At BC Hydro, we are committed to providing reliable power, at low cost for generations. We are equally committed to helping exceptional people realize their potential as we reward them with opportunity and challenge. In addition to ensuring that safety is paramount, we value teamwork, accountability, integrity and service.

Step 1: Your application

Submit your application.

Step 2: Assessment

BC Hydro has a team of human resources professionals who will review your application and assess your skills and experience for the position to which you applied and other opportunities as they become available.

Step 3: Short-listing

Applicants who qualify may be short-listed for a telephone interview.

Step 4: In-person interview

Successful telephone interview candidates may be invited to attend one or more in-person interviews. An in-person interview is our opportunity to learn more about you and your qualifications. It is your opportunity to learn more about BC Hydro and the position you are being interviewed for.

Step 5: Reference check

After we have had a chance to meet you and learn more about you, we will contact you to discuss next steps in the process. Successful candidates will be asked to provide professional references and will undergo identity, education (including technical and professional qualifications) and criminal checks.

Step 6: Decisions

After moving through the entire recruitment process, we will determine if you fit our organizational goals, corporate culture and share our values: teamwork, accountability, integrity and service. We also hope that you have had an opportunity to assess if BC Hydro can provide you with the opportunities, challenges and environment you are seeking.

As a successful candidate you will have an employment offer extended in a written offer letter. You will also receive a welcome package including a comprehensive overview of our benefits.

We hope you become part of our team!
