Job Opportunities in Canada

The Electrification Program Management Office (E-PMO) was formed in May 2022 to help bridge the various efforts of
business units across BC Hydro that directly support electrification. The E-PMO brings together teams across BC Hydro to
better understand the internal challenges and opportunities that come with supporting our customers in making the energy
transition. Electrification is the societal shift over time towards decarbonization in response to climate change and it’s
changing our customers’ energy needs and expectations. In January 2024, BC Hydro announced our updated 10-year
capital plan of $36 billion, which contains community and regional infrastructure investments across BC and represents an
increase of about twice the investment to respond to the energy transition, and the interest and demand on our electricity
system by our customers.

Reporting to the Lead, Electrification Program Management Office, the Program Advisor (Project Manager), is responsible
for working with the business to identify opportunities to improve processes, leading cross departmental business
improvement initiatives including pilots, identifying and raising risks with implementation of initiatives, establishing reporting
on initiative progress and key metrics, and providing program administration and controls (i.e. Development of programs,
tools, templates, processes, etc.).

Examples of pilots currently underway include:

• The ‘Account Team’ pilot initiative establishes partnerships with cross-functional representatives from BC Hydro and

select local governments to identify priorities and develop solutions to overcome mutual barriers related to decarbonization
through electrification, including how we can work as partners to accelerate the infrastructure build.

• The ‘Gentle Density Working Group’, which brings together a cross functional BC Hydro team, to identify challenges and

opportunities with provincial housing legislation (Bill44) which allows an increased number of units on single family dwelling
lots across the province.

• The ‘South Vancouver Island Joint Infrastructure Project Planning’ pilot, bringing together local governments across South

Vancouver Island and BC Hydro project delivery teams, to support joint infrastructure project planning discussions to build
relationships and explore opportunities to align plans including co-tendering opportunities.

• The ‘Local Level Electrification Analytics Pilot’, which is exploring how local government planning and policy data can be

used to inform BC Hydro capital plans.

Responsibilities include:

• Identify internal barriers to supporting our customers and engage the business to resolve problems by leading discussions

with cross functional representatives across BC Hydro.

• Develop and make recommendations on solutions including scoping potential pilots. Build organizational support for

implementing solutions to overcome barriers.

• Lead cross departmental business improvement initiatives and pilots to support electrification, identifying and raising risks

with implementation of initiatives to a senior management level.

• Develop and implement regular reporting on initiatives and key metrics that supports progress on business initiatives and

pilots.

• Develop and implement regular communications with internal and external stakeholders on initiatives.

• Manage conflicting priorities and projects with tight deadlines, analyzing and communicating recommendations on

strategic and complex issues.

• Model the one-hydro approach ensuring that decisions support the broader needs of the organization.
• Keep a pulse on what’s going on in the business and use this information to proactively identify opportunities to assist the

business to create greater value.
