Water Resources Engineer / Technician – Swiftwater Consulting
Contact – Dave Banns ([email protected])

Are you a recent Civil or Environmental Engineering graduate with a passion for the outdoors, a thirst for adventure, and a drive to make a real impact in water resource management? If you're looking to launch your career in a role that blends technical rigor with boots-on-the-ground fieldwork, we want to hear from you.

About Swiftwater Consulting

Founded in 2017, Swiftwater Consulting has rapidly become one of British Columbia’s most sought-after water resource engineering firms, particularly within the mining sector. Their mission is simple yet profound: to understand water and its critical role in the success and sustainability of industrial and environmental projects.

With a team that has supported projects across nearly every continent and climate zone, Swiftwater Consulting is the embodiment of technical excellence, scientific curiosity, and a relentless commitment to quality. They are proud to support the advancement of hydrology and to help clients move their projects forward with confidence.

Swiftwater Consulting Core Practice Areas

Hydrometric & Climate Monitoring Services
Hydrologic Analyses & Hydrotechnical Design
Water & Air Quality Monitoring
GIS & Hydroinformatics
Aerial, Ground & Aquatic Surveying
Mining-Specific Hydrology Studies
Climate Change Assessments
Ancillary Environmental Services

Role and Responsibilities

We’re seeking an enthusiastic and adaptable Entry-Level Water Resources Engineer or Technician to join Swiftwater Consulting’s Vancouver-based team.

This is a unique opportunity for an EIT registered with EGBC to gain hands-on experience in both field and analytical work, supporting principal engineers and technical specialists.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in the wilderness, enjoys hiking and remote travel, and is eager to build a career in water resources. You’ll be based in their downtown Vancouver office when not in the field, but expected to spend a significant amount of time in some of the most stunning and rugged landscapes in Western Canada—and beyond.

Some of your duties include:

Field Engineering & Environmental Monitoring
Plan, prepare, and lead field visits to hydrometric and climate monitoring stations across mining, hydroelectric, and municipal projects.
Conduct fieldwork in remote locations using helicopters, boats, ATVs, and more.

Perform:

Hydrometric and climate station installations
Snow course surveys
Limnology and water quality sampling
River and lake bathymetric surveys
Flow accretion and dilution zone studies
Drone-based surveys (thermal, LiDAR, photogrammetry)
Groundwater and air quality sampling
Manage field data, complete routine reports, and ensure safety documentation is up to date.

Technical Analysis & Reporting

Conduct QA/QC of environmental and hydrological data.
Support annual data reporting and baseline environmental characterizations.
Assist in hydrologic modeling, infrastructure design, and construction supervision.
Contribute to project documentation, client deliverables, and presentations as your experience grows.

What the successful candidate will bring:

Civil or Environmental Engineering Degree or Diploma
Registered as an EIT with EGBC (or eligible)
Strong technical and practical skills with a resourceful, adaptable mindset
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook
Exposure to or interest in technical tools such as:
HEC-RAS, HydroCAD, AutoCAD, Civil3D
GoldSim, ArcGIS, and database/GIS systems
Physical ability to lift 50 lbs, work at heights (up to 30 ft), and endure long field days (up to 12 hours)
Willingness to travel frequently and work in remote, rugged environments
Passion for water, nature, and environmental stewardship
Training & Certifications (or willingness to obtain)
First Aid, Swiftwater Rescue, Fall Protection, Ice Rescue
Basic Drone Pilot & Boat Operator certifications
Additional vocational training as needed

In return, you can expect:

Base Salary between $75,000 - $85,000 depending on experience. Those with higher expectations and experience may also be considered
Performance bonuses and OT
Comprehensive benefits package
Professional development is company funded and encouraged
Collaborative and supportive work environment
Opportunities for international project work
A collaborative, technically focused team that values curiosity, integrity, and adventure

If you're ready to launch your career with a company that values your growth, challenges your skills, and takes you places few engineers get to go, apply directly.

Candidates must be legally authorized to work in Canada. Only candidates selected to move forward in the hiring process will be contacted.
