Specialist, Compliance Assurance

The Opportunity

The Specialist, Compliance Assurance, is responsible for supporting the delivery of the Alberta Energy Regulator’s (AER’s) compliance assurance program by providing subject matter expert advice on all aspects of compliance assurance activities. This role increases understanding of the AER’s compliance assurance program and promotes increased industry accountability and performance to ensure the AER’s mandate is upheld. This includes the analysis, investigation and evaluation of compliance information, coordination, and monitoring and management of the most complex or comprehensive compliance files.

You will advise on the most appropriate regulatory actions to take and engage with stakeholders to help arrive at effective compliance and enforcement solutions. The successful candidates will be joining a dedicated, cohesive, and dynamic team of compliance professionals whose focus is work that truly matters to Alberta and Albertans.

What your day-to-day will look like:

• Perform holistic licensee assessments (HLA), and compliance assessments on licensees identified by systems and processes of the Liability Management Program (LMP) and compliance assurance program as licensees of concern.

• Leverage compliance assurance and enterprise systems to consider other compliance issues, and any other licensee information from working groups to be included in a comprehensive, risk-informed analysis of a licensee. Present findings and other information for review and feedback.

• Act as the file lead for licensees requiring regulatory action and compliance activities based on HLA and other compliance assessments.

• Support Statutory Decision Makers (SDM’s) on files requiring action commensurate with 1A/1B delegation of authority such as orders or limiting eligibility. On files not requiring SDM involvement, act as the prime driver of the file, working with subject matter experts to issue appropriate regulatory actions such as notice of non-compliance and letters of regulatory concern.

• Provide subject matter advice and support to all AER staff who undertake inspection, audit, investigation, and enforcement activities across the organization, including those who perform SDM duties.

• Provide customized problem solving and develop tools and procedures to support and promote effective compliance assurance and defensible decisions.

• Support development activities and contribute to the continuous improvement and implementation of new processes and systems for compliance assurance that will enable effective regulatory interventions with licensees.

• Support the development of internal and external organizational reporting to share information on LMP and compliance risk management and performance.

• Work on projects across the enterprise involving compliance assurance and enforcement aspects.

• Take on new responsibilities as the work of the Compliance Assurance Team (CAT) demands.

What we’re looking for in you:

• Bachelor’s degree in regulatory, environmental science, enforcement, business, sociology, criminology, or another related field.

• 5+ years of related experience preferably in an environmental, oil and gas, or regulatory field.

• Understanding of the Liability Management Framework and risk management in relation to energy development is preferred.

• Knowledge and understanding of AER activities, priorities, and applicable legislation is considered an asset.

• Ability to move multiple files, in different stages of completion, to a successful conclusion, working with SDM’s, SME’s, leadership and other stakeholders.

• Demonstrate initiative, work collaboratively and effectively in an established or ad hoc team setting.

Additional Information:

• All applicants must be legally entitled to work in Canada at the time of application.

• Should an individual with the required qualifications not be available, applicants with closely related qualifications may be considered. As a result, the position may be redesigned and/or reclassified.

• There is a business requirement for this incumbent to be in Calgary for meetings with licensees as required.

• If you need accommodation during any stage of the recruitment process, please email PeopleServices@aer.ca. Information relating to the need for accommodation and accommodation measures will be addressed confidentially.

What we offer you:

• Opportunity to make a difference and be part of a performance driven team that is responsible for the efficient, safe, orderly, and environmentally responsible development of Alberta’s energy and mineral resources.

• The ability to leverage your expertise and critical thinking skills to contribute in wide-ranging, challenging, and complex work.

• Flexible work options and hours, aligned with organizational policies.
