Job description

WorkSafeBC’s Occupational Health & Safety Engineering department plays an important role in keeping B.C.’s workplaces safe. Our multidisciplinary team provides technical perspectives and expertise to WorkSafeBC staff who investigate workplace incidents, inspect workplaces, enforce our regulations, and develop new regulations. We also have an important role in “radio frequency coordination” – assigning the radio frequencies and wattages used in tower crane operations and forestry yarding operations. Radio frequency coordination helps prevent radio interference, allowing workers to have clearer, more-reliable communication while performing high-risk work.

We are looking for a student with a passion for wireless communication technology. The main project for this co-op term comprises identifying different forms of wireless communication, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses, and recommending whether new forms of wireless communication should be used in B.C. workplaces.

This is a four-month full-time position starting in January 2027.

Working at WorkSafeBC
We serve the workers and employers across B.C., and we do that best when we're together. It's how we collaborate, learn from one another, and develop our people.

This role is currently designated as having a hybrid work arrangement and is based in our Richmond, BC office.

This is a unionized role and is subject to the provisions of the Collective Agreement between the Workers’ Compensation Board of BC and the Compensation Employees’ Union.

How you’ll make a difference

In this role, you will engage in a real-life project that directly supports our mission to prevent workplace injury, illness, and death in British Columbia. You will partner with a senior engineer to exercise fundamental skills project management, technical research and evaluation, and communication.
