Maintenance & Reliability Electrical Engineer or Technologist

Alberta Newsprint Company (ANC), a joint venture of the Stern Group and West Fraser Timber Company Ltd., is a leading manufacturer of premium paper products. Located in Whitecourt, and operating with a non-unionized workforce, the firm’s paper mill—the first in Alberta—produces paper of such high quality that it has become the standard by which other paper products manufactured in North America are measured. The company is a successful, well-financed, progressive organization that is regarded as one of the best companies in the paper industry.

Associated with its newsprint operations, ANC Power commissioned in 2014 a stand-alone, gas-fired reciprocating engine power plant capable of providing approximately 65MW of electrical power for use by the newsprint mill or for export to the Alberta power grid. The power plant will operate as a ‘peaker’ plant, being taken on-line or off as warranted by fluctuations in market power prices.
