About the EN-ENG Classification at Canada Revenue Agency
The EN-ENG (Engineering) group at CRA covers professional engineers supporting CRA's facilities, technology infrastructure, and scientific programs. Engineering work at the agency includes building systems engineering for CRA tax centres and headquarters facilities, IT infrastructure engineering for the data centres that run CRA's core systems, and specialized engineering supporting the chemistry, laboratory, and forensic functions in the Scientific Research Directorate. The classification is small at CRA compared to engineering-heavy departments like PSPC or DND.
EN-ENG-01 ($56,527 to $70,103) is a junior engineer-in-training role, typically requiring an accredited engineering degree but not yet a P.Eng. licence. EN-ENG-02 ($70,445 to $85,374) covers engineers with three to five years of post-graduation experience. EN-ENG-03 ($85,100 to $110,760) is the primary working-level engineer position, typically requiring P.Eng. licensure. EN-ENG-04 ($99,973 to $123,941) is a senior engineer level. EN-ENG-05 ($114,639 to $142,611) covers senior specialists and technical leads. EN-ENG-06 ($128,357 to $158,073) is the most senior individual-contributor engineering role at CRA.
EN-ENG falls under the PIPSC Audit, Financial and Scientific (AFS) collective agreement at CRA, which uses different step structures from the TBS-NR (Architecture, Engineering and Land Survey) agreement covering EN positions at Treasury Board core. Federal engineering pay at CRA is broadly competitive with provincial government engineering work but lags private-sector consulting and resource-sector engineering at the senior levels. The compensating factors are the diversity of engineering work at a Schedule V agency, the Public Service Pension Plan, and a hiring pace that has generally remained steadier through cycles than private-sector engineering.
