*COMPETITION IS CLOSED*
There are many ways to describe what it’s like to work for the ministry’s Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) branch.
Experienced and aspiring vehicle safety officers and inspectors now have the chance to add their skills to CVSE’s province-wide effort to make British Columbia’s highways safer.
We’re looking to fill positions in three job types:
Area Vehicle Inspector
Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer
Carrier Safety Inspector
Area Vehicle Inspector
On the job: An Area Vehicle inspector works on the go, independently monitoring and inspecting vehicles, loads, licences, insurance, drivers and carriers to protect highway infrastructure, and the people who use it, through enforcement and education. This position also focuses on inspecting and certifying school buses for safety, and auditing inspection facilities.
What our team has to say…
“It’s about belonging to a great team! It’s also about working for a great organization, being able to learn and work together, and helping one another when one of our members needs guidance. Most of all, it’s about having fun doing our job.”
– Jose Cordeiro, Area Vehicle Inspector, Prince George
“I think the thing that I enjoy the most is the sense of belonging to a team of dedicated men and women that are passionate about making a difference and keeping highways safer.”
– Terry Deacon, Senior Supervising Area Vehicle Inspector, Prince George
Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer
On the job: A Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer enforces compliance with the acts, regulations and standards that govern the road transportation industry, protecting travellers and infrastructure. Within the assigned area (there are openings from Vancouver Island to Northern BC) the position monitors roadways, operates inspection stations (stationary, portable and mobile) and conducts mechanical and safety checks on commercial vehicles. The officer also issues warnings and prosecution notices, and may delay or detain vehicles and/or drivers.
What our team has to say…
“I enjoy being part of the CVSE team because it is an exciting and diverse career with an outstanding work/life balance. I face new challenges every day, and feel proud of the fact that my job helps to keep the highways safer.”
– Jesse Giesbrecht, Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer, Vernon
“I like the opportunities it offers, working with different people, working in different geographical locations, and the flexibility that comes with it.”
– Duane Gill, Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer, Prince George
“I enjoy the comradery within the CVSE team and the challenge of working with industry to ensure compliance and safety on the highways.”
– Betty-Ann Penner, Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer, Prince George
“What do I love best about working for CVSE? That’s easy… I have the opportunity to positively affect public road safety by removing unsafe vehicles from the highway and by changing driver behaviours. This makes it safer for everybody using our highways.”
– Bernie Bolton, Commercial Transport Inspector, Kamloops
“I really enjoy making a tangible contribution to road safety, be it inspecting a truck and proactively finding a problem before it becomes an incident, or stopping aggressive drivers. We are a close knit group, and I have met some of the nicest and most dedicated professionals in my service with CVSE. Our client base also makes for an interesting and often pleasant work experience as the majority of drivers are hard-working people who, for the most part, are appreciative of our contributions in making their workplace safer and keeping an even playing field for their industry.”
– Toni Kristinsson, Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer, Tete Jaune Cache Inspection Station
Carrier Safety Inspector
On the job: A Carrier Safety Inspector independently resolves complex problems and applies decisions that significantly impact peoples’ lives and businesses by monitoring carriers and drivers to ensure compliance with the National Safety Code Program. As part of the monitoring process, CSI’s conduct investigations, interviews, inspections and quantifiable audits in accordance with national standards, and also provide training and seminars to industry and partner agencies.
We need skilled people to join our CVSE ranks across BC, including the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Southern Interior, and the north. Do you think you have the abilities and drive to help keep our roads safer?
Please apply online by November 26, 2014. If you have any questions, please feel free to use the comments section below.
I have been lucky enough to have been invited to attend an assessment. I am wondering what I should prepare for. They mention a “project” in which there is a 2 hour time limit. No information as to the content though. Should I be studying Airbrake? MVAR? Is it general knowledge and aptitude that I cannot study for? Any information would be helpful…Thank you!
Hi Jim,
Congratulations! Unfortunately, we don’t know. We suggest you reach out to the person who invited you for more details. Good luck!

hi there I’m currently looking to see if CVSE is hiring for the coming year in the lower mainland by any chance I’m currently looking for a career change if there is an opportunity available.

