Role Overview
Teck is looking for an experienced Energy Operations & Assets Lead to join our team at Trail Operations, one of the world's largest fully integrated zinc and lead smelting and refining complexes. Reporting to the Energy Manager, the Energy Operations & Assets Lead is responsible for the safe, reliable, compliant, and cost-effective operation and stewardship of Trail Operations' energy assets, including hydroelectric generation facilities and transmission infrastructure, as well as the effective management of its commercial energy agreements.
This role provides leadership across energy operations, asset management, reliability, regulatory compliance, capital planning, contract management, and commercial optimization.

As a key operational interface with regulators, utilities, Indigenous partners, counterparties, and other external stakeholders, the Lead will help ensure secure and reliable electricity supply while optimizing asset performance and business value.
