JOIN US ON VANCOUVER ISLAND

Careers and jobs in civil and municipal engineering call on Vancouver Island. Demand for intermediate and senior engineers with 7-10 years of experience is growing at our five Island branches, in Campbell River, Courtenay, Duncan, Nanaimo, and in British Columbia’s seaside capital, Victoria. For the right candidates, we offer relocation support and professional growth.

COMBINE WORK AND PLAY

Life on Vancouver Island offers you an alternative to the cost and congestion of a city without giving up professional development. A place to call home for families and adventure-seekers alike, the Island represents a preferred, more affordable lifestyle while retaining the benefits of a career in the Lower Mainland. Our Island offices undertake work for local clients and assist with larger, more complex assignments in our mainland offices.

“My partner and I had been living in Vancouver for years, and we were ready to buy our first home, get a dog, and have kids. An opportunity came up with McElhanney to move to Victoria. And it’s really nice – Vancouver Island is so unique. It’s a slower pace of life but the people are still driven and accomplish a lot. Everybody takes the time to stop and breathe. It’s truly West Coast living!”
