my name is Braden Hannah I’m a system
operator with Fortis Alberta on a daily
basis we control Monitor and schedule
switching within the electrical grid we
can be dealing with outages of up to 10
000 customers at once the system
operator is responsible for sourcing the
best way to get power back on I work
with great people it makes the bad days
seem not that bad and it makes the good
day seem great but then on top of that
it’s such a growing industry we all use
electricity in everything we do more so
now than ever before so the stability of
this industry has always appealed to me
the work that you do is valued and you
know it’s important but there’s also a
lot of emphasis on making sure that
you’re getting the time you need for
your own activities
so many of the people who are higher up
than I am come from positions of the
field and come from positions of
technical backgrounds leaders you’re
taking instruction from have done what
you’ve done and they’ve been here
through what you’ve been through that
inspires me to be part of it
