Work environment

A wide range of opportunities exist for individuals seeking new challenges in a highly dynamic work environment. Joining PSPC is advantageous for several reasons:

Our Montréal offices are in the heart of the downtown core, so you’ll have easy access to public transport (subway, train station, bus).

Since January 2018, employees of Place Bonaventure have been working in an activity-based-work environment. What does this mean? There are various types of work stations suited to diverse tasks, meaning that you won’t have an assigned workspace.

You can take advantage of alternative working arrangements including telework, a compressed workweek, or a flexible schedule all while contributing to an organization dedicated to ensuring the well-being of its staff. In fact, PSPC is the first department to appoint a mental health Ombudsman.
