Manager, Compliance

Number of positions: 1 Job Location: Edmonds 18

Employment type: Permanent Region: Lower Mainland

Hours of work: Full-time (37.5 hrs/wk) Flexible Work Role: Hybrid

Annual salary: $ 131,100.00 - 165,800.00

Position Highlights
BC Hydro is looking for an inspiring, collaborative leader to head our Mandatory Reliability Standards (MRS) Assurance
team. The team helps the business show that its compliance processes are sound and working, from day-to-day operations
through to capital projects. If you're passionate about building accountability, making meaningful connections and leading
with empathy, this is your opportunity to make a difference.

You'll join the Compliance Department, within the General Counsel & Compliance Office Business Group, and report to the
Director, Compliance. Your work centers on BC Hydro's adherence to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation
(NERC) MRS, adopted by the BC Utilities Commission. These standards cover real-time operations, transmission planning,
protection system maintenance and critical infrastructure protection (CIP), and they are central to the reliability of the bulk
electric system.

The MRS Assurance team covers three areas:





- Operations & Planning assurance
- CIP assurance
- Project Compliance, which builds MRS requirements into engineering, construction and technology projects ranging from

under $1M to over $10B

What you'll do

- Lead & inspire: Lead and mentor a team of assurance professionals and consultants. Set clear priorities, keep work

moving and deliver risk-proportionate results.

- Partner with the business: Help Governance Delegates, Execution Delegates and Compliance Leads confirm that their

processes and controls are designed well and working. Raise areas of concern and opportunities for improvement, and
influence and support the business to resolve them.

- Integrate MRS into projects: Own the practice of building MRS into the project lifecycle. Set and deliver an annual risk-

based project engagement strategy, and ensure compliance gaps are closed before assets go into service.

- Strategize & plan: Build risk-based assurance plans across Operations & Planning, CIP and capital projects. Refine

procedures, tools (including the MRS project applicability tool) and documentation.

- Monitor & improve: Lead assessments, control testing and reviews of how well processes work. Turn findings into practical

insights and reports for managers, directors and executives.

- Support regulatory processes: Provide expert input on regulatory filings, project gates and Board briefings. Identify

potential non-compliance and refer it to Investigations. Support preparation for the 2027 WECC audit alongside MRS
Governance & Risk.

- Manage resources: Balance internal staff and external consultants, make the most of capital-funded resources, and track

progress across a broad portfolio.





- Collaborate across the industry: Build relationships with WECC, other utilities and industry groups, and bring best

practices back to BC Hydro.

***What we are looking for***

- An empathetic, inspiring leader with exceptional communication skills

- A pragmatic problem-solver who connects strategy to execution and favours momentum over perfection

- A proactive thinker committed to continuous learning and improvement

What you bring

- 10+ years in the electric utility industry or regulatory compliance. Senior-level expertise in Operations & Planning, cyber

security, capital project delivery or compliance is preferred.

- A proven record of leading teams, developing staff and delivering complex initiatives

- Skill in risk assessment, assurance, control testing and regulatory reporting

- Experience with NERC/MRS programs in Canada or the US (an asset)

- Understanding of project management principles; PMP certification is an asset

- Strong negotiation, relationship-management and presentation skills, including explaining complex technical issues to

varied audiences

What we offer

- A comprehensive perks package
- A minimum of 15 paid vacation days
- A lifetime pension
- Flexible work model, depending on your role type
- Training and development courses