You should tell that officer at 100 Mile House to stop wearing baton and handcuffs (has a pepper spray pouch, but not sure if there is spray in it).
Also, I see him stopping cars for speeding. I am familiar with the CVSA OOS criteria which I am pretty sure does not apply to vehicles licensed less than 5,000 Kg.
Hi Isack,
Thanks for your comments and concerns about CVSE officers.
CVSE officers do not carry or use items such as batons, pepper spray or handcuffs. An officer may choose to wear a duty belt equipped with pouches of various sizes and shapes to safely store the many tools which are required to do their job effectively and can resemble the carrying cases of the items which you mentioned. These pouches contain tools such as flashlights, seat belt cutters, first aid supplies, multi-tools and gloves.
As Peace Officers in British Columbia, CVSE officers have the authority to enforce the Motor Vehicle Act which applies to all vehicles on our public roads. CVSE’s primary focus is to ensure the safe operation of commercial vehicles, however occasionally it is necessary to interact with a smaller vehicle to ensure public safety for all road users.
Actually, I’m an experienced law enforcement officer. I am familiar with batons, handcuffs and pepper spray. I know what it looks like, I am not stupid. I have also carried that equipment myself.
Considering I have seen his duty belt up close, I can say with confidence it’s baton, OC, and handcuffs. Doesn’t help that he probably got his belt from an ex-mountie.

Hi Shaw,
I checked with one of our CVSE people about the requirements for Area Vehicle Inspectors/Commercial Transport Inspectors, which I believe are entry-level positions.
I was told they are included in the answer I provided to you earlier today, with the exception of the paragraph and job description that focused on the work of a Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer.
Best wishes on your career quest!
Hello,
Ive applied for the last Commercial Transport Enforcement Officer position, and I was just wondering on average how long it takes for candidates to be notified if they have our have not been selected to continue and how long it takes on average for the successful candidate to receive an offer.
Thank you very much!
Hi Clayton,
The time it takes really depends, depending on the number of applicants, the workload of the hiring panel, etc. Do you have the name of the hiring manager? You could try to connect with them and see where they are at in their process?
What kind of hours do CVSE employees work? Is it rotating shifts? Are you given options for shift choices if hired?
Hi Melanie,
Good question! Is there a specific job with the CVSE you are interested in?
Where do I go to school to become a CVSE? Google keeps pointing me to Alberta. ☺
Hi Rose,
It depends on what you role you would like with the CVSE. Here’s a page we put together outlining some basic requirements and other specifics, depending on the role you would be interested in. We would encourage you to find schools that offer specific training in BC, as that would cut down on the chances of having to verify qualifications inter-provincially. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/careers-myhr/job-seekers/featured-careers/cvse
Hello
What is the hiring outlook for CVSE in 2018. Will there be any mass hiring? It seems like the majority of the 2017 postings all went to internal applicants.
Thanks
Hello Clint,
At this time there are no plans for a bulk hire in 2018. We encourage you to continue to check with the Employment Opportunities page for external positions as they come available. Good luck!

Hi
I am wondering if there is any position open for CVSE and accepting application
Thank you
Hi Apo,
Information about employment at CVSE is available here:
http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/careers-myhr/job-seekers/featured-careers/cvse
It includes How to Apply and Current Job Postings links at top right of the page.
I was told job shadowing was out of the question due to privacy concerns at my local CVSE station? Is this different region to region? Because I would really love a chance to shadowy an officer and see what is really involved day to day.
Hi Clint,
We generally do allow job shadowing, and can limit access to personal information. What station did you communicate with?
The weigh station I inquired about is in Quesnel.
Thanks Clint,
Best if you connect again directly with the local CVSE manager about this. Here is the contact information: http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/vehicle-safety-enforcement/information-education/contacts/district-contacts
Hope that this helps!
Thank you
Hi;
I have been applying for positions with CVSE for a couple of months now ( including writing the online exam for one position – unsuccessful ) . I also have been doing a few days of job shadowing and am currently in touch with the new supervisor in my local area to further my knowledge and do further shadowing and ride along . I have also ordered a hard copy of the Vehicle Safety and Inspection Standards Legislation Manuel to study at home . I meet the qualifications for a position and have 30 years experience as a log truck driver . My question is : does CVSE prefer to hire younger applicants over someone my age ( 54 ) ? I have been interested in joining CVSE for several years but just recently ( January 2017 ) got serious about applying . Also , do you have any advise as to any further training I could do on my own to better my chances of gaining employment with CVSE .Thank you for any information or help you can supply .
Hi Mike,
We have sent your question to the CVSE. Stay tuned!
Hi Mike,
We spoke with the CVSE who told us that general learning/experience that leads to success are skills involving reading comprehension, decision making, written and verbal communication, conflict resolution and self-control, problem solving, being able to work in a team environment and the demonstrated ability to read and apply legislative or compliance related material.
This is beyond the standard experience in road transportation and/or enforcement that may initially get a person in the door for testing, but our hiring processes are highly competitive and the above noted competencies are of significant importance.
Age is not a considering factor, other than being of minimum age to work in the public service. We’ve hired officers from early 20’s to late 50’s.
For contact, you are best to continue with local contact with the district or region you already have initiated.
Hope that this helps!
Thank you , I will look into what is expected for the competencies and see what I can find to learn more .
Curious if there will be any Hirings any time soon. I am really interested in a career with the CVSE!

