Help us enable even more peace of mind. 

Looking to make a difference in occupational health and wellness with a company that values innovation, teamwork, and excellence?

At Iridia, we’re redefining healthcare delivery in industrial settings. Since 1998, we’ve been at the forefront of workplace health innovation - we implemented BC’s first workplace AED program; built, staffed and ran Canada’s first privately-owned mobile hospital, and more recently we were among the earliest adopters of Antigen testing to keep workplaces active and thriving throughout the COVID pandemic. We’ve been delivered these programs in a large cross section of work environments from urban office settings to remote camps environments on glaciers.

While our story to date is one that we are proud of, we are looking to expand the impact of our efforts. Supplementing our onsite responsive care services with proactive, preventive services embodying Medicine 3.0 concepts, we are poised to meaningfully influence the health of Canadian workforces in new ways. And now we are expanding our team. If you’re a batteries-included individual with a passion for quality patient care and are looking to directly apply your skills and knowledge in a unique setting this opportunity just might be for you.
