Join us, and together, let's shape a brighter future for B.C.

Position Overview

You’re an auditing expert with exceptional planning skills and attention-to-detail. Calm and collected regardless of the situation, you’re a multi-tasker who can meet the tightest deadlines without breaking a sweat. While you pride yourself on your ability to collaborate with and engage various stakeholders, your proven ability to develop and execute internal audits from scratch to address risk and broad background makes you a perfect candidate for our Senior Internal Auditor position.  

Reporting to the Manager, Internal Audit, in this role, you’ll provide expertise in the planning and executing of risk-based, complex, internal audits and produce actionable reports based on your findings. You’ll also identify and evaluate risk areas and provide input to develop audit plans and modify existing plans as new risks arise. Additionally, you’ll proactively advise business units on internal control best practices to manage risks appropriately.

As one of B.C.’s Top Employers, we’re looking for someone who brings an analytical mindset to bolster teams and projects forward. If this sounds like you, join us in transforming B.C.’s energy future.

In this role, you will:

• Develop a thorough understanding of our Gas, Electric and non-regulated business processes while building relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Independently conduct and complete assigned audits which may range from financial, compliance, operational, and IT-related audits. 
• Document, discuss, propose remediation and follow-up on audit findings with relevant stakeholders.
• Provide advisory support to relevant stakeholders on Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Internal Controls over Sustainability Reporting, system implementations, operational, and capital projects.
• Proactively identify and implement opportunities to optimize the Internal Audit team’s own audit and advisory function's effectiveness.
• Maintain and strengthen relationships with all relevant internal and external stakeholders as a sought after business partner.
• Provide industry knowledge and technical expertise and coaching (including teamwork, communication and relationship building) to Internal Auditors to build capacity and capability of the Internal Audit Team.

What it takes:

• Chartered Professional Accountant designation (CPA) or Certified Internal Auditor designation (CIA) from a recognized institution with three to five years post designation plus three to five years of recent internal auditing experience in a large organization.
• Exceptional knowledge of the Global Internal Audit Standards. 
• A team-player and self-starter with incredible multi-tasking skills and the ability to meet various deadlines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Passion, engagement and drive as a valued business partner and solution facilitator in helping FortisBC manage business risks.

In this role, you will have the option to participate in a flexible work program, enabling you to work from an approved flex location in British Columbia up to 85 days a year (equivalent to approximately two days a week), subject to business or operational needs.

Our engaging workplace offers a wide range of challenging opportunities, while being safe, inclusive, and diverse. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, while supporting life-long career development. We also encourage volunteerism and nourish the need to give back to your community.
