The City of Grande Prairie is hiring for four full-time positions, with applications closing on June 26, 2026. The openings include a permanent Finance & Budget Coordinator, a permanent Logistics Worker II, a temporary Box Office Lead, and a temporary Aquatic Supervisor.
These roles are part of 15 active job postings currently listed on the City’s website, but they share the same deadline later this month. Job seekers looking for municipal work can apply online before the end of June.
The hiring push comes as the Athabasca-Grande Prairie-Peace River region holds one of the lowest unemployment rates in Alberta at 4.9 percent as of May 2026, according to Statistics Canada. This means the city may face competition finding qualified candidates, especially for supervisory and finance roles.
The temporary Aquatic Supervisor position supports the Eastlink Centre, a major recreation hub that welcomes over 140,000 aquatic visitors each year. The city is also offering a $500 incentive to help new hires in aquatics cover certification costs as part of the Aquatics New Hire Incentive Program.
The 2026 City budget, approved with a 4.34 percent tax increase, aims to maintain services like recreation and finance while managing inflation and other cost pressures. These new positions align with that goal, helping to support community facilities and municipal operations.
