We're actively seeking new talent to join our mission of delivering a stronger energy future in B.C. As one of BC's Top Employers with a diverse team of over 2,800 employees, we are committed to a safe and inclusive culture where each of us can connect, belong, and grow. Join us, and together, let's shape a brighter future for B.C.

Position Overview

You’re someone who sees potential and knows how to bring the right people together. You understand the needs of the teams you support and have a knack for identifying candidates with the skills, mindset, and energy to thrive. If that sounds like you, you may be the perfect fit for our Talent Acquisition Associate role.

In this position, you’ll collaborate closely with employees and hiring managers to develop strategic recruitment plans and build strong, trust-based relationships. Your creativity and attention to detail will shine as you engage the job market with innovative sourcing methods and elevate our employer brand — grounded in values like sustainability, respect, and inclusion.

You thrive in fast-paced environments, and your time management skills ensure recruitment processes run smoothly, efficiently, and with exceptional service every step of the way.

In this role, you will:

• Build strong partnerships with designated business areas to support both unionized and exempt recruitment needs.
• Lead full-cycle recruitment for internal and external roles — from understanding hiring requirements and sourcing strategies to shortlisting candidates, conducting evaluations, negotiating offers, and supporting relocation needs.
• Identify talent needs and execute hiring practices that align with business goals and culture.
• Coordinate and advertise job postings, keeping business partners informed and engaged throughout the process.
• Attract top talent using a variety of tools and channels, including job fairs, social media, and industry events.
• Develop and manage pre-screening processes, selection criteria, testing, and assessments — all in alignment with company policies, collective agreements, and applicable legislation.
• Facilitate interviews in collaboration with hiring managers and stakeholders, ensuring a smooth and professional candidate experience.

What it takes:

• A diploma or degree in Human Resources or a related field.
• Solid understanding of employment legislation and recruitment practices within unionized environments.
• Experience interpreting and applying collective agreement provisions, especially those related to job postings.
• Hands-on experience with recruitment technology, including Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and LinkedIn. Bonus points if you're familiar with SuccessFactors Recruiting.
• Strong computer skills, especially with the Microsoft Office Suite and HRIS platforms.
• A genuine passion for talent acquisition, paired with a creative yet detail-oriented mindset, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• A collaborative team player who builds strong relationships and works effectively across departments to achieve shared goals.

Additional Information

This is a temporary opportunity created to support increased workload driven by a large-scale system upgrade across the organization. While the role does not directly support the project, it plays an important role in ensuring day-to-day recruitment activities continue to run smoothly during this time.

As a temporary position, this opportunity does not include health and medical benefits. Instead, a percentage in lieu of benefits will be provided and added to each pay cheque.

In this role, you will have the option to participate in a flexible work program, enabling you to work from an approved flex location in British Columbia up to 85 days a year (equivalent to approximately two days a week), subject to business or operational needs.

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.
