Company Culture
We are 100% employee‑owned, every employee has a s
The Role GrizzlyTrek is seeking one HPU Commissioning Operator to join our value‑added client's team in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
With construction winding down, the project is now moving into commissioning, startup, and early operations.
The complex is one of the largest energy transition projects in Canada.
It combines auto-thermal reforming (ATR) hydrogen production with carbon capture of roughly 95 percent of CO2 for permanent underground sequestration, Western Canada's only liquid hydrogen production facility, and a 100 percent hydrogen-fueled power generation unit capable of exporting clean power to the Alberta grid.
The site ties into an existing regional hydrogen pipeline network in the Alberta Industrial Heartland and is positioned to make the Edmonton region the centre of Western Canada's hydrogen economy.
