Job description

Vancouver Tower isn't just another posting—it's where your expertise shapes one of North America's most complex airspace environments. You'll manage traffic from 40+ airlines connecting six continents, handling everything from float planes to wide-body internationals.

Life beyond the tower : Finish your shift and be on the slopes of Grouse Mountain. Kayak English Bay before your evening shift. Walk through Canada Place—where cruise ships dock and seaplanes land. Vancouver isn't just scenic; it's functional beauty that enhances your daily routine.
