BC Hydro Employees salaries
 

As question states, if you're working for Hydro in their backoffice (not engineers), ie in their Finance/Accounting department, how much do they pay on average?

I'm asking because I've recently heard crazy stories about people first year out of univ making around $85k a year... or an admin job in the interior paying for over $100k a year. Outraged to hear these stories but just wanted to confirm that might know people that work for Hydro if these are true figures.

salaries of bc hydro workers that make over 80gs are publicly posted as are all crown and govt corps.

google it, the vancouver sun had a link.

i heard that a substation manager / technicians get paid over 100k a year.

some of the highest paid are the line technicians that fix downed powerlines during storms

they make 200K+

remember that its all double time and triple time, they put in lots of hours

plus the benefits are excellent, paid sick days, swp days with pay, lots of time off too

apprentices with bc hydro can make over $100000 with overtime

my bro works there. He's an electrical engineer in the powersmart program he makes well over 100k. It's not the money thats the most attractive, it's the benefits. He gets 8-10weeks of vacation a year, company credit card, and a shit load of other stuff. It's a dream come true to work for them lol.

8-10 WEEKS?
thats like 2 months?????

Shiet, big company's. Hard to get in though?

yeah its insane. i think when he was going through the hiring process, BC hydro accepted 1/300-400 applicants? Theres only like 12-15 people in the powersmart program so at the time they probably only had 1-2openings?

Your bro must have been outstanding in some sort of way for them to accept him.

he had 4-5 co-ops. 2 of which were with BC hydro. Others were with Shaw + some electrical company in hk and i forgot the last one.

A lot of govt or crown corp employees get 6 to 8 weeks of holiday.

unions mang!!

WTF 8-10 weeks of PAID holiday?!

Lots of government employees get it that for sure, my mom gets almost 10 weeks with fraser health. My wife is with Accenture but under the Hydro's old contract and probably gets 6weeks plus another 2 weeks worth of "Y" days so it works out to about 8 weeks of paid vacation. I haven't had 8 weeks off in the last 8 years all together.
