ME AND MY JOB
Myths about the job
One of the biggest misconceptions about my job is that I'm simply a mechanic tinkering with pipes, and that there's no sophisticated thinking involved. This job involves a lot of high level problem solving, trouble-shooting, scientific knowledge and mathematics.
Another myth is that once you've got a job with Manitoba Hydro you're set for life. The reality is that this job requires constant ongoing professional learning and accountability.
