Unique and interesting work
Transport Canada has one of the largest and most diverse portfolios in the federal public service. For our employees, this means that their career options are almost endless. From trains, to car seats, to protecting marine life such as whales, to supporting Indigenous pathways, our work is interesting, challenging, and unique. It's a chance to work on emerging transportation issues which have a direct impact on Canadians across the country.
Work-life balance
Leaders at Transport Canada encourage and model behaviors that support employees in adopting flexible work arrangements and disconnecting outside of work hours. Where operationally feasible, flexible work arrangements can help employees achieve a balance between their work requirements and personal lives, which can help foster an agile and high-performing workforce. Flexible work arrangements at TC may include:
- telework up to 2 days per week
- flexible work hours, and
- variable work schedules
Furthermore, there are various types of leave options (with and without pay), including sick leave, family-related leave and leave to engage in traditional Indigenous practices, in accordance with collective agreements.
