Life at Smith + Andersen
Our culture is unique. For us, work is about connecting, collaborating, and finding creative solutions together. Knowledge sharing is part of our everyday culture, where leaders and team members learn from one another, exchange ideas, and explore new approaches in an open, respectful environment. We also make time to connect outside of project work through social and community activities, along with half day Fridays every week, all year long.
A National Team
With offices across Canada, Smith + Andersen offers the opportunity to collaborate with teams and experts from coast to coast while still maintaining a close knit, supportive culture. As careers grow, some employees even explore opportunities in different offices, gaining new experiences, perspectives, and connections along the way.
CO-OP PROGRAM
Our co-op program is an integral part of who we are as a company. Everyone who works with S+A has the opportunity to mentor the leaders of tomorrow, to pass on their knowledge, and to gain new perspectives. All of our teams encourage this level of mentorship – from our engineering teams, to our systems design teams, to our corporate service teams (such as human resources, marketing, and BIM).
“We Empower Employees” is one of Smith + Andersen’s core values.
With offices across Canada, Smith + Andersen offers the opportunity to collaborate with teams and experts from coast to coast while still maintaining a close-knit, supportive culture. As careers grow, some employees even explore opportunities in different offices, gaining new experiences, perspectives, and connections along the way.
We also support organizations like the National Society of Black Engineers, Women in ASHRAE, and Engineers of Tomorrow, while offering scholarships that help address representation gaps in STEM.
“It’s about who we are as a company and where we are as an industry. Unity – not uniformity.”
INCLUSION
We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion within our company (and the industry as a whole). To help turn intent into action, we created four employee-led groups. These committees provide a safe space for diversity, equity, and inclusion topics to be discussed openly and constructively between leaders and staff.
Our employees are our greatest strength.
Supporting the many talented professionals who select our firm as the place to grow their career speaks directly to our core value of empowering employees.
You'll have access to a comprehensive program of employee benefits that assist with healthcare expenses for you and your family. We also offer a group retirement savings plan, which is personalized to fit your unique needs as you plan for the future.
And, because life isn’t all about work, everyone has the option to take Friday afternoons off – every week, all year long – so they can take time for family, friends, hobbies, or just relax.
