About Binnie
We began as a civil engineering firm in 1969, but have grown into much more. Though we remain experts at civic infrastructure, we now have a wide range of disciplines, from offices in northern, central, and southern BC.
If you have driven in British Columbia, used tap water or visited a regional park or sports field, you have engaged with our work. We work in communities all over BC and across Canada, offering construction services and highway engineering, traffic planning, land development, urban landscape architecture, parks and recreation facilities, project management, geomatics and land surveying services.
Recent projects include the Alex Fraser Bridge Improvement Project, Translink RapidBus Service, and the BCIT North Campus Infrastructure Project.

Are you creative? You could be a Landscape Architect or Designer.
Are you technical? You could be a Civil Engineer or a CAD Technician.
Are you detail-oriented and people-focused? You could be a Project Manager or a Project Management Technician.
Are you adventurous and outdoorsy? You could be an Engineering Surveyor, a Construction Manager, or an Inspector.
