We provide the tools, learning, and experiences to help you explore your career options and thrive at work while broadening your understanding of the IESO and the energy sector. Explore the possibilities made possible by leader support, teamwork, and individual growth.

Learning

The IESO is a learning-forward organization. Hone your skills through development plans that support your career goals and priorities or take advantage of webinars and programs designed to give you a better understanding of the electricity sector. We provide learning opportunities for all employees.

Rotations

Fast track your career growth with an assignment to another team where you can broaden your skills, perspectives, and experience. These one- to three-year placements can be eye-opening opportunities to work with new departments and colleagues, inspiring fresh connections and generating new ideas to drive our sector forward.

Feedback and Collaboration

Our teams are built on mutual respect and support. Giving timely feedback and holding regular coaching conversations to help you understand strengths and opportunities while looking ahead. Whether you take on a special assignment or learn on the job, you’ll collaborate with some of the brightest and most respected minds in the industry.

The Total Package

Total rewards are one piece of the total package you receive as an IESO employee. Along with competitive salaries, benefits, and pension programs, we provide a fulfilling experience with meaningful recognition, learning opportunities, and career growth. We prioritize well-being through comprehensive mental health resources and hybrid work. Our holistic approach is designed to meet the needs of our employees and help them thrive. Regular reviews of our total rewards package ensure we stay aligned with industry standards, honour commitments, and attract and retain top talent. 

Hybrid Work

At the IESO, 95% of employees participate in a hybrid work model. Many of our employees split time between the office and remote work to achieve their goals while improving their work-life balance. Remote work and flex weeks are part of a work policy that affects employees across the company, but we know it’s all about the individual.

Mental Health

Mental health is an important part of overall health and part of our extended health benefits. We offer mental health first aid sessions so you can support colleagues experiencing distress and we’re developing a mental health strategy to support sensitivity and accommodation around mental health issues.

Financial Security

The IESO can be a partner for life. Our long-term benefits contribute to the health and welfare of employees, even after retirement. Preparing to achieve your vision for the future is easier, thanks to the IESO’s defined-benefit pension plans, which provide a fixed pension based on earnings and length of service.

Best-in-class Health Coverage

We’re proud to offer robust benefits to support you, your lifestyle, and your family. Our health and wellness benefits cover wide-ranging resources and a variety of health-related expenses, including prescriptions, appointments with health-care providers, and comprehensive vision and dental care.

Peace of Mind

In a time of crisis, work doesn’t have to be a burden—it can be a comfort. When the unexpected happens, you and your family are protected by IESO coverage. In addition to sick leave and long-term disability, we provide generous life insurance coverage.

We Appreciate You

When one of us wins, we all win. But shared success doesn’t mean you can’t recognize individuals. When  colleagues and teams go above and beyond, we celebrate those contributions and acknowledge professional gains. 

Work that Matters

Meaningful work is at the heart of what we do. Our efforts impact homes, businesses, and communities across the province, ensuring a power system that’s reliable, affordable, and sustainable. This central role gives us a sense of pride and compels us to strive for excellence in everything we do.

Respect for everyone

Collaboration works best when everyone has a voice. We value teamwork, so we value the many voices and perspectives embodied at the IESO. Work, learn, and network in a culture that is respectful of one another’s differences and where members of all groups are treated equally.
