About The Position

BC Ferries operates a vital public service by connecting people, communities, and economies along British Columbia’s west coast. Every sailing supports daily life across the province from commuting to work or school and accessing healthcare to moving goods and staying connected to family and community. We take pride in delivering safe, reliable, and efficient ferry service while acting as responsible stewards of the coastal environment we operate in. As one of BC’s largest marine asset owners, BC Ferries is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and renewal of a complex network of marine and shore-based infrastructure across 47 terminals and multiple works yards up and down the BC coast. This includes delivering a significant capital program focused on renewing and modernizing terminal infrastructure to support safe, reliable, and cost-effective service for generations to come. Following a series of internal promotions, the Terminal Construction department has openings for three full-time project coordinators to join our team to support the planning and deliver of capital infrastructure projects across our terminal network. This is an opportunity to work on projects that are highly visible and impactful, operationally critical, and directly connected to maintaining service to the communities we serve. Project scopes span a wide range of disciplines and complexities, from full berth or component replacements and marine structure life extensions to terminal developments, building upgrades, tenant improvements, and mechanical and electrical systems. Whether marine, civil, or building-focused, these projects directly support the reliability of an essential public transportation system. As a project coordinator in Terminal Construction, you’ll work on the Owner’s team, contributing to challenging projects in live, operational environments. You’ll work with project managers to collaborate with internal partners, consultants, contractors, regulators at all levels, First Nations, and community interest holders, balancing technical delivery with public accountability and real-world operational needs. You’ll be trusted to help plan and deliver complex work, solve problems creatively, and make decisions that have a tangible impact on safety, service continuity, and community connection across coastal BC. If you’re motivated by public service, enjoy working on complex infrastructure, and want your work to have lasting impact beyond the project close-out, this is a role where your work truly matters. “Never the same day twice” is an accurate reflection of what you can expect when you join the BC Ferries Terminal Construction team.
