Edmonton, Alberta (January 20, 2026) – PCL Construction is thrilled to be named one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People for 2026. This will mark the seventh consecutive year the company has made this prestigious list, selected by the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. 

One of PCL Construction’s core priorities is investing in people and their growth at every stage of their career. This means creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders, offering valuable resources for learning and development, and building a strong, diverse and adaptable workforce for today and for the future. 

PCL fills more than 1,000 student placements every year between its 30 offices in major centres around the world. Students have the chance to move between those offices and gain valuable experience through the company’s mobility program. A new, revamped career development program gives employees a clear picture of where they fit in the organization and what the road ahead could look like. 

“From day one, young employees get hands-on experience with tools and techniques they might only have read about at school. This gives them a head start on their construction careers,” says Harmony Carter, PCL’s vice president, people and culture. “We supplement that with mentorship and training opportunities to help them reach their potential. And we work hard to ensure students who perform well have a full-time job offer waiting when they graduate.”

The Canada’s Top 100 Employers project is a national competition to determine the employers with the best workplaces. It recognizes industry-leading employers who offer exceptional workplaces for their employees. Employers are evaluated using eight criteria: physical workplace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; professional development programs; and community involvement. 

The full list of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People for 2025 is published in a special feature in the Globe and Mail. Additional employer information can be found on Eluta.ca.
