
Provide information and guidance to employees, managers, retirees, and former employees on all pension matters.
Build familiarity with and begin to facilitate quarterly pension committee meetings.
Develop effective working relationships with third-party service providers, such as the external pension administrator, group savings plan provider and others, and coordinate pension calculations. In year 2, you will:
Increase your proficiency in facilitating pension committee meetings and begin acting independently as an administrator for one or two committees by end of the year.
Support the improvement of pension reporting and payroll system operation by participating in specifying requirements and testing.
Update and maintain job aids to assist with employee workflows.
Troubleshoot directly with third-party service providers as needed. What it takes:
A bachelor’s degree in business administration, mathematics, finance or similar discipline from a recognized program, and Pension Plan Administration Certificate or Certified Employee Benefits Specialist certification plus three years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
Knowledge of administration practices and procedures for various types of pension plans, including defined benefit, defined contribution, ancillary and others.
Exceptional communications and decision-making skills to be tactful and discreet in preparing, disclosing, and handling information of a confidential and/or sensitive nature.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high-level proficiency in Excel for transferring data from one system to another.
Incredible organization skills to meet priorities and work within demanding work schedules with the ability to adapt to changing environments and priorities.

Our engaging workplace offers a wide range of challenging opportunities, while being safe, inclusive and diverse. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, while supporting life-long career development. We also encourage volunteerism and nourish the need to give back to your community.
