Our Geophysics Group is based in Edmonton and has successfully implemented a flexible hybrid work model. We primarily work on projects across Western and Northern Canada, although occasionally have opportunities to pursue international projects. Much of our work is completed in collaboration with engineering groups within Tetra Tech, which has allowed our team to specialize in complex interdisciplinary projects. We work with our clients, both internal and external, to determine unique solutions to their problems. Through servicing a large variety of industries and clients, we have been able to build our team consistently and sustainably for many years.

We support the development of our staff by allowing them to work independently and take responsibility for their projects from early on in their careers, providing a sense of ownership over their work. Unlike other employers, we provide the opportunity to work on projects from cradle to grave. Our team members regularly assist with proposal development, fieldwork planning, data collection, processing, interpretation, and reporting for the same project. This all-inclusive approach to geophysics allows for a much deeper understanding of the geophysical consulting profession. Some of our most memorable projects include consulting on a Hollywood film production, helicopter-based routing studies, bedrock mapping on the BC west coast, permafrost site investigations in the Arctic, downhole geophysical logging in the Rocky Mountains, and mapping ice roads. Note that fieldwork is a significant part of geophysics. Junior Geophysicists can expect to be in the field a minimum of 50% of the time (average throughout the year).
