Work environment

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) leads the management of Canada’s fisheries and the safeguarding of Canadian waters. The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), a Special Operating Agency within DFO, is responsible for services and programs that contribute to the safety, security, and accessibility of Canada’s waterways. With over 10,000 dedicated employees in over 400 locations across Canada, our Department is often the only federal presence in smaller coastal and remote communities. In January 2017, the Department received special recognition as one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People.

The Government of Canada has announced the Oceans Protection Plan, a whole-of-government approach to improve marine safety, to work with Indigenous groups, provinces, territories, and other stakeholders to better co-manage Canada’s oceans while advancing the Government’s broader objectives of reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, protection of the environment, protection of our coasts and waterways, and economic growth for the middle class.

DFO/CCG are recruiting to deliver on this significant commitment. A team of dedicated, dynamic and talented professionals, we are looking for enthusiastic individuals to join us in making an impact on the lives of Canadians.

DFO’s scientific knowledge and expertise, advice, products and services support evidence-based decision making, policy development, economic activity and stewardship of our waters. There are exciting career opportunities in areas such as fisheries and aquaculture management, regulation, science and innovation; habitat protection, oceans management, and ecosystems research; and charting of Canadian waters and modelling of ocean conditions, among others.

A nationally recognized, world-leading symbol of safety, operating along the longest coastline in the world, CCG is entrusted to deliver valuable programs and services to Canadians that save lives, protect the environment and support our Canadian economy. Embracing a proactive culture for 24/7 service to Canadians and for Canadians, CCG offers exciting sea-going and shore-based career opportunities in the delivery of critical maritime safety, security and response services; response to on-water and maritime incidents using a variety of vessels, hovercraft, helicopters, and small craft; and providing vital information and assistance to vessels, including navigation support, distress and safety communications and coordination of maritime trade.

The Department also offers exciting opportunities in its Corporate Services in areas such as information technology, program development and services; real property management; and human resource staffing and classification.

Do you believe in the gold standard of service? Do you thrive on change and exciting new projects? If that is who you want to be, then DFO/CCG is the place for you! Women, Aboriginal people and visible minorities are particularly encouraged to apply.
