The environment

Physical environment

Our office is located at 79 Wellington Street W, Toronto, just steps from Union Station, surrounded by great dining and transit options.

At BOF, we believe in-person collaboration supports the delivery of high-quality programs and services to the people of Ontario, and that being present in the workplace ensures responsiveness, accessibility, and accountability to the public, and strengthens our team culture. As such, and as part of the Ontario Public Service, the BOF requires employees to work in-office five (5) days per week. However, we recognize that flexibility is important, and we offer accommodations and flexible arrangements on a case-by-case basis for health, accessibility, family, or other protected needs, as required by the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Cultural environment

At BOF, we believe in and strive to foster a transparent, inclusive, and collaborative work environment where:

• team members at all levels are kept in the loop on what’s going on, both within and outside of their functional areas;

• The expected salary for this role is CA$115,000 for candidates who meet the stated qualifications, with the potential for up to CA$120,000 for candidates whose experience and qualifications exceed the requirements and would provide significant additional value to the role.

A retirement plan that’s built to last

We offer something most private employers no longer do: a guaranteed, inflation-protected pension for life.

As a member of the Ontario Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP):

• BOF matches your contributions dollar-for-dollar — meaning you’re effectively receiving an additional ~9-11% of your salary in long-term value (depending on your earnings).
• This is a defined benefit pension — not a group RRSP or market-based plan. Your retirement income is predictable, secure, and indexed to inflation.
• It includes early retirement options, survivor benefits, and is backed by the Government of Ontario.

• Access to an Employee Family Assistance Plan (EFAP) to help you and your family find solutions for a wide range of life’s challenges in areas such as fitness and physical health, mental health, relationships, nutrition, finances, elder care, and legal services.
• Time to recharge – we believe in balance. That’s why we offer:
  • 4 weeks of vacation per calendar year to start (5 for people leaders)
  • 13 paid statutory holidays
  • Paid sick leave — because life happens; 6 days per year at 100% of salary, and up to 124 days at 75% of salary

A career that matters

At BOF, your work directly contributes to building Ontario’s future. You’ll be part of a team that’s shaping infrastructure projects with lasting public impact — and you’ll grow your skills, your network, and your sense of purpose along the way.
