Work environment

Join Transport Canada – where the news happens every day!

When you come home from your day at Transport Canada (TC), you will find that the work we do and the issues we deal with feature prominently in the news of the day. You will support and provide advice to clients who develop policies and enforce acts and regulations that support transportation efficiency, safety, security, durability, and align with global standards. We have many new and exciting initiatives such as drone rules, research and studies of automated and connected vehicles, making zero-emission vehicles more affordable, licensing of pilots, car seats safety and Canada’s waterways and marine ecosystem protection. We promote a safe and secure, efficient and environmentally responsible transportation system in Canada, as described here: https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/transport-canada/corporate/aboutus-whatwedo.html


HERE ARE SOME REASONS TO GET ON BOARD WITH TRANSPORT CANADA!
TC offers a rich technical environment for financial professionals. Robust business intelligence systems, evolving data analytics capability, and the introduction of robotic process automation give financial analysts the equipment they need to excel in their roles. Universal use of tablet computers, wifi throughout the workplace, and robust VPN access permit analysts to remain productive while on the move, and helped Transport Canada adapt extraordinarily well to offsite work this year.

If your job does require you to work in our offices, you will find excellent access to public transport that includes a light rail station located within the building itself, meaning a lunchtime trip to the Rideau Centre can be accomplished without even dressing for the weather. For individuals who like to commute to work using foot power as their mode of transportation, you will be charmed with hundreds of kilometres of paved pathways at your disposal and easily accessible, while enjoying the beauty of the National Capital Region. On arrival, you have access to showers, changing rooms and spaces for bicycles. https://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/places/capital-pathway .

Our offices are in a complex of buildings interconnected through an underground commercial area (i.e. restaurants, coffee and bakery shops, local retail businesses, indoor parking). You are a walk away from downtown Ottawa, the National Arts Centre, the Byward market, the Rideau Centre, Ottawa’s many famous festivals, and much more.

We look forward to hearing from you!
