BC Hydro Smart Metering Installation Project

Starting in summer 2011 Corix Utilities will begin installing 1.8 million smart meters for BC Hydro's Smart Metering Project in several communities throughout BC, with completion targeted for December 2012. In preparation for this program, over 350 positions will need to be filled. We are currently accepting resumes for a variety of job opportunities. Please note that active recruitment will commence in March 2011 for most positions and will continue throughout the year in a phased approach. Due to the overwhelming response to this highly anticipated project, applications will only be accepted online.

BC Hydro's Smart Metering Project is part of a multi-year plan for improving safety, reliability and modernizing the province's electricity grid. The initiative will see the replacement of 1.8 million electromechanical meters, now becoming obsolete, with new digital smart meters. Smart meters enable two-way communication between the customer and the utility, giving customers more information about their consumption than ever before. In addition, the new metering system will reduce operating costs and help to keep BC Hydro's rates lower than they would have otherwise been without the Smart Metering Program.
