The Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia (LTSA) is looking to hire four Examiner of Title Trainees to join our Operations division. There are total four vacancies across all three offices - New West, Victoria and Kamloops.

We are dedicated to transparency in our hiring process.

The principal function of the work unit is to interpret and administer the Land Title Act and other statutes relevant to ownership of land and to ensure reliability and security of title. Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia Offices maintain records of all real property transactions and issue certificates of title for each parcel of land.

Under the general direction of the management team and with support from appointed mentors, the Examiner of Title Trainee (Trainee) position is expected to bridge the gap between established (although declining) clerical duties and responsibilities and examination duties.

This will consist of a mix of reading, eLearning modules, group learning, demonstrations and practical exercises with live applications and mentor support.

To successfully achieve the Examiner classification, Trainees must demonstrate competency in all components of the training.
