At NB Power we are a team, committed to offering the best customer experience, ensuring energy security, and accelerating a sustainable clean energy transition. The Mactaquac Generating Station began generating electricity in 1968. Since the 1980s, concrete portions of the hydro station have been affected by a chemical reaction called alkali-aggregate reaction. The reaction causes the concrete to swell and crack and has required substantial annual maintenance and repairs. NB Power is proposing a project to ensure the station can operate to its intended 100-year lifespan with a modified approach to maintenance and adjusting and replacing equipment and concrete over time.
As a part of the Mactaquac Life Achievement Project (MLAP) team, the Coordinator Operations coordinates construction, commissioning, and operational activities at a hydroelectric generating facility to support safe, efficient work. The Coordinator, Operations manages operational interfaces and permit-to-work coordination, communicates with project teams and contractors, and helps resolve work conflicts while ensuring compliance with NB Power’s work practices, operational standards, and safety requirements.
Key functions include:
- Operational Interface Management: Coordinate daily work and communication among Operations, Construction, Commissioning, contractors, and project teams. Plan work, resolve conflicts between operational and project activities, and align operational priorities with project schedules.
- Permit-to-Work Coordination: Manage permits according to station procedures and safety requirements. Ensure work groups understand hazards and controls, verify isolations and safe conditions, and monitor compliance.
- Construction and Commissioning Support: Coordinate and oversee operational activities during construction and commissioning. Review schedules, support safe turnovers, energization, and operational readiness, guide personnel, and review or help develop relevant operating, maintenance, commissioning, and start-up procedures.
- Technical Review and Risk Assessment: Review electrical and mechanical drawings and related technical documents. Assess system impacts, identify operational, safety, and reliability risks, recommend ways to address them, and contribute to planning, hazard assessments, readiness reviews, and improvements.
- Health, Safety, and Environmental Compliance: Promote NB Power’s Zero Harm commitment and ensure compliance with safety and environmental requirements. Work with Health Safety Environment to address hazards, participate in inspections and audits, report concerns and incidents, and support ongoing safety improvements.
