Attention, job searchers! Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is hiring for over 20 jobs across its departments right now, and one of them might just have your name on it. With mostly full-time positions available, now is a great time to apply if you’re looking for a solid place to enter the next chapter of your career.

What’s more, the Vancouver Airport Authority is a certified Living Wage Employer, which means all employees are paid at or higher than the designated living wage in BC.

“YVR is a living wage employer and we strive to create an environment to help you reach your full potential, so you have what it takes to help us serve our community.”

Beyond this, the airport offers its employees a range of comprehensive health and wellness benefits, 24/7 access to an onsite fitness centre, financial incentives, time off programs, and perks.
