The Mactaquac Generating Station began generating electricity in 1968. Since the 1980s, concrete portions of the hydro station have been affected by a chemical reaction called alkali-aggregate reaction. The reaction causes the concrete to swell and crack and has required substantial annual maintenance and repairs. NB Power is proposing a project to ensure the station can operate to its intended 100-year lifespan with a modified approach to maintenance and adjusting and replacing equipment and concrete overtime.

As part of the Mactaquac Life Achievement Project, the Senior Cost Control Analyst (Senior Project Controls Analyst) is responsible for providing accurate and timely cost reporting to the project team.

• Prepare and present reports using multiple tools and formats such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Develop key performance indicators (KPIs), including leading indicators, to support proactive project monitoring and decision-making.
