Winnipeg projects completed Key markets Current employment, nearly Value of Winnipeg projects, almost $5.5 billion 500 PCL's Winnipeg district benefits from strong brand recognition. The company is proud to be an innovator where young professionals can cut their teeth at a place renowned for doing things the right way. From the 30-plus interns PCL hires annually to the fresh- out-of-school newbies looking for their first real gig, their seasoned veterans and proven processes combine to form a powerful draw for new recruits. Conversations with Manitoba's Indigenous communities convinced PCL to take their advice by trying to attract talent even sooner. That's why PCL's Winnipeg district is partnering with Southeast Collegiate, the only school of its kind in Canada, to serve First Nations students. Select collegiate faculty, together with PCL's Indigenous relations and human resources managers, have tailored an existing program to introduce students to the construction industry beginning in September 2019. For those in mid-career mode, a move to PCL offers the chance to make an impact at a company famed for tackling complex projects. With a support structure totaling more than 4,000 North American colleagues and a well-defined path to advancement, PCL ensures these experienced specialists are empowered with a sense of project ownership that lets them showcase their strengths while providing ongoing learning. On the retention side, PCL ups the ante as a 100 percent employee-owned company focused on promoting talent from within. PCL offers employees multiple ways to contribute to a respectful and rewarding workplace culture. Professional development opportunities are encouraged, and various in-house committees mean everyone can participate in something that aligns with their interests. Coupled with competitive compensation packages that can include annual bonuses based on position and merit, PCL's popular shareholder program becomes increasingly attractive the longer an employee remains at the company. Aside from enticing perks and the chance to transfer to and from Winnipeg as personal and professional goals dictate, perhaps it all comes down to this (as one PCLer puts it): "We get to build really cool stuff." PCL Building Winnipeg together "As a woman new to managing one of PCL's most respected districts, I appreciate the value of promoting diversity and inclusion in our profession. I'm proud to work for a company fighting hard today to make the kind of talent attraction and retention changes that will be obvious to future generations ."
