District-of-Squamish

My experience working for the District of Squamish was extremely disappointing. The organization suffers from weak leadership, poor communication, and inconsistent expectations. More concerning, there is a noticeable lack of integrity at multiple levels of the organization. Policies and values are often promoted publicly but not upheld internally, which erodes trust and credibility.

Decisions felt arbitrary and, at times, contradictory. Employees were expected to adapt without proper guidance or transparency, and accountability was rarely applied to leadership. When concerns were raised, they were often ignored, deflected, or handled in a way that lacked fairness and honesty.

The workplace culture was stressful and unsupportive, with little regard for employee well-being. Morale was low, burnout was common, and there was minimal effort to address systemic issues.

I would strongly caution anyone considering employment with the District of Squamish to thoroughly research the organization, ask pointed questions during the interview process, and speak with current or former employees. Unfortunately, this was not an environment that aligned with professionalism, integrity, or respect for staff.

This is a very challenging position.  SCADA is a multifacited technology.
Daily work includes installation or replacement of radio infrastructure.  Alos updating SCADA RTU logic, HMI and creating historical graphs and charts for analysis.
There is daily interaction with engineering and opertions departments.
This is a very rewarding position, knowing we are responsible to keep the town water supply safe and available and managing sewage and other utilities.
It is very rewarding to see a project thru to completion.
There are also opportunities to give presentations to other communities about the work we have done.

worked as laborer,promoted to gardener, then to supervisor, equipment operator, truck driver,flagger, greenhouse management, landscape design,landscape inspector, bylaw enforcement , campground maintenance, work with various user groups. fisheries, trails etc.

Could pay better, fun work environment. Good co workers, flexible hours. Can be challenging dealing with the community at times. Work was also genuinely fun in programs
