We're passionate about delivering great results

Since 1975, Urban Systems has been attracting some of the best talent in our fields of practice.   Why?  Because we’ve always known that our people are what make the difference between being good and being great.  At Urban Systems we have been putting people before profits long before it was the “fashionable” thing to do.  We take great care in hiring the right people - those who share our passion, vision and values -  and then providing a work environment where they will thrive.  This type of healthy work environment naturally translates into excellent results for our clients.

In order to achieve our vision of being the workplace of choice within our industry, we have developed a solid people strategy that focuses on engagement, teamwork, career growth, personal excellence, leadership and generosity.  In today's competitive marketplace we know that our people can never be taken for granted.  Our efforts on the people front have received national accolades:

• Best Workplaces in Canada (2007 & 2006), Canadian Business magazine
• Richard Yerema’s list of Top 100 Employers in Canada (2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004) as featured in MacLean's magazine
• British Columbia’s Top 30 Employers (2007, 2006), as featured in the Vancouver Sun and Province newspapers

While we are grateful for these acknowledgements we remain humble about our success. Despite being in business for over 30 years, we would never want to suggest that we have arrived or that we have all the answers. We have high ideals with respect to all aspects of our business, including our work environment, and will continue to work hard to make progress toward our vision, realizing that success is a journey, not a destination.
