How you'll work at Blackbird

Prep For Retirement

We offer a group RRSP with a match to all our full-time employees. You can put up to 5 % of your pre-tax wages into it, and Blackbird matches your contributions. We’ve set the Group Retirement Savings Plan up with a range of passively managed, low-cost investment options. Trust us, you’ll like it.

Up your game

We’re serious about helping you improve your craft, and you’ll have an annual budget of $2,400 to spend however you like on professional development. Think conferences, online or in-person courses, subscriptions… it’s really up to you. We love to see our people growing.

Your first eight weeks

We onboard slowly to really give you a chance to not only understand how we do things, but also why. During your first eight weeks, we’ll pepper you with training and feedback while you learn the ins and outs of your new role. You will have a mentor and there will be lots of internal and external training.

Life in the BC Peace Region

We’re working out of one office in Fort St. John, and we’d like you to live somewhere nearby. Proximity often doesn’t influence productivity (and we have great remote work infrastructure), but some position require a bit of fieldwork and all involve hands-on learning from other professionals. We’re home every night, most of the time.

Take. Your. Vacation!

It’s important to get plenty of downtime to get out and do something. We offer 6% of your earned wages as paid time off for all full-time employees. Sounds complicated, but this essentially means a minimum of three weeks of paid vacation, plus you make more vacation time if you work overtime (which may happen sometimes, though not excessively).

No Crazy Hours

We sometimes work over 40 hours a week, but it’s not super common. There have been a few occasions where things got a little crazy and people had to put some extra time in. But then they got paid great overtime or took some extra time off, so it all balances out. We work hard and smart but we’re in this for the long haul, no need to go crazy on the hours.
