Professional Development

We keep our people engaged by providing challenging, interesting work and opportunities to enhance their skills. We hire the best people, support and reward them, and help them grow in their careers.

On-the-job development –  Our project teams work on an intriguing mix of projects for a broad range of clients. From small community-focused initiatives, to large and on-going multi-faceted projects, you'll find yourself working with the industry's best technical leaders and specialists.

Career Development Plan – Our annual career development planning process helps our people set clearly defined goals and objectives. Employees have the opportunity to measure their contributions and achievements with their leader through assessments and review. These one-on-one sessions help fine tune individual contributions, establish strategic performance objectives and identify career development and training opportunities.

Training and development – Our world is changing rapidly and we appreciate the need to stay current with the latest industry developments. We support ongoing learning through classroom studies, attendance at relevant events and participation in professional associations. These opportunities help our people in their careers with UMA and beyond.

Global opportunities – During your UMA career, our people may have the opportunity to cross geographical and market sector lines to take on new challenges. With a presence across Canada and our affiliation with the AECOM group of companies worldwide, there are endless opportunities to explore.
