About the job
As a Corridor Management Officer, you are the ministry’s “one window” for reviewing and approving work near provincial highways.

- reviewing and processing permit applications for work near provincial highways, ensuring proposals meet safety, design, and legislative requirements
- conducting site visits and corridor patrols to check for compliance, identify unauthorized work or encroachments, and work with applicants to resolve issues
- coordinating utility relocations for ministry construction projects by reviewing plans, resolving conflicts, issuing Move Orders, and tracking timelines and costs
- providing clear guidance to property owners, municipalities, utilities, developers, and the public as the ministry’s primary point of contact for corridor-related inquiries
- working with technical teams across the ministry to review proposals, share information, and support consistent, well-informed decisions
- managing a high volume of permits, inquiries, and meetings by prioritizing workload and maintaining well-organized digital records
- using digital mapping and permit management tools to review applications and support sound corridor planning
