Ottawa, Canada Progressive Contractors Association of Canada Full time

Are you eager to make a REAL difference in Ottawa?


The Progressive Contractors Association of Canada (PCA) is a national organization that promotes construction fairness for our members – 150 companies, including many of Canada’s largest industrial builders. You’re a bright, motivated self-starter who has experience in government relations and finds passion in policy, stakeholder and public relations, and pursuing a cause worth fighting for.


You’ll be a great fit if:


• You’re experienced, and have demonstrated excellence in, government relations and industrial policy at federal or provincial levels

• You’ve earned your stripes (3-5 years) working within government and understand how industrial and labour policies are made in Ottawa

• You’re a self-starter capable of thriving in a fast-paced, constantly-evolving environment

• You’re a quick learner, detail-oriented, and excited wading into the often puzzling and arcane world of labour, industrial and procurement policies in the Nation’s capital.

• The prospect of advocating principled policies that bring fairness to labour and the construction industry excites -- rather than intimidates -- you

• You understand the importance of building and maintaining relationships in order to get things done

• You are the ultimate team player, yet who thrives while working on your own

• You are a strong communicator at all levels: written and oral, industry and stakeholder, government committee, mainstream and social media

• You like people, and find ways to work constructively with them even when they are nasty or at their worst (as happens sometimes in Ottawa)

• You have the ability to not take yourself too seriously – especially when dealing with an Ottawa crowd that does that as a matter of course

• You can predict the future. Kidding. But you are able to understand what’s coming down the pike politically and policy-wise, and communicate these in a timely fashion


What you get:


• Competitive salary

• Full benefits package

• An exciting and rarely-boring work environment

• An awesome team that punches above their weight in policy and communications

• Exposure to and learning from many of Canada’s leading construction companies

• The opportunity to grow and shape the future of construction and infrastructure in Canada 


To be considered you’ll need:


• A reasonable familiarity with construction and (progressive) labour relations in Canada

• A principled view of the world

• A typo-free resume


If this posting grabs your interest, please send your resume and cover letter to Raheel Virani, PCA's Director of Finance and Administration, at rvirani@pcac.ca.
