insights Future-proof your career with an engineering job in Canada
Engineers are a curious and ambitious cohort, always looking for ways to future-proof their careers and find new challenges. That’s why engineering jobs in Canada are such exciting opportunities. Read ahead to learn about the Canadian engineering market and why it’s so well-suited for a dynamic and lucrative career.
Understanding the Canadian engineering market
Canada is one of the world’s most sought-after places to build a career in engineering. Total in-house R&D spending in 2022 is expected to reach $23.8 billion, meaning that exciting projects are on the horizon. This indicates that the industry is growing faster than many other Canadian industries, as the value of the construction industry skyrockets by more than 6% each year.
The rapid growth is especially apparent in projects around the country, such as the Canada Line light rail extension in Vancouver, the construction of the Brun-Way Trans-Canada Highway, and the new Champlain Bridge corridor in Montreal.
Engineers remain essential to Canada’s society and economy as the overall economy recovers from the Covid-19 slump. Throughout the process, the government has remained committed to clean energy initiatives and recently launched a $964 million program to encourage renewable energy jobs, many of which will be engineering jobs.
Moreover, Canadians enjoy a high quality of life with a stable government, abundant natural resources, and a healthy work/life balance.
