Work environment

At Infrastructure Canada, we aim to be an employer of choice in the federal government by:
- Providing a healthy, respectful and supportive work environment for all employees;
- Celebrating our diversity and our commitment to values and ethics;
- Encouraging our employees to innovate and strive for excellence;
- Committing to continued learning and employees’ career development;
- Embracing new technology that enables a more effective and flexible workplace.

In our day-to-day, we:
- Work with all orders of government and key partners to invest in modern public infrastructure;
- Invest in areas such as public transit, bridges and walking and cycling paths, safe and clean drinking water, and cultural and recreational centres – and we support urban, Indigenous, rural and remote communities across Canada by also helping them address local homelessness needs.
- Keep Canadians informed of the benefits and positive outcomes of our investments in infrastructure.

Join us to contribute your creative ideas while working with a team of professionals who take pride in the work they are doing to help build stronger communities across Canada and improve Canadians’ quality of life.

Intent of the process

As and when needs arise at Infrastructure Canada, this inventory may be considered to fill a wide range of casual employment opportunities with various language requirements, operational requirements, and/or conditions of employment, for 90 working days in one calendar year.

The majority of our positions are located in Ottawa, with a number of positions in Montreal, and some in Vancouver. INFC will be reviewing its office footprint in the coming months and telework agreements may be considered to advance regional presence beyond Montreal and Vancouver, only on a case-by-case basis. In accordance with INFC’s current hybrid work model, employees hired within their position’s geographic work location are required to work in the office 40% of each month (e.g. approximately 2 days a week).
