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.
Why engineering is a great industry for a long-lasting career
Engineers solve complex problems and help improve people’s lives. That’s why it is such a well-respected field – it brings value to local communities. There are many diverse reasons why people choose a career in engineering.
They improve the world around them
Engineers at all levels, from early career engineering jobs to senior engineering jobs, create valuable solutions to problems. They work on clean water initiatives, climate change, and advances in technology, making meaningful contributions at a local, national, and global level.
Innovation and problem solving
Using cutting-edge technology and applied science, engineers constantly innovate and solve problems. Their discoveries and solutions shape the world we live in and help define the future.
Engineers help people live better lives
Engineers are often the vanguard of saving life, property, and public welfare. As a result, they enjoy a similar level of regard to doctors and lawyers, occupying a respected place in society.
The career has no limits
Of course, engineers are often savvy businesspeople, understanding that their engineering license opens up a world of career opportunities around the globe. Similarly, engineers are safeguarded against market changes and economic downturns – their role is always in demand.
Excellent earning potential
Engineers enjoy deservedly high pay for their work, as this is one of the most in-demand professions. They typically earn excellent salaries and benefits throughout every stage of their career.
