Understanding the EGBC Competency Framework
Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia requires engineering applicants to demonstrate 34 competencies across seven categories through its online competency reporting system. Each competency example is self rated on a scale from 0 to 5 and must be confirmed by a validator who directly observed your work. Applicants generally need at least four years of engineering experience, including at least one year in a Canadian environment.
Geoscience applicants follow a separate framework aligned with national guidance from Geoscientists Canada, with workplace examples covering professionalism, the scientific method, your area of geoscience practice and complementary competencies.
