Outpost Recruitment

Outpost Recruitment is a boutique agency that recruits for construction and engineering roles across Canada. It has been headquartered in downtown Vancouver since 2012, when its founder and CEO, Ruairi Spillane, established it. Spillane had earlier set up Moving2Canada.com, an information website for newcomers to Canada, and the agency draws on that network to find international candidates planning a move to Canada. It says it understands Canadian immigration and finds roles for international candidates as well as local ones.

Its clients include general contractors, engineering consultancies, developers and subcontractors. It supplies professionals for civil, infrastructure, building, industrial, commercial, institutional and high-rise projects. Construction roles include project manager, project coordinator, planner/scheduler, superintendent, field engineer, estimator, bid manager, quantity surveyor and certified safety officer. Engineering roles cover civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and geotechnical disciplines.

The agency recruits for urban and remote projects across Western Canada, from Alberta's oil sands to Regina and Northern BC. It says it has more than 10 years' experience in recruitment, and it does not charge job seekers.
