Competition # E22480-2026

At NB Power we are a team committed to offering the best customer experience, ensuring energy security, and accelerating a sustainable clean energy transition. Why? Because we’re New Brunswickers too, we care about our customers and future generations, and today we are actively looking for a new member to join us.

The Mactaquac Generating Station began generating electricity in 1968. Since the 1980s, concrete portions of the hydro station have been affected by a chemical reaction called alkali-aggregate reaction. The reaction causes the concrete to swell and crack and has required substantial annual maintenance and repairs. NB Power is proposing a project to ensure the station can operate to its intended 100-year lifespan with a modified approach to maintenance and adjusting and replacing equipment and concrete overtime.

As part of the Mactaquac Life Achievement Project, the Risk Management Specialist identifies, assesses, monitors, and mitigates risks that may impact project objectives, financial performance, compliance, and organizational reputation. Additionally, the Risk Management Specialist provides risk-based recommendations and collaborates with stakeholders to support informed decision-making and effective risk management practices.

Key functions include

• Develop, maintain, and integrate risk management processes, including risk registers, risk plans, governance frameworks, risk assessments, and mitigation activities across project, corporate, health and safety, and environment risk programs.
• Monitor and report on risks and controls through dashboards, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and risk reviews, while supporting issue escalation, audits, compliance reviews, and risk oversight activities.
• Deliver risk management training, coaching, and cross-functional workshops to enhance risk awareness and promote effective risk management practices.
