Government & Admin
Civil, electrical, mechanical, and software engineers in public sector utilities, transit, and government.
These are total earnings actually disclosed — including overtime, shift premiums and retroactive pay, not base salary. Each province only publishes public-sector staff earning above a set threshold (Ontario $100,000, BC $75,000, Manitoba $85,000, Alberta ~$155,176), so anyone paid less is excluded and the averages skew high — most of all for roles whose standard pay sits near that threshold.
What the collective-agreement wage grid actually pays, before overtime — the disclosed averages above are not base salary.

Looking for a specific person or employer?
A standard working Professional Engineer level (the rung tied to full P.Eng. registration, above graduate/EIT) at each province’s public service. Grid structures differ, so levels are only approximately equivalent. Ontario omitted — the current PEGO schedule is not published.
