February 26, 2018, Vancouver, BC, Canada – Knight Piésold Canada has been named as one of BC’s Top Employers for 2018. This annual competition recognizes industry-leading employers in British Columbia that offer exceptional workplaces, and it is the sixth time that we have received this award.

“We are honoured to be ranked among the province’s top employers,” said Ken Embree, Managing Principal. “This award is in celebration of our most valuable asset—our remarkable employees who continue to make Knight Piésold an amazing place to work year after year. It is with their commitment and expertise that we can continue to deliver outstanding services for our clients across British Columbia and around the world.”

The editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers project evaluate employers in their field to determine which offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs. BC’s Top Employers is a special designation awarded to private and public organizations that successfully meet the eight criteria: physical workplace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial, and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement.

"Along with offering best-in-class benefits tailored to employees' individual needs, many of this year's winners offer a relaxed workplace culture that emphasizes healthy, active lifestyles," says Kristina Leung, Senior Editor of the Canada's Top 100 Employers project. "The rest of the country looks to British Columbia for leadership in this field."

At Knight Piésold, fostering an engaging work environment is a key priority in an effort to recruit and retain top professionals in the mining, power, and water resources industries. We are privileged to have very talented people working in our Vancouver and North Bay offices, as well as globally. For more information on this award, visit BC’s Top Employers.
