HOW WE HIRE: MAKING IT EQUITABLE FOR EVERYONE

We build and grow our teams based on ensuring fair, inclusive, and equitable process for every candidate. These are some things we'd like you to know.

Here at Emera, we are proud to offer careers with purpose through creating a more sustainable future. We encourage you to check out our values—and if they align with yours, we want to hear from you!

Once we receive your application, our dedicated Talent Acquisition (TA) team will review your skillset, compare it to the criteria listed in our job postings, and then discuss this with our hiring managers. Throughout the process, we strive to provide the best possible recruitment experience for everyone involved.

When you meet the criteria and are shortlisted for one of our positions, you’ll be contacted by our TA team for an initial phone screen or be sent an e-mail with additional questions. This is your time to learn more about the role and ensure it aligns with what you are looking for in your next career opportunity. If you aren’t selected, you’ll hear from the team as well.

If expectations on both sides align, an interview will follow which could be in-person, virtual or comprise of a test or assessment. Our team will always be transparent about what steps your recruitment process include and advise you on logistics like dress code, location, and what to expect. If any accommodations are required, we encourage you to share this. We want you to be able to show up as your best self!

During the interview process, our team will keep you informed of your progress. The process of assessing each candidate’s ability to succeed in the job may take several weeks, but when a decision is made, all candidates will hear from us. We do appreciate your patience during this stage—we can understand that it isn’t easy to wait. If you aren’t successful, we hope you don’t get discouraged and will try again. Another opportunity might be just around the corner.

When you are made an offer, we’re just as excited as you to start your journey with us. So, get ready for a rewarding career, a comprehensive benefits package, great to have perks, the occasional energy pun, making new friends, and having a positive impact on your community.
