and stakeholders.
 Meet performance metrics and report program delivery, budget allocation, and
other elements appropriately.
 Collaborate with departmental partners to curate effective strategies and
solutions for individual Indigenous communities.
 Engage with our Indigenous customers’ housing and infrastructure teams and
Indigenous stakeholder organizations to further develop trusted relationships.
What it takes:
 A bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering or related discipline from a
recognized program, plus a minimum of five (5) years of recent, related
experience with demonstrated success. Demonstrated leadership in the field of
Indigenous/community/public relations, business development, or project
management. A combination of education and experience may be considered.
 Previous experience with delivering and communicating DSM programs, and
experience working in a regulated utility would be an asset.
 Exceptional leadership experience with demonstrated experience in developing
high performance teams.  Supervisory experience in a unionized environment is
considered an asset.
 Excellent project planning, development, and management skills to lead
initiatives from start to finish.
 Outstanding communication and professional relationship-building skills to foster
strong connections with corporate departments, community organizations, and
leaders.
 Demonstrated Indigenous relations experience with communities in British

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.
