About the EN Classification
The EN (Engineering) group covers professional engineers working across the federal government in disciplines including civil, mechanical, electrical, environmental, and aerospace engineering. EN employees design and oversee construction of federal infrastructure, manage environmental remediation projects, develop standards and regulations, and provide engineering expertise to support federal programs. Major employers include National Defence, Transport Canada, Public Services and Procurement Canada, and Natural Resources Canada.
EN-ENG covers licensed professional engineers in technical roles. The EN scale ranges from entry-level engineers to senior engineering specialists and managers. EN positions typically require a degree in engineering from an accredited program and, for more senior roles, professional engineering licensure (P.Eng.) from the relevant provincial regulatory body. Federal engineers often work at the intersection of technical design and policy — developing building codes, aviation safety standards, or environmental regulations.
The EN group is represented by PIPSC under the Architecture, Engineering and Land Survey (NR) collective agreement. Federal engineering salaries trail the private sector, particularly for disciplines like software engineering and petroleum engineering where private-sector demand drives compensation higher. However, federal engineers enjoy the pension, job security, and the opportunity to work on large-scale public infrastructure — from Arctic research stations to military bases to national highway standards. Many EN positions are based in the National Capital Region, though field positions exist across the country.
