YVR is hiring and you could work 37.5 hours/week and make $125K/year

Always wanted to fly higher in your career? Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is on the lookout to onboard tons of new roles, and while we can’t guarantee landing these gigs at one of BC’s top employers will get you in the pilot’s chair, it could at least raise your position financially if you qualify. 

Plus it comes with some pretty sweet incentives beyond the salary itself.

“Your work experience goes beyond the paycheck,” the company writes on its latest job postings.  “We support your personal and professional development, well-being, and a thriving work culture with generous vacation days, extensive health benefits, retirement savings matching, wellness programs, community engagement, commuting support, and continuous learning opportunities.”

Here are some examples of open positions:

Senior technical analyst

Salary range: $97,599 to $127,555 per year

If you land this gig, you could make up more than $127,000 based on 37.5 hours per week as a senior technical analyst and business intelligence developer within the IT department. You will need to have a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a similar education, plus 10 years of post-degree experience with business intelligence reports.
