Job description

Description :

  • 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 : Collaborative teams, flexible work programs, and excellent benefits support you while you learn and grow.
  • A culture that backs you : 1,+ 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.

    We thank all applicants for applying. Only those under consideration will be contacted.

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