Great workplace, new challenges every day

Area Distribution Engineering Technician Student (Former Employee) - Caledonia, ON - 15 January 2021

I really enjoyed my Co-op at Hydro One. It's a safety oriented company, so a typical day started early with a daily crew talk and progress review. Management was always keen to remind everyone to stay safe. With the exception of job plans, I rarely ever did the same task from day to day. Learned a ton about Hydro One's infrastructure, both software and hardware. My coworkers were truly great sources of inspiration and advice. Only real hard part was getting used to the work culture, never experienced anything like it.

Pros

Free lunch during winter, highly supportive and collaborative environment

Cons

Long training/vetting process

Staff helpful and very supportive, generous and willing to help Co-Op students.

Meter Technician & Area Distribution Technician CO-OP (Former Employee) - Essex, ON - 28 July 2020

I had a great work term working for Hydro One. I learned a lot and did a ton of field work every day with MTECH and ADET staff. Inter-departmental communication better than many employers. Staff from other departments (Lines, Forestry) always willing to help and offer advice.

Pros

Some overtime available, able to see lots of different things/areas every day in the field.

Cons

Standard work hours, however, 7am-3pm work day does not leave much room for evening activities & leisure time, many days you come home exhausted and need to nap for an hour.

Provide all resource for your success

Data Analyst (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 22 March 2020

They pay well. Good structure. Depends on your manager. Overall professional place to work with all resources available to you. Mangers are generally accomodating to your needs unless its work-from-home requests. The job is comparatively easy if you are willing to learn and put real effort into your work. You will be recognized and rewarded according to the manager. This maybe in compliments, team acknowledgment. I have seen someone get a gift for putting in sincere effort in their day-to-day work.

Corruption

Power Lineman Apprentice (Former Employee) - Orillia, ON - 12 March 2020

I Was wrongfully terminated by power hungry management. He Maid up corrupt false documents to have me fired. Hydro one does not care about there employes. All you are to them is a number. For instance if your employe number is #897646 that’s all you are to them. Your name means nothing
