Current Openings

Feb 2008 - Civil Project Engineer, Design Technologist (PDF file)

We are always looking for suitably qualified individuals to progressively complement our team in a steadily growing Vancouver Island economy.  In particular, we have openings for the following:

• junior to intermediate civil engineers
• junior to intermediate technologists/CAD drafters
• administration staff
• civil engineering co-op students

Vancouver Island is extremely attractive from a growth and recreational perspective.  The central Island is the perfect place to establish a career, and to raise a family.  Quality of life on the Island is superior to most other locations in Canada.  Outdoor recreation here is world renowned, with many provincial and national parks, located in unspoiled mountain, river, lake and beach settings. There are over 10 golf courses, and many skiing, hiking, boating, fishing, diving, and even surfing locations, all within 2 hours from Parksville.  Commuting time to work is negligible compared to the larger centres, yet we are only a few hours away from Victoria and Vancouver.

Growth over the past 15 years has been higher than average for the province, resulting in great opportunities for growth related industries, including municipal infrastructure engineering.  Koers & Associates is well positioned on Vancouver Island, having developed an excellent reputation for quality engineering, personalized project service, and responsiveness to our clients’ needs.  The majority of our employees have been with the company for more than 5 years and are shareholders. 

The company has grown with its opportunities over the past twenty years, and offers great working conditions, competitive salaries, potential share ownership, profit sharing, modern company sponsored group benefit and retirement saving plans, performance rewards, flexibility to suit personal situations, continuing technical and personal development programs, and social activities involving the entire family.

Successful candidates will be self-motivated, committed to career development in a project team environment, have above average academic standing, and enjoy working with people.  Candidates are expected to be experienced and/or interested in the design and management of municipal water, sanitary sewer and storm water systems, demonstrate good written and verbal communication skills, and display strong computer skills. Koers & Associates also supports and participates in student Co-op programs at Canadian universities and colleges, and welcomes applications for co-op work terms from civil engineering students.
