Senior Manager, Engineering and Maintenance in Vancouver

BC Place is getting ready for its busiest year yet in 2026. We are hiring a Senior Manager, Engineering and Maintenance who is both results- and relationship-oriented. The role requires a leader who prioritizes efficiency while ensuring their team feels fulfilled and motivated. Experience in electrical engineering or as a Journeyman Electrician is highly valuable, as the Senior Manager will oversee the stadium’s complex power systems and ensure all technical operations run safely and reliably.

In the fast-paced environment of a stadium, even minor oversights can lead to significant consequences. Attention to detail is crucial for identifying potential issues before they escalate. Whether monitoring facility maintenance, reviewing event setups, or managing electrical and mechanical systems, a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of facility management are essential for ensuring a flawless experience for spectators and staff alike.

Reporting to the Director, Facility Operations, the Senior Manager typically works Monday through Friday, from 7 am to 3:30 pm.

What you will bring:

• An electrical engineering degree or relevant trade experience, preferably in the electrical field.
