Most importantly, you're passionate about customers, energized by competition, and motivated by results.

At Encor, we're building something special, and we're looking for leaders who want to help drive that journey. If you're passionate about growing a business, leading high-performing teams, and creating lasting customer relationships, we'd love to hear from you. Join us and play a key role in building Alberta's energy retailer of choice.
