About the HP Classification
The HP (Heating, Power and Stationary Plant Operations) group covers stationary engineers, power plant operators, and building systems technicians who operate and maintain heating, cooling, and power generation systems at federal buildings and installations. HP employees keep federal facilities running — from the boiler plants that heat Parliament Hill to the power generation systems at remote military bases and Arctic research stations.
HP positions require provincial stationary engineer certification (often 3rd or 4th class) depending on the complexity of the systems being operated. The work involves monitoring boilers, chillers, electrical distribution systems, and building automation controls. HP-01 through HP-03 cover operator positions at varying complexity levels. Higher HP levels cover supervisory roles and chief engineers responsible for entire building complexes or campus-wide utility systems.
The HP group is represented by PSAC. Federal stationary engineering work is similar to equivalent roles in the private sector, but federal HP employees benefit from the pension and job security that private-sector building operators typically lack. The group is particularly important at facilities that cannot tolerate heating or power failures — military installations, data centres, and northern facilities where equipment failure in winter could have severe consequences.
