General Manager
Dinosaur Gas Co-op Ltd. – Brooks, Alberta
Lead a Rural Natural Gas Utility Where Every Day Makes a Difference
Dinosaur Gas Co-op Ltd. is a member-owned natural gas utility that has proudly served rural homes, farms, and businesses throughout the County of Newell since 1973.
We are seeking an energetic, motivated, and hands-on General Manager to lead our organization. This unique leadership role combines executive management with utility operations, construction project management, financial administration, regulatory compliance, and community engagement.
