Qualifications for Construction Services positions vary and typical applicants should be college or university graduates in engineering or architecture, with at least three years of work experience in construction or contract work.
Contract Services
Contracting officers prepare all types of procurement documents for projects ranging from a few thousand dollars to more than $100 million. Employees plan and monitor procurement activities and participate in the award of contracts to firms providing everything from construction services to office supplies.
DCC seeks employees for its Contract Services group who have a college or university degree in engineering, business, law or architecture, and one year of complementary work experience. Strong interpersonal skills, a high level of tact and discretion, and knowledge of federal government contracting policies are definite assets for this work.
Environmental Services
Work in this growing area of DCC business involves some of Canada’s most challenging environmental projects, including the clean up of contaminated sites in Canada’s high arctic and clearing unexploded explosive ordinance at military bases and other locations. Employees carry out, among other duties, environmental management planning, monitoring, reporting, auditing, environmental assessments, site assessments and site delineations.
The experience and education required for Environmental Services positions varies, but generally we look for university graduates in engineering, environmental science or a related discipline, who have three to eight years of relevant work experience along with knowledge of federal and provincial environmental regulations.

Architects and engineers are typical members of the team, although applicants with a background in other disciplines that involve critical thinking, analysis and problem solving are welcome. Experience levels vary between positions, but a common requirement is the ability and desire to practise in a collegial and collaborative environment in which knowledge is shared.
