How to Get Hired at BC Hydro

  • BC Hydro is a Crown corporation, not a private company — pay is banded and civil-service-comparable, but the PSPP defined-benefit pension is a major lifetime compensation component that private utilities and tech employers in BC rarely match.
  • Most operations, trades, and engineering roles are unionized under MoveUP (technical and professional) or IBEW Local 258 (power line technicians, operators, dispatchers, plant operators). Read the applicable collective agreement before accepting an offer.
