The Surrey City Development Corporation (“SCDC”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the City of Surrey whose mandate is:

1. To act as a catalyst for positive development that will support and accelerate the City of Surrey’s social, cultural, community, economic and environmental objectives;
2. To generate revenue through its real estate activity including building an income-producing real estate portfolio; and
3. To provide strategic real estate advice and activity in support of the City’s vision for redeveloping certain areas of the City, including the best use of surplus City-owned lands.

The City is seeking five experienced Directors to serve as independent SCDC Board Members.  These Directors will work with two additional Directors appointed from senior City of Surrey staff to direct the company as it ramps up and re-establishes its activities and operations.

Successful candidates will bring experience in residential, industrial, and commercial real estate development, development finance, corporate operations and human resources.  A solid understanding of good corporate governance is essential for these roles and familiarity with the standards of the Institute of Corporate Directors is important. 

Please note that unlike with City Committees, positions with the Surrey City Development Corporation are paid positions. 

Interested applicants can submit their resume and cover letter to clerks@surrey.ca.
