The company operates a round-the-clock control function that sits between its own generation assets, the on-site operators who run them, and the Independent System Operator that governs the market. It is building out a remote dispatch crew to cover the overnight Alberta window, with company-provided equipment and secure VPN access to all operating systems. About the Role Mornings run on a hard deadline: between 6:30 AM and 10:00 AM Alberta time you build and submit the daily operational plan, determine what each asset will do today and tomorrow, and get that plan accepted by the system operator before the market window closes. After 10:00 AM the work shifts to monitoring web-based portals, holding compliance against the accepted plan, and responding to system operator notifications within a two-minute window while coordinating on-site operators and internal teams. Success is zero missed market deadlines, zero missed response windows, and every communication loop closed and confirmed before the handover. Core Responsibilities Morning Operations Planning (40%) Build and submit the daily operational plan between 6:30 AM and 10:00 AM Alberta time for current and next-day asset activity. Submit asset offers to the Independent System Operator ahead of market deadlines. Confirm plan acceptance by the system operator before moving into monitoring mode. Coordinate across internal teams and on-site operators to close out plans inside the morning window. Real-Time Monitoring and Compliance (35%) Monitor operations against the accepted plan for the remainder of the shift. Track web-based portals and communication systems for alerts, notifications, and system operator messages. Respond to system operator notifications within two minutes, coordinating all affected stakeholders. Verify that instructed actions are executed and confirmations are received, with no open loops left running. Stakeholder Communication and Coordination (25%) Act as the communication hub between on-site generation asset operators, system operators, and internal teams. Apply documented operating procedures when alerts trigger: categorize the issue, contact the right parties, gather information, and relay updates. Run direct operational communication with external operators by internet-routed phone and digital channels. Complete a 15-minute handover at both ends of each shift and join quarterly cross-team sessions with the Alberta-based crew.
