Description

The importance of water to the health of our world can't be overstated.

As the frequency and intensity of floods, droughts and storms increases, the water industry must continue to build resiliency and lead from the front.

Together with our clients, we are thinking and doing things differently to help pre-empt and prepare for what's next. Be a part of this dynamic and committed team of diverse water specialists and drive change for your community.

You'll be able to apply our powerful global network of skills and decades of experience to create positive water outcomes that respect nature and nurture communities

  • Prepare and review technical documentation across concept, preliminary, and detailed design phases.
  • Provide input across the full project lifecycle—from planning and feasibility to detailed design, construction and commissioning.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and mentor junior engineers.
  • Engage with clients and stakeholders to define project requirements and deliver tailored solutions.
  • Apply relevant design standards and use tools such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, 12d, and WSAA guidelines.

What you will bring to the team:

  • A degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering.
  • RPEQ status or ability to obtain.
  • 8+ years' experience in water and wastewater infrastructure design, ideally within a consultancy environment.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering hydraulic and transient designs for treatment plants (water and wastewater) and linear infrastructure.
  • Strong technical and communication skills, with a collaborative mindset and client-focused approach.
