Engineers Canada is the national organization that upholds the honour, integrity, and interests of the engineering profession by supporting consistent high standards in the regulation of engineering, encouraging the growth of the profession in Canada, and inspiring public confidence. For over 80 years, Engineers Canada, in concert with the nation’s 12 engineering regulators, has worked on behalf of the provincial and territorial associations that regulate engineering practice and license the country’s 300,000 members of the engineering profession. More than ever, the prosperity of our country and the welfare of its citizens depends on the skilled application of applied science and engineering knowledge to protect the public and advance society. It is within this exciting context that Engineers Canada is seeking its next Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

The CEO will passionately promote greater understanding of the nature, role, and contribution of professional engineers and engineering to Canadian society, regularly engage and build trusting and collaborative relationships with key provincial, territorial, and federal stakeholders and will work with the regulators to help ensure that the highest professional standards are maintained in the licensing of all Canadian professional engineers.
