We want our workplace to be safe, welcoming and a place where people can flourish. When we support our employees and listen to different perspectives, our whole company benefits as we foster our culture of belonging. By doing so, we can continue to meet the energy needs of the customers and communities we serve and support provincial climate action goals.

Recognition as a top employer

We’re proud to share that we’ve been named one of BC’s Top Employers for the third year in a row. Our most recent application earned us a spot in this year’s Mediacorp Canada Inc. rankings.

This award recognizes companies that create great places to work. It looks at things like:

• workplace culture
• benefits and wellness programs
• communication with employees
• community involvement

Being named one of BC’s Top Employers shows our ongoing commitment to supporting our employees’ well‑being and development. When we build a culture of belonging and bring together people with different backgrounds and experiences, we strengthen our workplace and spark new ideas.

Our workforce is our greatest strength

The energy industry is changing fast, and our team’s ability to adapt helps us succeed. We’ve built a workplace where teamwork, new ideas and supporting each other are part of everyday life.

“I enjoy being part of a team that really pushes for your growth and wants you to succeed,” said Samantha Syrenne, fleet services coordinator. “That’s one of the best things about working at FortisBC.”

We also offer programs that help employees stay healthy and supported. Last year, we launched a new Employee and Family Assistance Program that includes:

• financial planning support
• health coaching
• counselling services

These tools help employees feel supported both at work and at home.

FortisBC employees are supported through professional development and training opportunities year round.

Empowering our people and communities

When our employees develop, our company develops too. We offer many ways for people to develop their skills and explore new career paths, such as:

• leadership programs
• professional development opportunities
• scholarships and skills training

“There are opportunities in all areas of the industry,” said Tony Zhao, project engineer. “You can shape your career in the direction you want.”

Employees also care deeply about the communities we serve. Through volunteering, charitable giving and partnerships with local groups, we work together to make a positive impact.

FortisBC volunteers lent a hand at the Goldstream Food Bank as part of the company's community giving efforts.

“I love the work we get to do, and I love that we get to make a difference in the province. I wouldn’t trade this for anything,” said Ray Urner, QA/QC technician.

“The culture and diversity at FortisBC have grown over the last 20 years since I’ve been here,” said Kirk Pranjivan, manager, IS applications. “It’s the culture that brings people together.”

FortisBC street team members participated in CKNW Kids’ Fund Pink Shirt Day.

Continuing our journey

A strong workplace culture takes time and ongoing effort. As our workforce and communities change, we will continue to support employee development and strengthen our culture.

If you're passionate and innovative and you like working with a lot of smart people, this is a great place for you.

Jim Kobialko, manager, technology and market development

We’re grateful for this recognition—and even more grateful for the people who make FortisBC such a great place to work.
