Planning & Design Technologist 1

FortisBC · Burnaby, British Columbia · $3,104 annually

applies via careers.fortisbc.com

Verdict

This posting exhibits a critical red flag that overrides otherwise legitimate employer verification: the salary of $3,104 annually is implausibly low for a full-time Planning & Design Technologist role in British Columbia, representing roughly $1.50/hour. While FortisBC is a legitimate regulated utility with a genuine careers portal and consistent employer/location/role verification, the salary is so far below market rates and legal minimums that it strongly suggests either a data entry error, a test posting, or potential fraud. The extreme salary outlier is the dominant fraud signal.
