What we offer

We know that to meet our ambitious goals, our people are the core. We also know that one size does not fit all. That’s why we offer employees a flexible office and home schedule that allows you to find an optimal balance. 

Our employees receive a generous paid time-off package starting with four weeks of vacation, time to cover health and wellness, professional development and close our offices from December 25 to January 1. 

We also offer RRSP matching, parental leave top-ups, extended health and dental benefits and annual professional development funds.

Our core values

At the Pembina Institute, we believe each member of our team plays a critical role in achieving our goals.  

  • We ensure equity but promote individuality.  
  • We lead with curiosity — challenging our own ideas and limiting beliefs, being open to diversity of thought and opinion.  
  • We use evidence-based thinking to inform our recommendations to decision-makers.  
  • We understand that to make long-lasting changes, we need to take a practical approach when collaborating with others.

Our commitment to responsible development, and our “tough, but fair” approach, using research, consulting and convening, gives us credibility with decision-makers whose actions today are setting the direction for the planet.
