What we require:

We respect the knowledge and experience you have gained to date and are willing to support you as you build on it. We do however require:

  • A degree in civil engineering: a master’s degree is considered an asset
  • 10+ years’ civil design experience related to surface water controls (preferably for mining or related industries), with a track record of continued development

  • An ability to find creative solutions and know how to present them.
  • A willingness to mentor others and be mentored.
  • An ability to build rapport with clients, colleagues, and industry partners.
  • Demonstrate that you are flexible and seek solutions rather than focus on problems.
  • A willingness to travel and undertake fieldwork.
  • A proven ability to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

The salary for this position is $ 110,000 to $ 160,000 per year. Salary is based on applicable experience, education, and skill level.

Along with continued career development, KCB offers:
