Is it okay to email an employee?

Met an employee at a BB a few times. I was wondering if it would be okay to email him stating my interest in his field and ask him if he knows of any available opportunities and could hopefully pass my resume along. The problem with this is I think he would assume I could simply find this information by going on the website.

Your goal should be to grow you network which will lead to opportunities. Otherwise, people will direct you to their company websites.

Make it clear you'd appreciate it if he could point you in the direction of someone who can give good career advice or know of opportunities. Offer to take them out for coffee/drinks. You don't want to come off as a transactional relationship sort of guy.

But yeah, contact this employee and generally be aggressive in networking. People like it when they're in a position to help someone and the worst he can do is ignore you and you're no worse off.
