How the Service Works

At the request of Manitoba Hydro, the provincial government’s Employment Manitoba Branch administers a job referral service which refers qualified workers to employers working under contract during construction of the Wuskwatim Generating Station.

How the Service Works

If you want the opportunity to work at Wuskwatim, you MUST use this service. You can register on-line, in person, by mail or fax. For detailed information select “How to Register for Work” located on the left hand side of this screen.

Employers will begin the process of hiring workers by placing a job order.  Once the job order has been approved, the system will begin to match the needs of the employer to the individuals registered with the Job Referral Service (JRS).

When the match has been completed, the system will generate a list of qualified individuals.  The names are forwarded to the employer so they can begin to contact, interview and hire workers.

Please note – under the Bunrtwood Nelson Agreement (BNA), it is the employer’s responsibility to make the hiring decisions. The JRS does not have the authority to participate in the selection and recruitment of workers on the Wuskwatim project.
