provincial and national leaders as critical infrastructure for Canada’s future, the project is being advanced in partnership
with First Nations and the Province of B.C.. Joining our engineering teams to work on projects like North Coast
Transmission means contributing to transformative initiatives and projects that will power B.C.’s next wave of industrial
development and strengthen communities across the province and country.

To deliver this work, we are looking for experienced engineers at Senior and Specialist levels who are ready to take their
expertise to a new level.

In return, you get rare stability and a real sense of purpose: a guaranteed lifetime defined-benefit pension, flexible and
comprehensive benefits with dedicated mental-health coverage, strong work-life balance, and long-term job security. You’ll
have opportunities to keep learning, spend time in the field and on site, and build a career where your work genuinely
matters.

You’ll also be part of an inclusive community that values ownership and belonging, paired with the lifestyle advantages of
the Vancouver region—mild winters, mountains, water, lakes, and rivers all close to home.

In your cover letter, please let us know which discipline or role you’re applying for.
