Awarded as a Top Employer: Inter Pipeline among Canada’s and Alberta’s Best

For a fourth year in a row, Inter Pipeline has been named as one of Canada’s Top Employers, while also being recognized as one of Alberta’s Top Employers for an eleventh consecutive year. These special designations highlight employers at the forefront of their industries, known for providing strong and healthy workplace environments.

Top Employers Selection Criteria

Since the inception of the Top Employers project in 1999, the selection criteria used by the editors for both the provincial and federal designations have remained the same. The criteria consist of an assessment of:

• Physical workplace

• Health, financial & family benefits
• Vacation & time off

• Training & skills development
• Community involvement

“Starting as a summer student at Inter Pipeline gave me the opportunity to learn, grow, and discover a career path that excites me,” says Kevin Reding, Senior Analyst, Commercial, Facilities Infrastructure. “The support and mentorship I received were invaluable, and the opportunities to take on meaningful work made me want to continue my journey here. Inter Pipeline’s commitment to career development are key reasons I chose to build my career with this company.”
