Civic jobs pay very well, and right now is a great time to look if you’re seeking employment, as most cities in Metro Vancouver are hiring for lucrative roles.
The great thing about some positions that need to be filled is that they don’t require much experience or education other than high school graduation. Some do require post-secondary courses as supplementary background.
We recently listed some of the highest-paying civic jobs in Metro Vancouver, which include New Westminster, Vancouver, Richmond, etc.
