Position Overview

Your attention to detail and strong organizational skills are your superpowers as you bring visions to life. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working seamlessly with internal teams and external partners to create memorable and impactful events that drive our business forward.

As an events specialist you'll provide leadership as you effectively plan, coordinate, execute, and evaluate corporate events to support marketing strategy, programs, and the FortisBC brand.

So, if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and make a real impact, join us in transforming B.C.’s energy future.

In this role, you will:

  • Take the lead on planning, coordinating, and executing corporate events, including collaborating with various internal and external stakeholders, managing budgets, and aligning with our corporate branding.
