The City of Colwood, British Columbia, is moving forward with its plan to hire new staff to help maintain local infrastructure. As of March 4, 2026, the city has started reviewing applications for two road and utility worker positions that will support the upkeep of community streets and services.

The City of Colwood recently looked for applicants for two roles specifically focused on roads and utilities. One of these positions is a permanent full-time job, while the other is a temporary role designed to help with specific city projects or seasonal work.

These workers are responsible for essential tasks like repairing roads and maintaining city drainage systems. Both positions are part of the CUPE 374 union, which represents the majority of the city’s workforce of about 120 people.

The application period for these jobs ended on February 23, 2026. City staff are now in the screening stage of the hiring process, which involves checking the qualifications of the people who applied to ensure they are the right fit for the maintenance team.