Hello there,
I see that CVSE recruiters will be attending the open house that the JIBC is hosting tomorrow. I would love to attend an event like this but due to my location in Golden it is not possible, are there other ways to connect with a recruiter outside of these types of events?

I look forward to hearing from them, thank you for your time and help 🙂
Glad to help!
Hello
What does the hiring outlook for Commercial Transport Enforcement Officers look like for 2016? Are there going to be many postings? I’ve heard there will only be job cuts and will only be hiring to replace if quitting/retirement happens. Thanks

Hello
Just wondering when CVSE might be hiring CTEO’s again? Will there be any postings in 2015. I had applied for a couple positions, but the postings were cancelled. Any knowledge of postings? Thanks
Hello Clint,
Thanks for connecting with us here! The bulk hire which happened late last year was very successful, so there may be an interest in running a batch recruitment annually. We suggest checking back in the fall. Otherwise, our regions/districts post their positions as they have vacancies which they need to fill. You can check the BC government employment opportunities page for that: https://search.employment.gov.bc.ca/cgi-bin/a/alljobs.cgi
You might find the CVSE employment page useful: https://search.employment.gov.bc.ca/cgi-bin/a/alljobs.cgi

Hello there.

Thanks.
Hello!
Thanks for connecting with us here.

What are the requirement for the jobs. Do i need any university experience
Hi Bob,
Thanks for your interest in the CVSE. This competition is now closed. The minimum education requirement was high school graduation, not university.
Hey there, I am quite interested in becoming a CVSE inspector and was wondering if there is a way to find out if applications are still being accepted? Also wondering if there is a office or branch I can call to “shadow” an inspector to confirm that this is going to be the right career for me? Any help would be great! Thank you.

Hi TranBC,
Been interested in this for quite awhile and woul definitely like to apply later on down the road opportunity presents itself again. I am sort of quizzicle about something, though. CVSE Officers do a wide range of work and take part in a variety of road safety initiatives. Having said that, I was told by an officer that radar for catching speeders isn’t mandatory training and only certain officers get it. If that is true, why? Does catching drivers unsafe commercial drivers who aggressively speed and endanger other road users not matter to the CVSE?
Hi Chad,
While many of our officers are trained and certified for speed enforcement, not 100% of all CVSE officers are; This is generally because of the different type of work done by each type of officer. Our investigational and auditing based officers generally do not, nor do inspectors that do not operate our patrol vehicles or work roadside on a regular basis. Speed enforcement, along with enforcement other driver behaviour offences, are mainly focused on the work units that spend the majority of their time out on the highways, conducting roadside enforcement on a regular basis. While there are the odd exceptions, that’s the situation across the province. Similarly, only some of our officers receive specialized auditor training, but only those that conduct compliance audits as part of their daily duties.
Hope that this helps! Thank you for connecting with us here.

There’s a few steps in the hiring process and as for the number of positions, that’s being determined through the process. I’ll have someone follow up with you through your email.
What can I expect to find on the testing stage?
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your question. In the testing state, one can expect:
• A written test that will check your knowledge skills and abilities as they relate to this line of work
• Some behavioral and traditional type questions that will allow you to demonstrate your past work experiences
• A physical demonstration of your ability to crawl, climb and maneuver your way around large commercial vehicle during a mechanical inspection.
I hope that answers your question.
