ASPECT Structural Engineers named BC’s Top Employer
Global structural engineering firm is selected to be on a competitive list as part of the “Top 100 Employers” Project.
ASPECT Structural Engineers was included on the 2026 list of BC’s Top Employers, which was announced in a magazine published by MediaCorp Inc. The announcement has since made way to other publications including the Vancouver Sun.
Now in its 21st year, BC’s Top Employers recognizes employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. Applicant employers are evaluated across 8 categories of criteria:
Workplace
Work Atmosphere & Social
Health, Financial & Family Benefits
Vacation & Time Off
Employee Communications
Performance Management
Training & Skills Development
Community Involvement
“Vancouver is where ASPECT started, and this recognition feels especially meaningful as it reflects the people, values, and sense of community we’ve built here from day one."
“The recognition is a testament to the strength of ASPECT’s culture. While we’ve been recognized in the Top Employer project before, this is our first time named as one of BC’s Top Employers,” says Julia Fatkullina, ASPECT’s Senior HR Generalist. “Vancouver is where ASPECT started, and this recognition feels especially meaningful as it reflects the people, values, and sense of community we’ve built here from day one. It reinforces our commitment to creating a workplace where our team feels supported and proud of the work they do.”
The jury identified a number of reasons for ASPECT’s selection including:
Our wellness benefit ($600 to cover costs including gym memberships, ski passes, and fitness classes)
Our career development conversation to help our team define career goals and pathways to achieving them
Our competitive vacation allowance (with paid time off, up to five days during the winter break)
Additional highlights can be found on the Canada’s Top 100 website.

About ASPECT Structural Engineers
ASPECT Structural Engineers is a globally acclaimed, full-service structural engineering firm. Founded in 2016, we are now a cohesive team of more than 60 engineers, fabrication designers, technicians, and support staff. Through thoughtful yet pragmatic design practices and rigorous training, the engineers and designers at ASPECT understand not only their role in contributing to a project, but also how to support the roles of others.
Many members of the ASPECT team started their careers in other disciplines, pulling from their experience working with carpenters, contractors, suppliers, or architects to contribute to a wider understanding of the value that structural engineers can bring to a project. Our team-based approach focuses on better design, improved constructability, and unwavering accountability.
From the beginning, ASPECT has been driven by the importance of true sustainability, underscoring our commitment to understanding, and educating others on the benefits of, mass timber. Beyond producing award-winning structural engineering work for everything from office buildings, to bridges, to custom homes, we also dedicate a substantial amount of time to working with other industry leaders – industry suppliers, architects, and clients – to work through new ways to design and build for the future. Our diverse team is active in markets around the world, with dedicated offices in Canada (Vancouver and Toronto), and Switzerland (Bern).
