Job description

Student Engineering Technician

Temporary Full Time Position (Approximately 4 months)

This vacancy is only available for students. Enrolment in a full‑time post‑secondary education program is mandatory.

Bring your curiosity, your CAD skills, and your (steel‑toed) hiking boots. In Saanich, you can finish a site visit and be on a beach, a bike trail, or a mountain path before dinner.

Why you’ll love living and working in Saanich

  • West Coast lifestyle, zero compromise : Minutes to ocean, lakes, farms, and an active urban core in Greater Victoria.
  • Community impact you can see : Work on projects your friends and neighbours will use—safer and more efficient intersections, better bike routes, and welcoming public spaces.
  • BC’s Top Employer (2025) : Collaborative teams, flexible work programs, and excellent benefits support you while you learn and grow.
  • A culture that backs you : 1,500+ colleagues across a high‑performing municipality who share knowledge, pitch in, and celebrate wins.

What you’ll do (and brag about later)

  • Design the details : Use AutoCAD to produce civil drawings and base plans for real‑world transportation and development projects.
  • Crunch the numbers : Build spreadsheets, run basic engineering and cost analyses, and perform foundational calculations that inform design decisions.
  • Head into the field : Collect data on pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicle flows; support site investigations; complete field observations and briefs.
  • Shape ideas : Contribute to concept development for capital and development projects; help standardize tools, templates, and workflows.
  • Be the friendly face of engineering : Respond to public inquiries with patience and professionalism.
  • Pitch in where it counts : Tackle varied tasks across the Transportation Division—every day is a little different.
  • What you bring

    Education : At least one year completed in a university or technical civil engineering program; currently enrolled full‑time.

  • Tools of the trade : Working knowledge of AutoCAD and spreadsheets; comfort with basic engineering math and software.
  • Field‑ready mindset : Organized, observant, and happy to split time between office and site.
  • Communication chops : Clear writing for reports; confident, respectful interactions with the public and team members.
  • Licence : Valid B.C. Driver’s Licence.
  • Your growth path starts here

  • Mentorship and exposure : Learn from seasoned municipal engineers and technologists working on planning, design, and construction of transportation assets.
  • Portfolio‑worthy work : Contribute to strategic initiatives and capital projects you can point to on a map.
  • Skill acceleration : Expand your CAD, analysis, and field competencies; help build standards and templates that outlast your term.
  • Future opportunities : Strong performance can open doors to co‑ops, extensions, and entry‑level roles.
  • Ready to make an impact?

    If you are keen to learn, willing to get your boots muddy, and excited to help shape a safer, greener Saanich, we want to meet you.

    The District of Saanich is committed to an inclusive, respectful, and equitable workplace. Candidates from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

    This is a C.U.P.E. Local 2011 position with a wage of $31.22 per hour (2024 rate) plus 15% in lieu of benefits. Job description and competition information can be found at www.saanich.ca. Please apply via our careers page by 11 : 45 p.m. on February 5, 2026 quoting competition 26018. We thank all applicants for applying. Only those under consideration will be contacted.
