Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) manages one of the largest and most diverse portfolios of real estate in the country and is the Government of Canada’s real property expert. The Science and Parliamentary Infrastructure Branch (SPIB) offers a dynamic team, a challenging work portfolio, opportunities for growth, and unique access to historic buildings.

As part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with federal and municipal partners on a range of activities, from urban planning to project delivery, which will influence the evolution of Parliament Hill and surroundings.

In between stakeholder meetings, senior management briefings, consultant calls and document reviews, hardworking and fun-loving colleagues find time to share urban inspirations, project experiences and enjoy nearby patios.

We provide a single point of service delivery to Crown assets within the Parliamentary Precinct, in partnership with our parliamentary partners: the Senate of Canada, the House of Commons, the Library of Parliament and the Parliamentary Protective Service. Our other clients include the Privy Council Office and the Prime Minister’s Office. We also manage the space for commercial tenants, leasing the properties along Sparks Street. Services we offer to our partners and clients include: accommodation planning, capital projects planning and delivery and building operations and maintenance to ensure ongoing continuity of government.
