Hydro Ottawa values the different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds of all of our employees.
It starts with our deep roots in our community, having provided an essential service to homes and businesses in the National Capital Region for over 100 years. With that heritage comes an expectation that we will be a good neighbour – engaged, responsive, willing to lend a hand, and a good steward of the environment we all share.
Whether it’s our ongoing employee-led workplace fundraising campaign for the United Way, community sponsorships like the Hydro Ottawa Special Needs Day at the Capital Fair or simply lending a hand with community improvements, we are committed to supporting the communities we serve. And in line with that belief, we encourage our employees to use one paid volunteer day per year to do the same.
Committed to a Better Tomorrow
Our country is faced with an urgent need to adapt and transition towards a sustainable energy future.
In the middle of that transition is the electricity sector, which as a result is exhibiting rapid growth in the renewable energy space as we work towards hitting federally-established goals to reverse the effects of climate change.
As a leader, we are working towards our own ambitious goal of achieving net-zero operations by 2030. Our creative, innovative and forward-thinking employees are blazing the trail to a better tomorrow.
Building a Diverse and Inclusive Workforce
We seek to develop an inclusive work environment where employees feel like they belong.
Hydro Ottawa is committed to employing a diverse workforce that better reflects the communities we serve; we want our employees to be their true selves. Employee-driven diversity committees encourage dialogue on creating and supporting an inclusive workplace that welcomes and celebrates diversity. We support organizations that work towards equity and inclusion for underrepresented groups including those that encourage girls and women to pursue careers in STEM and the skilled trades.
An Award-Winning Environment
There’s all this and so much more to working at Hydro Ottawa.
We place a high priority on protecting the environment and the health and safety of our employees and our community. We provide safe work practices training for all employees consistent with industry best practices, and our company's safety performance is solid.
In a stable yet rapidly evolving and growing industry, we offer competitive salary and benefits including medical, dental and vision care; disability and life insurance; defined benefit pension plan; holistic wellness programming that includes on-site fitness facilities and various paid leaves.
That’s why we are recognized year over year as a National Capital Region Top Employer, one of Canada’s Greenest Employers, and one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People.
Together we are shaping the future - join us!
