Bette-Jo Hughes: "The B.C. Government is transforming, and we need IT professionals at all levels to help us enable that transformation. But it’s not just about the technology, it’s about looking at ways we can improve the delivery of services to citizens and businesses across the province and transform the way our employees work.
"I’m Betty-Jo Hughes and I’m the government’s Chief Information Officer.
"The BC Public Service is hiring and we're looking for the best and brightest IT professionals to help us build our team.
"There are many benefits to working in the BC Public Service. We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package and a family-friendly environment. We support the ongoing education and development of our employees, and you have an opportunity for incredible career progression across a broad range of sectors — things like vendor management, service delivery, security, privacy, identity management — whatever your interest, we’ve got a job for you.
"In the BC Public Service, we see work as something that you do, rather than somewhere that you go. So we provide the technologies and tools in a collaborative environment to allow you to work where it works for you.
"We’re looking for great people to join our amazing team. Technology in government is changing, and we need you to come with your creative ideas to work with the technology to improve the way that we deliver services to the citizens of British Columbia."
From strategy and design to operations and service delivery, IT careers with the BC Public Service provide interesting work and the potential for career growth. Opportunities range from fast-paced projects to essential operational positions in every ministry in government.
It’s about more than technology—we’re doing things differently.
When you picked up your new driver’s license, you also picked up your Medical Services Plan, identity, fraud prevention, and access card at the same time—the technology that makes that possible was designed and implemented by public servants.
From consulting with citizens on topics that matter to them, such as the creation of BC Family Day in February, to enabling high-speed internet service throughout the province, our employees use their experience in user experience design, coding, network traffic monitoring, project management, and other valuable skills to help transform how we deliver government services to all British Columbians.
