About This Job

Recognized as a leader in innovative energy solutions, Creative Energy designs, builds, owns, and operates sustainable district energy systems across Canada and parts of the US. Our team has a client-focused, community-vested approach to projects that deliver outstanding quality and service while providing tangible value for continued growth.

In addition to owning and operating one of Canada’s largest thermal networks in downtown Vancouver, we provide value to developers, landowners, end-users and the broader community through flexible thermal neighbourhood energy systems. Our projects focus on innovation, resiliency, and sustainability, and span across a broad spectrum of technologies including geo-exchange, ocean exchange, cogeneration, microgrids, solar PVs, and sewer heat recovery.

Serving Canadians for over 55 years with a reliability rate of 99.99%, we’re developing more than a dozen new low-carbon district energy systems across North America, including the revitalization and decarbonization of our downtown Vancouver steam plant which will be one of North America’s largest thermal fuel-switch projects and provide downtown Vancouver with renewable energy infrastructure for decades to come.



The Opportunity:

We are seeking a technically versatile and relationship-oriented Systems Administrator to support infrastructure across both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) environments. This cross-functional role is critical in maintaining secure, resilient, and modern systems while enabling the company’s transition to a cloud-first model. You will collaborate with internal teams, third-party vendors, and cybersecurity specialists to manage systems, support deployments, and contribute to process improvements across hybrid cloud, on-premises, and OT infrastructure.


Your core responsibilities include the following:

Administer and maintain hybrid IT infrastructure, including Azure-hosted Windows Server VMs, Entra ID, and Intune-managed endpoints.
Lead implementation and maintenance of Microsoft 365 services (Intune, Universal Print, BYOD, Telephony).
Manage vSphere/ESXi environments and support OT infrastructure including Veeam backups and Palo Alto/FortiGate firewalls.
Coordinate and support patching, configuration, and commissioning of OT-adjacent platforms and services.
Collaborate with the Cybersecurity Analyst to support vulnerability remediation, antivirus deployment, and separation of duties.
Develop and maintain accurate documentation, including diagrams, configuration baselines, SOPs, and lifecycle plans.
Contribute to audit readiness by compiling technical evidence and supporting compliance with cybersecurity frameworks.
Communicate and coordinate with the MSP and internal stakeholders to ensure smooth delivery of IT operations.
Partner with Operations, OT, and Cybersecurity teams to ensure shared ownership of change and infrastructure design.
Recommend improvements and contribute to standardization, automation, and cost-efficiency across IT/OT systems.
Conduct research and proof-of-concept evaluations for tools, platforms, and configurations; make deployment recommendations based on findings.


Qualifications and Experience:

5+ years of progressive IT infrastructure experience.
Strong understanding of Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune, and Entra ID.
Experience with VMware (vSphere/ESXi), firewall configuration, and system patching.
Familiarity with endpoint compliance, BYOD, and Universal Print.
Exposure to OT environments or field-based infrastructure is an asset.
Certifications such as Microsoft Endpoint Administrator, Network+, or Security+ are desirable.


Specialized Skills and Knowledge:

Strong relationship building and cross-functional collaboration.
Adaptable, calm under pressure, and open to changing priorities.
Proactive and curious, with a passion for understanding how systems serve business needs.
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and helping others find clarity.
Diplomatic communicator: confident enough to advocate, humble enough to listen.
Strong documentation practices and respect for process without rigidity.
Values autonomy and mutual respect and thrives in an environment of open communication and low ego.


What we Offer:

Be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration and excellence.
Competitive starting salary - $75,000 - $95,000 and performance-based bonus program; the salary range is a guide and placement on the range is dependent on your applicable experience, qualifications, skills and knowledge. We are committed to providing a fair, equitable and competitive compensation package that reflects the value an individual brings to the team.
Comprehensive benefits package, including an RRSP matching program at 5%.
There is no formal on-call requirement, but occasional after-hours or weekend work may be required.
Hybrid office and site-based work expected.

We thank all applicants for their interest; however, we will only be contacting selected candidates for follow-up.
