BC Hydro has more than 50 positions open in the Lower Mainland, Daily Hive said, covering skilled trades, engineering, administration and technology. Metro Vancouver, the regional district that manages the area's utilities and services, also has openings in administrative and utility roles.

The Vancouver Police Department is recruiting for police officer positions. The VPD's own recruiting page lists a starting salary of $93,690 a year, growing to $133,847 within four years. The page also lists a pension, extended benefits and gym access among the benefits. The VPD is a City of Vancouver employer and positions are based in the city.

The Vancouver Aquarium has full-time and part-time roles open, including a marine mammal curator, kitchen stewards and an IT manager. The Vancouver Public Library, which Daily Hive described as Canada's third-largest public library system serving 428,000 people, is hiring a library services assistant, a teen services librarian, an accounts payable and receivable clerk and a safety coordinator.

Amazon began hiring 9,000 seasonal positions across Canada in October, running through December, Daily Hive said. The roles are in fulfillment centres, sortation centres and delivery stations. The company told Daily Hive those temporary roles could become permanent full-time positions. Daily Hive's report does not give a Vancouver-specific count for Amazon.
