Meet the Team

The GF Way!

Innovation

Driving strategic innovation is critical to our success. Participating in innovation sessions such as Hackathons allows our teams to work collaboratively and provide solutions to real-world technical problems. These events provide our people the opportunity to engage in rapid and collaborative engineering in a focused and time-bound manner.   Presenting project ideas to the entire organization provides the forum to ensure all ideas are heard and promotes collaboration across all areas of the organization.

Work hard, play hard! 

Changing the world takes hard work and dedication. Sometimes it’s nice to break away and have some good old-fashioned fun! Our employee events include our winter holiday party, family open house, the Vancouver Sun Run, and Bike to Work Week.

Partnering in our communities and helping to build the next generation in STEM

We offer post-secondary internships and co-op opportunities in partnership with several universities. In 2022, we were proud to be recognized as a top co-op employer by the University of British Columbia’s Science Co-op Program.
