Build and ship AI agents and automation that the whole corporation uses every day. The British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) is currently seeking a Digital Workplace AI and Automation Engineer co-op student/intern for the Winter & Summer 2027 work terms (January to August) to help design, build, and operate the AI assistants, agents, and process automation behind BCI’s Microsoft 365 and collaboration platforms.
BCI manages a globally diversified portfolio of assets valued at $313.7 billion and is one of Canada’s largest institutional investors. We invest globally to support pension and other funds for more than 30 clients based in British Columbia. We are proud to have been chosen as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers and BC’s Top Employers. These national and provincial competitions recognize employers who offer exceptional workplaces for their employees.
The AI and Automation Engineer co-op/intern will work within our Digital Workplace team in the Technology department. This is a great opportunity for you to work hands-on with production AI platforms, including Microsoft Foundry, Anthropic Claude, and Microsoft Copilot and to write the automation that keeps BCI’s collaboration environment running. You will finish the term with agents you designed and deployed, automation running in production, and a working understanding of how a regulated financial institution evaluates, secures, and rolls out AI.
Digital Workplace owns how BCI works together: Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams Rooms, and the AI capabilities layered on top of them. We run these platforms for the entire corporation and we build the agents, integrations, and automation that make them faster and safer to use. The team is small, technical, and delivery-focused, and works closely with Cyber Security, Cloud Operations, Enterprise Architecture, and the business areas we support.
At BCI, we value diversity and believe in fostering an inclusive culture where all employees can be successful.
We are performance and client focused and value integrity; if you share these values, we want to know you.
We recognize that some skills can be learned on the job and encourage all to apply.
