Your Impact

• Contribute to planning and executing geotechnical field investigations, including boreholes, test pits, and in-situ testing to support transportation, municipal, industrial, and environmental projects.
• Assist in interpreting soil, rock, and groundwater conditions and help translate findings into clear, practical design recommendations.
• Support the development of geotechnical design solutions for foundations, earthworks, slopes, retaining structures, and buried infrastructure that help keep people and communities safe. 
• Prepare concise, data-driven technical memoranda and reports that inform client decisions on scope, schedule, and investment. 
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (environmental, structural, transportation, water, and more) to integrate ground engineering into larger project designs. 
• Help advance sustainable design practices by considering constructability, materials, and long-term performance in geotechnical solutions. 
• Participate in project meetings and contribute to problem-solving discussions, bringing an EIT perspective and curiosity to every challenge. 

The Skills That Set You Apart

• You have a degree in civil, geological, or geotechnical engineering and are registered, or eligible to register, as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) with a Canadian engineering association. 
• You've started building hands-on experience in geotechnical or ground engineering through co-op, internship, or early-career project work. 
• You are comfortable supporting work both in the field and in the office and are willing to travel to sites across the Prairies and the North as project needs arise. 
• You enjoy working with data – from logs and lab results to monitoring records – and using it to support practical recommendations. 
• You are keen to grow your skills with geotechnical tools and software (for example, analysis, modeling, or drafting platforms) and to learn from senior mentors. 
• You care about doing work that matters – to clients, communities, and the environment – and you bring a collaborative, safety-focused mindset to every project.
