What Our Employees Are Saying
Work Culture & Team Atmosphere
“The culture here is awesome. We’re a team of young and engaged people who enjoy the work we do. People are also friends outside of work, and Powertech often helps sponsor activities outside of the office to encourage team building.”
Tanja Smutny
Team Lead, Hydrogen Fuel Systems Testing (Started 2012)
Innovation & Impact of Work
“It’s exciting because working in a typical lab, you only analyze a sample and you don’t know what happens with your result, or why you take the sample. At Powertech, we talk to the people in the field so we’re able to see how our analytic work is applied to their safety procedures and other things. It’s very satisfying to be involved in work outside of the lab.”
Weili Kang
Scientist in Chemistry (Started in 2004)
Mentorship & Career Growth
“I have really good mentors working alongside me. They’re not just co-workers and managers; they give me a good balance of training and knowledge to do the job right, while still giving me the freedom to figure things out on my own and come up with new ideas.”
Rhuella Demegillo
Electrical Technician, Generation Technology & Testing (Started 6 years ago)
Flexibility & Trust
“From my first day at Powertech, I noticed how friendly everyone was. I really appreciate the flexibility in my role, the supportive environment, and the trust between managers and staff.”
Maninder Gill
PC & LAN Specialist, IT Department (Started 2015)

“Powertech welcomes fresh ideas. Many teams propose creative solutions, and management genuinely listens. It’s great to be part of a workplace where new ideas are taken seriously and often implemented.”
