CIS & Billing Systems Specialist

CIS & Billing Systems Specialist

Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. (PNG), a subsidiary of TriSummit Utilities Inc., is a natural gas transmission and distribution utility. Operating in northern British Columbia with its Corporate office in Vancouver and main operating offices in Terrace and Fort St. John, British Columbia.

This is a newly created position at the heart of PNG’s operations. We are a small, rate-regulated natural gas distribution utility and we rely on SAP CIS and our meter system. This role sits within IT and is the primary bridge between our billing and meter data systems and the business teams who depend on them every day. This is not a support desk role. It requires genuine curiosity, independent problem-solving, technical skills and collaboration. You will be PNG’s subject matter expert on our billing and meter systems.

• Investigate and resolve billing and data discrepancies across systems
• Collaborate with the Billing Manager and Customer Care team to understand, document, and improve billing workflows — both within SAP and through the manual processes that support large commercial accounts
• Develop training materials and provide user support for billing systems
• Produce operational reporting and support data-driven initiatives
• Act as PNG’s technical advocate clearly articulating PNG’s requirements, contributing to prioritizations, and ensuring PNG’s operational needs are understood and reflected in decisions.

What You Will Need to Succeed:

• Proven experience ensuring the accuracy and integrity of operational data flowing through interconnected systems, including end-to-end validation of system changes and upgrades prior to production deployment.
• Experience working with third-party vendors or system providers
• Ability to evaluate solution options — weighing trade-offs across build, configure, and tool-based approaches — and make defensible recommendations that account for time, resources, maintainability, and risk
• Demonstrated ability to orient quickly in a new technical environment, self-direct workload, and drive issues through to resolution without close supervision
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Assets:

• Experience with SAP CIS or similar customer information systems
• An independent learner who does not require hand-holding to become effective

• Exposure to SQL or database querying

Other Considerations / Additional Information:
