Volunteer with APEGA

The Opportunity

The Safety Codes Council plays a key role in the safety of structures and systems in Alberta. The SCC works with partners and stakeholders to ensure that Alberta is designed and built with your safety in mind. Professional Engineers and Geoscientists represent a vital piece of this mission. To support the important work of the SCC, APEGA seeks professional members to represent the association and act in the public interest as volunteers on the SCC Working Group and its Sub-councils 

Current APEGA Seeks representatives on the following Sub-Councils:

Building Sub-Council

The Building Sub-Council members meet on a regular basis to discuss issues in the building industry and to make sure that our built environment is safe to inhabit. APEGA is seeking a volunteer who is conversant and active in working with buildings, codes and standards to represent the association on the Building Sub-Council.

Plumbing Sub-Council

The Plumbing Sub-Council members meet on a regular basis to discuss issues in the plumbing industry and to make sure that our built environment is safe to inhabit.

Volunteers on these committees will serve a three-year term and will represent at a high standard APEGA and its members, acting in the public interest.
