At Clifton, you become part of a professional community that thrives on the contributions of junior and seasoned team members alike. Seasoned experts invest heavily in junior members, mentoring them in both the technical and non-technical aspects of their role, helping them to advance their careers. Our new team members bring fresh ideas and contribute to the multiple perspectives from which we view challenges. This promotes innovation and agility that keeps us thriving. We value and respect our people and encourage work-life harmony. We offer a compensation package with a competitive salary, a pension plan, health benefits, and one of the most comprehensive employee assistance programs in the industry.

Clifton is currently searching for an intermediate or Senior Water Resources Engineer to join our growing water resources team in the Calgary office. You will work with a dynamic group of Water Science professionals to help grow the team and play a key role in the delivery of professional engineering services for a broad range of projects ranging from geohazards to stormwater management to mine water management and dam safety assignments. We are looking for a great team-mate who will help support each other, existing clients, and new clients.

Ensure effective task management, including accountability for time, budget, and technical requirements of assigned projects.
Act as the key client service interface and provide technical support to existing Clifton clients.
Actively respond to requests for proposals and qualifications to meet client goals and objectives and develop Clifton’s competitive advantage.
Ensure effective task management, including accountability for time, budget, and technical requirements of assigned projects.
Maintain positive client, sub-consultant, and co-worker relationships.
Participate in business development opportunities, including recruitment of new clients and new sectors of the economy not currently being served by Clifton.
Other duties, as assigned.

Required Qualifications and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering with specialization in water resources or environmental engineering, or equivalent. A post-graduate degree in water resource management is considered an asset.
A minimum of five (5) to fifteen (15) years of consulting experience in water resource engineering. A broad range of project experiences is considered an asset.
Registered (or eligible for registration) as a Professional Engineer or Geoscientist in Alberta/Saskatchewan (APEGA/APEGS).
Strong knowledge of water resource engineering practices.
Familiarity with hydraulic and hydrologic modelling software (HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, PCSWMM, etc.).
Strong organizational skills, including effective management of multiple and conflicting priorities with a demonstrated ability to meet deadlines, in the context of work/life balance.
Ability to work independently and in teams on project assignments, and comfort delegating project tasks.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
