About Sitka Power
Sitka Power is a renewable energy company committed to powering a sustainable future. Our goal is to build, own, and operate a diverse portfolio of renewable energy projects across Canada, including solar, wind, hydro, and battery storage.
Job Description
Sitka Power is seeking an Operations Engineer to support the technical operation and continuous improvement of our generation fleet. This role blends traditional plant engineering responsibilities, including equipment troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and maintenance coordination, with a growing analytics and automation mandate.

This is an ideal role for a hands‑on engineer or technologist who is equally comfortable in the field diagnosing equipment issues and at a desk building analytical models or dashboards from historian data.
Why This Role Matters
Reliable operations are central to Sitka Power’s ability to deliver clean energy safely, efficiently, and responsibly. In this role, you will help turn field observations and operating data into practical improvements that increase asset availability, reduce downtime, improve reporting, and support better operational decisions across a growing renewable energy portfolio.
