Oak Bay is a picturesque seaside community located within the Greater Victoria Region, with a population of +18,000. While offering all the amenities of a large metropolitan urban centre, Oak Bay has succeeded in maintaining all the peacefulness and charm of a small town. Residents enjoy an exceptional quality of life, with miles of spectacular West Coast shoreline, brilliant beaches, parks and greenspace, quaint tree-lined streets and vibrant, boutique villages just beyond their doorsteps.

We are seeking dedicated individuals to assist with our annual leaf pickup program during a temporary period from late October through January. Your work will be essential in maintaining public spaces and preparing our streets for the winter season.

Labourers are responsible for routine and varied manual work such as maintenance, repair, construction tasks and other unskilled services. Employees in this class work under close supervision when their work is part of a task or project involving more skilled employees, but may work with little direct supervision, subject to general instruction and checking for routine services and maintenance tasks.

Our ideal candidates have a demonstrated aptitude for construction work in a Public Works environment in addition to a valid and subsisting BC Driver's License. This position is represented by CUPE Local 374.

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a supportive and collaborative work environment, continued career and professional development opportunities, employee engagement events, work-life balance, and a staff membership to the weightroom, fitness classes, skating and pool. An employer of choice, the District of Oak Bay is committed to fostering a culture of empowerment, accountability, and teamwork.
