• Manage budgets, timelines, risk, and stakeholder expectations to deliver profitable and scalable projects.
• Help define the technological roadmap for supporting AI, EV, and other emerging energy-intensive infrastructure.
• Position ROHL as a leader in Western Canada’s evolving power landscape.

• 8–12+ years’ experience in energy infrastructure, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership or project delivery role.

• Strong knowledge of power systems, interconnection processes, and evolving technologies (DER, microgrids, BESS).
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and leadership skills to inspire teams and influence stakeholders.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

What We Offer

• Base Salary: $130,000 – $175,000 (Commensurate with experience)
