JOB OVERVIEW

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is looking for a dynamic, strategic and results-driven professional to join our team in the role of Manager, Remote Inspections & Maintenance.

This role will oversee Inspection & Maintenance teams in Dive Operations, Rope Access & NDE Inspections, Arial Inspections (Drone Operations) and Remote Inspections Engineering.  A key focus of this position is moving from reactive “break-fix” work toward a structured maintenance strategy and campaign-based execution, ensuring all planning, readiness, and resourcing are complete before field teams mobilize.

  • Manage and balance resources across multiple concurrent campaigns and clients, including seasonal/peak planning requirements.
  
  
  • Ensure strong field governance and compliance, including safe work planning, permits, and execution standards across specialized operations.
  
  
  • Ensure regulatory and site compliance across Nuclear and Renewable Generation environments.
  
  
  • Oversee maintenance fundamentals and work control discipline, ensuring readiness elements—such as pre-job briefs, lift planning, and hazard controls—are completed to the required standard.
  
  
  • Drive continuous improvement by strengthening planning and execution processes and adapting to organizational changes.
  
  
  • Identify resource requirements, optimize performance, and ensure activities are delivered within budget and at minimum practical cost.
  
  
  • Ensure management systems meet due diligence requirements and are effectively maintained and governed on an ongoing basis.
  
  
  • Maintain OPG and nuclear governing documents (policies, standards, procedures) in compliance with regulatory requirements.

The base salary range considers many factors including, but not limited to experience, education, and training, including any collective agreement requirements for union represented positions. It is not typical for the salary to be offered near the top of the range, and salary is dependent on numerous factors. For management roles, the base salary range does not represent the total compensation package. The total compensation package for regular full-time management roles includes pay-for-performance programs for annual and medium time periods. Maintaining a high-performance culture and excellence is a core expectation of every member of our leadership team and is rewarded through the established compensation framework.

OPG is committed to employment equity. As such, we encourage applicants from equity-seeking communities (Indigenous Peoples, racialized persons, persons with disabilities, and women). We strongly believe that alleviating the under-representation of equity-seeking individuals will create a stronger OPG team and allow us to better serve the needs of our diverse communities.

In order to fulfill the above-mentioned purpose, priority in hiring may be given to qualified persons who self-identify as a member of equity-seeking groups as identified in the application process. This initiative constitutes a special program under the Human Rights Code/Canadian Human Rights Act.
