We are seeking an energetic and curious analyst to join our Tariff team. Our team is responsible for the ISO tariff, which recovers the cost of the transmission system and sets out the requirements for connecting to it. You will support the operation of the ISO tariff to ensure that it’s applied consistently to all transmission system users and to those requesting to connect. This role will focus on supporting the project-side of the ISO tariff, which can be variable-paced and case-by-case in nature. To balance that, you will also gain experience with more routine and administrative tasks. This role offers opportunities for career growth and eventually, the ability to shape the work that interests you and the value that you provide.
This full-time opportunity offers a competitive salary, and a variable pay program. We also have paid vacation and flex time, health and dental benefits, mental health support, a defined contribution pension plan, and learning and development opportunities as part of your overall compensation package. We support a hybrid work environment, where the team is in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays are flexible for where you work best.
Accountabilities Include:
-
Provide support to internal AESO teams that advance connection projects. This includes ensuring that the ISO tariff is being followed and applied properly, and reviewing how project costs are allocated for accuracy.
-
Update and improve tariff related information documents.
-
Review and process customer requests for waivers.
-
Monitor and analyze customer data for reporting and reassessment.
-
Administrative support including website maintenance and content updates.
-
Support other deliverables, as required.
Signs you’ll enjoy working with this team:
- You are curious and enjoy learning about complex concepts.
- You are adaptable and can thrive in a dynamic environment.
- You revel in working and learning in a diverse atmosphere - our team and colleagues have varied backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
- You enjoy building effective relationships and working with different people.
- You are willing to listen and understand differing and challenging perspectives.
- You value flexibility to support life and personal needs. We offer a flexible work practice; however, some weeks may require more onsite presence during key business or operations events.
You have:
- An undergraduate degree in engineering, business, economics, mathematics or equivalent, or experience equivalent to a degree or designation.
- Minimum of 1-2 years of professional working experience.
- Understanding of the electric framework in Alberta would be an asset.
- Experience working in the electric utility industry would be an asset.
Application deadline: June 26, 2025
