Intermediate Engineer

Position Type: Permanent Full-Time, 37.5 hours work week

Experience Level: Intermediate-Level (5-7 years experience)

Company Overview

International Water Supply Ltd. (IWS) is a complete groundwater development organization, specializing in the assessment, engineering design, service and maintenance of groundwater supplies. We are an industry leader providing both engineering and contracting services to a wide range of municipal and industrial clients completing maintenance on water wells along with supply, installation and maintenance of well pump systems and lift station pumping equipment. During its 94 years in business, IWS has developed more groundwater in Canada for municipal and industrial use than any other Canadian group. We are looking for qualified talent to help us get to our 100-year milestone and beyond.

Position Overview

We are seeking a motivated, organized, and highly capable Junior/Intermediate Engineer to join our team. Because we specialize in large vertical turbine pumps, in addition to submersible well pumps and work extensively in servicing wells and the associated equipment, most of the technical expertise required for this position can only be developed through hands-on experience within the role. While related experience would be an asset, we are not necessarily looking for someone who already has extensive knowledge in the industry. Instead, we are looking for an individual with strong project management, organization, communication, problem-solving, and learning skills, who has the ability and initiative to develop the specialized technical knowledge over time.

The successful candidate will work closely with the company’s President and Senior Project Engineer, initially supporting projects and learning the technical elements while gradually taking on greater responsibility.  The role is designed for someone who can become an effective project contributor from the outset, with lots of room to grow and advance within the organization. Please note this position is 100% in-person, no remote work.
