The City of Sarnia, Ontario, is looking to fill a permanent engineering role and hire up to 10 temporary part-time crossing guards, with applications now open through the Sarnia Lambton Workforce Development Board.
The full-time Municipal Engineering Specialist position falls within the Design & Infrastructure arm of the city’s Engineering and Operations Division. The successful candidate will join CUPE Local 3690 with an annual salary range of $65,902.20 to $101,374.00. The division handles the design and construction of roads, sewers, waterlines, and related works, along with repairs, signage, and traffic signals.
At the same time, the city needs crossing guards to work split shifts of up to 15 hours per week. The temporary part-time jobs pay $20.44 per hour, with up to 10 openings available. Both the engineering specialist and the crossing guard positions fall under CUPE Local 3690. The local represents 113 administrative and technical staff and recently secured a three-year contract with 3.2 per cent annual wage increases through December 31, 2026.
The crossing guard posting on the SLWDB website directs applicants to apply through Lambton College Community Employment Services, while the engineering specialist application is also available on the board’s site. The city says positions will remain open until filled.
School crossing guards play a vital safety role at busy intersections, wearing reflective clothing and using stop signs and whistles to guide elementary students across roads.
