Our clientele consists mostly of Federal, Provincial, First Nation, municipal, and district dam and dike owners;

The role will be approximately 80-95% in the office (including home office) and 5-20% in the field. Design and delegate the drawing of heavy civil construction drawings using Civil 3D (specifications and design criterion provided by in-house engineering specializations, CAD specialist available to delegate work too)

· Construction estimating (earthworks and other civil works)
· Be willing to conduct field surveys, inspections, and general data collection (training will be provided to learn how to conduct CCTV pipe inspections, drone surveys, bathymetric data surveys, underwater ROV operations, etcetera)

· Experience with survey equipment, drones, and bathymetric surveys
· Be able to self-teach from textbooks, online resources, technical bulletins, etcetera
· Preference for civil engineering training that has eligibility for registration with ASTT or EGBC

Our office is different. What this means is that work should be flexible to support the life and lifestyle we want to live. This means that you are able to select your own schedule provided that all your responsibilities are met (for example, if there is no scheduled field construction or office meetings that conflict, you can trade your Tuesday for a Sunday so you can hit the slopes on a “powder day,” or you could decide to work four 10-hour days so you can plan a three-day weekend getaway). Project work typically consists of a mix of fieldwork and in-office/in-lab work for most of the summer, with desktop work in the winter and early spring. Fall is typically our busiest field season, with several construction projects on the go between August and November. Spring often consists of some emergency work and a mixed bag of project start-ups and winter project wrap-ups.
