Policy Analyst

What is Enserva?

Enserva is the national trade association representing Canada’s energy services, supply, and manufacturing sectors. Our member companies operate in communities across the country and reflect the full breadth of the energy services industry.

We represent the people behind the work, operators, technicians, manufacturers, innovators, and small business owners who keep Canada’s energy sector moving. Our industry was built by hardworking Canadians solving real world challenges in the field, and that practical, problem-solving spirit continues to define us today.

As the energy sector evolves, so do we. We advocate for practical, responsible policies that reflect the realities of our industry and support our members’ ability to operate safely, competitively, and sustainably. From regulatory clarity and workforce development to innovation, safety, and environmental performance, we work to ensure our members have the tools, support, and voice they need to succeed.
