EMERA ENERGY CAREERS
“An EE career combines the best of both worlds—the benefits of working for a large corporation and the entrepreneurial feel of a start-up. In my 15 years here, I've worked in several roles where I discovered my strengths and what drives me. Our business is driven by competitiveness, innovation, and financial success, but not at the cost of community, support for career development, and diversity. A truly well-rounded workplace that I’m proud to be a part of. “
Natalie Director Gas Origination
“I joined EE in 2009 on the Energy Marketing Desk, then moved through Asset Management into Natural Gas Scheduling. Each role helped expand my understanding of the natural gas and power infrastructure and the factors behind pricing those commodities. I advanced into a Gas Trading role in 2015 and currently lead both the Power and Natural Gas Trading Teams. I am particularly proud of our reputation for superior customer service and dedication to success through integrity.”
Patrick VP Marketing & Trading
“In 2021, I joined the Gas Scheduling Team and quickly learned that teamwork, flexibility, and attention to detail were key success factors. The role challenges you to be quick on your feet, and it is very rewarding to work as a team of Schedulers and with Gas Traders to find new opportunities and optimize our pipeline portfolio to deliver gas to customers across Canada and the US. “
Sarah Natural Gas Scheduler
“I joined EE as an Energy Scheduler in 2017. Working on the Power Desk exposed me to power and gas markets, multiple types of electricity generation, and managing customer relationships. This set me up for success when I moved into the role of Asset Manager in 2020, where I work collaboratively with our other teams to ensure we are managing our customer’s generation assets to their fullest potential.”
Ashley Asset Manager
“I get great satisfaction navigating the fast-paced energy markets as an Energy Scheduler, optimizing hydro, wind, and gas assets. My job gives me a unique perspective on the operation of power markets in North America. It takes sharp analytical skills and strategic decision-making to do it well. It’s a fulfilling role that lets me build my expertise in the dynamic energy industry every day.”
Clayton Senior Energy Scheduler
