Summary
AltaLink - Growing with Alberta
When your job is keeping the lights on, you look at things differently. Everyone expects the lights to come on when we flick the switch. But how do we do it? Through technology and innovation; creativity and collaboration. Those are the qualities we embody at AltaLink, and we're looking for people who share these qualities.
AltaLink is Alberta's electric transmission leader, providing 85 per cent of the Province's population with the electricity they need. In Alberta, transmission infrastructure will need to grow to keep pace with the demand for electricity which has increased to meet the needs of the economy.
Join the company named “Best Place to Work” in the Energy/Oil and Gas division for 2008 by Calgary Inc Magazine and that encourages 'the power to grow, create, play and choose'. Ongoing training and development, competitive compensation and benefits, a flexible work environment, and a culture that supports work/life balance, are some of the features of working at AltaLink.

Discussing test exceptions with operational employees and mid-management.
Utilizing new and existing reporting tools to make data available for review and control.
Participating in special projects as required.
