Jobs in Vancouver, British Columbia

Vancouver’s largest employers are in health care, technology, film and television production, tourism, construction and trade through Canada’s busiest port. Postings for the city often cover the wider region, including Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam and North Vancouver.

Check the location carefully before applying. A job in Surrey or on the North Shore can mean a long trip from the city, although SkyTrain, SeaBus and frequent buses make many commutes possible without a car. Film crews and visual effects studios hire by the project, hotels and attractions staff up for summer and cruise season, and construction is busy year-round. Housing costs are high, so weigh pay against rent. Employers in BC must show a pay range in public postings. See technology jobs and hospitality jobs, or compare jobs in Victoria.
