Build Your World, Build Your Career …
V3 Companies believes in development by providing you with an environment to enhance your professional growth and in transforming the world around us for the better. Our name reflects that commitment to you and those who live, work and play in the special places we help to create: Visio, Vertere, Virtute – The Vision to Transform with Excellence.
We are a fast-growing firm with offices located throughout the US and Canada. Our Sherwood Park office currently engages in a range of planning, land and site development, municipal infrastructure improvement, and transportation projects throughout Alberta and other western Provinces. We believe that the worst thing is to pigeonhole talent. Instead, we prefer to provide the means for you to align your personal career goals with the professional opportunities we offer.
Here’s how you fit into the V3 Team:
V3’s approach is to identify well‐rounded individuals who are interested in both performing design‐oriented tasks, and serving as a resident engineer on construction projects. Because we believe that new civil design engineers gain the most valuable experience when they see first‐hand how their team’s designs perform in the real‐world, you can expect to spend the first few years with us in this hybrid role working primarily on-site during construction season, and in the office in the winter months. In order to provide well-rounded training opportunities, especially in the early stages of your career, we believe it is valuable to provide experience across our service lines. This could mean working on projects in both our Transportation & Municipal Engineering Group, and in our Land Development Group. Transportation & Municipal Engineering involves working on urban and rural roadway projects, underground infrastructure rehabilitation, and rural servicing projects across Central and Northern Alberta. In the Land Development Group, projects include greenfield land and site developments for all residential, commercial, and industrial markets.

What more can we tell you?
Our newly-renovated office is located on the western edge of Sherwood Park, close to Anthony Henday Drive and about 20 minutes from downtown Edmonton. Our projects that you’d be engaged in typically are built in and around Edmonton and other northern Alberta municipalities, although we do support our Saskatchewan effort from the Sherwood Park office.
The job features competitive pay and paid time off and a comprehensive benefits package. However, we think a real difference maker is our collegial team-based environment and the opportunity for you to not get typecast into one role or one type of project.
By now, you’re probably wondering what’s important to us…
We wouldn’t have been named to the Top 5 list of North America’s Best Architecture/Engineering Firm to Work For without a passionate focus on our people. Because our Project Managers play such an important part in defining who we are, we place a premium on character and cultural fit. Our website clearly communicates how much we value our team. As a consulting firm entrusted by our clients to provide solutions and quality advice, we’re only as good as each member of our combined team. Our win‐win scenario is when you’re as happy working with us, as we are in calling you our friend and teammate.
