This opportunity is ideal for a seasoned geotechnical professional who thrives on solving complex problems, driving high-quality client outcomes, and advancing technical excellence. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary experts on impactful projects while helping shape innovative solutions for some of Western Canada's most complex geotechnical and geohazard challenges.

Your Impact

Lead geohazard assessments, analyses, and mitigation designs for complex projects involving landslides, slope instability, river erosion, and other ground hazards affecting critical infrastructure.
Deliver technical expertise on geotechnical investigations, feasibility studies, and hazard evaluations for both existing and proposed linear infrastructure.
Guide multidisciplinary teams through desktop studies, field investigations, instrumentation programs, monitoring initiatives, design, construction, and site inspections.
Develop innovative and practical mitigation solutions including slope stabilization systems, retaining structures, erosion protection measures, and ground improvement techniques.
Manage projects through all phases of delivery while supporting business development, client relationships, safety, quality, budget management, and project success.
Prepare high-quality technical deliverables such as engineering reports, models, drawings, specifications, cost estimates, and permit documentation.

Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Alberta, or eligible for registration.
10+ years of experience in geohazard assessments, slope stability engineering, mitigation design, instrumentation monitoring, and geotechnical consulting.

Advanced proficiency with geotechnical modelling and geohazard assessment tools including Global Mapper, SLOPE/W, and LPILE; experience with FLAC, SEEP/W, PLAXIS, and PLAXIS LE is considered an asset.
Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary projects, manage budgets and schedules, build strong client relationships, and communicate complex technical concepts effectively.
