The City of Spruce Grove is accepting applications for six full-time municipal positions, with deadlines fast approaching between August 18 and August 27, 2026. The jobs span public works, planning, human resources, and information systems, reflecting the growing demand for services in Alberta’s fastest-growing Edmonton-region municipality.

Openings include Manager of Planning, Development Planner II, Operator – Drainage Dig Crew/Roads, Maintenance Worker – Parks and Open Spaces, Human Resources Business Partner, and Supervisor of GIS. Complete details and application links are posted on the City of Spruce Grove careers page.

Spruce Grove’s population reached 44,575 in 2025, up 5,507 residents or 14.6 percent from 2021, which drives ongoing demand for planning, infrastructure, and public works staff. The city’s industrial parks are home to more than 250 businesses, and the City-owned South Century Industrial Park has only two lots remaining, pointing to continued development pressure.

The hiring wave comes as Alberta faces skilled labour shortages. A provincial outlook projected a shortfall of 8,000 to 11,000 workers in 2025, with skills gaps expected to persist into 2026. Municipalities like Spruce Grove are competing for qualified candidates across technical, professional, and trades roles.

Applicants must submit their materials online before each posting’s closing time. The Manager of Planning and Drainage Dig Crew/Roads Operator positions close first on August 18, while the Development Planner II closes August 21, the Human Resources Business Partner closes August 24, and the Maintenance Worker and GIS Supervisor close August 27.
