Project Manager 2 - Compliance Specialist
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
Are you ready to shape the future of operations and planning compliance at BC Hydro? We’re seeking a collaborative
professional to guide and influence our Operations and Planning (O&P) program—bringing clarity, consistency, and
confidence to how we meet North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Mandatory Reliability Standards
(MRS).
As part of the Mandatory Reliability Standards Assurance team within the General Counsel and Compliance Office, you’ll
play a central role in translating regulatory expectations into practical, organization-wide action. You’ll work across teams
to strengthen internal controls, support audits and investigations, and foster a culture of accountability and continuous
improvement.
This role blends governance, assurance, stakeholder education, and regulatory engagement. Your expertise will shape how
O&P compliance is understood, implemented, and sustained across BC Hydro—through strategic guidance rather than
hands-on system configuration or direct team management.
What you'll do
- Interpret O&P standards and advise business units on risk, controls, and compliance expectations.
- Represent BC Hydro in communications with WECC and other regulatory bodies; build strong relationships with
peer utilities to stay aligned with regulatory oversight trends.
- Monitor emerging standards for impact, lead internal reviews, and coordinate responses.
- Deliver training and coaching to enhance organizational understanding and readiness.
- Identify opportunities to strengthen governance, oversight, and assurance practices.
- Conduct assurance activities including compliance assessments, control reviews/testing, and contribute to the
strategic planning and execution of mitigation activities.
- Leverage technical knowledge and controls expertise to evaluate compliance narratives, evidence, and internal
controls; recommend enhancements to practices and tools.
- Review and endorse evidence and documentation; prepare reports and trend analyses for leadership.
- Collaborate with operations and planning teams to align technical practices with regulatory requirements.
- Participate in incident investigations, contribute compliance expertise, and make final compliance determinations.
- Prepare and help shape regulatory filings, including standards adoption assessments and incident reporting.
