Toronto, Ontario, Canada Hydroone Full time

Hydro One is a leading electricity transmission and distribution provider in Ontario, serving nearly 1.5 million customers. Our company has a rich history, dating back over 110 years to 1906. We have evolved significantly since then, focusing on providing exceptional customer service and building safe communities where we live, work, and play.

We're at an exciting juncture, with major capital projects driving our growth. One such initiative involves implementing a 50/50 equity model, enabling First Nation communities to become equal owners in all transmission line projects exceeding $100 million.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Develop tailored Indigenous Relations project engagement strategies and consultation plans.
  • Determine project requirements and implementation approaches to advance engagement outcomes for each major and/or capital project.
  • Collaborate with Project Managers and teams as a trusted advisor to create customized plans that achieve targets while engaging Indigenous communities and managing risk effectively.
  • Monitor, review, and report issues/concerns to the project teams and develop recommendations to address them.
  • Contribute to the development and oversight of Indigenous Relations budgets for major capital projects.
  • Proactively address issues and concerns raised by Indigenous communities in a timely manner, supporting the advancement of Hydro One projects.
  • Provide advice on Indigenous Relations opportunities and issues to Hydro One staff and prepare recommendations in support of project execution, as required.
  • Organize and execute consultation activities, such as public information centers, community meetings, and community events that support Hydro One projects.
  • Ensure all project regulatory commitments/conditions are fulfilled and that Hydro One delivers on all other commitments made to Indigenous communities as part of project advancement.
  • Work collaboratively with other lines of business to maximize Indigenous procurement on projects.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Key Selection Criteria:

  • Knowledge and experience working in Indigenous communities across Canada and understanding community engagement strategies, approaches, and tactics.
  • Significant experience working on major and/or capital projects involving complex strategies, milestones, construction schedules, and regulatory timelines.
  • University Degree or College Diploma with 5+ years of experience and a successful record of developing and delivering major and/or capital projects.
  • Lived experiences working or living in an Indigenous community will also be considered an asset.
  • Experience managing, mentoring, and motivating a team; excellent organization skills.
  • A demonstrated history of effective time management, coordination with stakeholders, and managing expectations.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; proven track record of working cross-functionally to achieve project results and manage budgets.
  • Strong analytical, creative, and strategic skills; solid negotiating, influencing, and decision-making abilities.
  • Strong team player with exceptional interpersonal skills and a demonstrated ability to work well with others.

At Hydro One, we prioritize investing in our people's skills, recognizing that their success directly contributes to our business' prosperity. To build a diverse workforce reflecting the communities we serve, we strive to create an inclusive culture centered on safety, innovation, and collaboration.

We take pride in being recognized as one of Canada's Best Employers for 2025.

We welcome applications from qualified candidates who share our vision and values.
