How Do You Spell a Great Job Opportunity? TELP!

It’s that time again –  TELP time!

What’s TELP you ask?

It’s our Transportation Entry Level Program, or TELP. Previously known as the Technical Entry Level Program, this opportunity is your pathway to a fulfilling transportation career in the BC Public Service.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure delivers a wide range of transportation services to the citizens of British Columbia and we’re looking for creative and innovative individuals who enjoy working on unique and challenging projects to help us deliver them.

Whether you’re overseeing construction and maintenance, working with IT systems, approving developments near our infrastructure or consulting with First Nations – your work will contribute to the safety, reliability and improvement of our infrastructure. From day one, you’ll be able to see how your work directly impacts the lives of British Columbians.
