Labourer
Regular Full-Time ($30.52/hour 2024 Rates) Pay Grade 1 – 4 Available Positions
Located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən Peoples, notably the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, the District of Oak Bay is committed to recognizing and celebrating their historic and ongoing connection to these lands and waters.
The District of 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.
The Engineering and Public Works Department is hiring four Labourers to support essential infrastructure work - from construction projects, to assisting with roads and concrete projects and more. This is a hands-on role that offers the chance to work outdoors, build practical skills, and see the direct impact of your efforts across the municipality. If you enjoy physical work, variety, and being part of a team that makes a visible difference every day, we encourage you to apply!
The Labourer performs routine and varied manual work involving maintenance, repair and construction tasks, which can be carried out with no formal training beyond demonstration and orientation on the job. Employees in this class work under close supervision when their work is part of a task or project involving more skilled employees, and may work with little direct supervision, but subject to general instruction and checking, for routine services and maintenance tasks.
Our ideal candidate has a demonstrated aptitude for construction and maintenance work in a Public Works or Parks Service environment and an appropriate 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 and work-life balance. An employer of choice, the District of Oak Bay is committed to fostering a culture of empowerment, accountability, and teamwork.
If your qualifications and experience align with our needs, we want to hear from you! Please apply in confidence by 4:30 p.m. on April 16, 2026.
We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those selected for further consideration will be contacted. If you have been shortlisted and require accommodation throughout the hiring process, we would be pleased to discuss how to best accommodate your needs.
