Company Overview URS is a Northern BC restoration company, and has recently become a member of the Canstar Group of Companies. With branches in Prince George, Smithers, Terrace, and Quesnel, URS focuses on helping people after experiencing a fire, flood, or other structural damage to their home or business. We are a company that builds careers, with training initiatives like the Perfect File building skills that prepare you for the advancement opportunities that we are known for, as well as a Tuition Reimbursement Program where employees are eligible to have a portion or all of their Post Secondary/Trade or other professional training courses paid for.
