Job description

Corix operates the City Centre District Energy Utility in Richmond, BC – a growing low-carbon system that will recover heat from wastewater to provide low-carbon heating and cooling across Richmond's City Centre neighbourhoods. It’s hands-on infrastructure work with a real environmental payoff, and part of a growing portfolio of district energy systems Corix operates across North America. 

As a District Energy Utility Operator, you'll help keep energy centres and energy transfer stations across multiple sites in the City Centre network running safely and reliably, working closely with the Area Supervisor and Area Manager. This is a field-based role where you'll often travel between sites day to day. No two days will look quite the same: one shift might be routine monitoring and preventative maintenance, the next could be troubleshooting a mechanical issue or responding to an emergency call-out. 

New to district energy? That's okay. If you have 4th class Power Engineering credentials and hands-on experience with equipment like boilers, pumps, or chillers, we'll help you build the rest.

  • Monitor, adjust, and control plant systems (on-site and via SCADA/HMI) to keep operations safe, efficient, and compliant with internal standards and external regulations 
  • Operate, inspect, and maintain equipment across district energy facilities, underground distribution piping, and energy transfer stations, performing preventative, predictive, and corrective maintenance and repairs 
  • Troubleshoot performance issues, take corrective action, and recommend improvements to optimize system reliability and availability 
  • Lead on-site health & safety: hazard assessments, site inspections, and safety documentation (JHAs, FLHAs, SOPs, ERPs), for employees, contractors, and visitors alike 
  • Keep detailed, accurate maintenance records in the CMMS 
  • Respond to after-hours emergencies as part of the on-call rotation, acting as first responder when needed 

Working Conditions 

  • Regular work schedule is Monday to Friday (8-hour shifts)
  • On-call and scheduled overtime participation 
  • Company vehicle provided
  • Regular travel between sites within the City Centre network  
  • Plant and field environments, including exposure to water, chemicals, hazardous materials, and noise 
  • Heavy lifting/moving up to 50 lbs.
  • Extended standing and climbing 
  • Occasional work at heights, in confined spaces, or in inclement weather 
  • 4th Class Power Engineer certification 
  • Minimum 2 years' experience maintaining and troubleshooting mechanical equipment (boilers, air source heat pumps, cooling towers, chillers, pumps, valves, piping, and fittings) 
  • Valid driver's license, with ability to provide a driver's abstract 
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office 
  • Strong communicator, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently, with good critical thinking and problem-solving instincts 
  • Someone who takes pride in a clean, well-organized workspace and holds equipment and facilities to a high standard 

Assets (not required, but a bonus): 

  • HVAC system experience 
  • SCADA/HMI, controls, or instrumentation experience 
  • First Aid Level I 

The anticipated pay range for this position is $38–40 per hour, based on relevant experience and qualifications. This position is eligible for overtime.
