Our employees enjoy working here because of our varied projects, high levels of autonomy, opportunities for career development, excellent total compensation and benefits package, and collaborating with a team of great professionals.

The Opportunity

McElhanney is seeking an experienced Geotechnical Engineer to join our team in Nanaimo, BC. Other Vancouver Island McElhanney locations will be considered for the right individual.

This is an exciting opportunity to step into a role within a young and growing team in a small-office environment, back by the support of our wider network of Geotechnical Professionals across British Columbia and Alberta. In this role, you will help shape the future of our geotechnical services in the region, using your local experience and professional connections to build and grow our presence.

Note: This role is not considered as a Team Lead. If people leadership and developing a team is the desired pathway for your next career move, please express this in your cover letter as part of your application.

Live, Work and Play in Nanaimo

What You’ll Do

Deliver geotechnical solutions for civil infrastructure projects, including linear infrastructure (roads, rail, and underground utilities), water & wastewater systems, slope stability, buildings and marine structural.

Prepare fee estimates and proposals for geotechnical assignments.
Contribute to business development (internal and external) and client management.
Manage geotechnical projects and task schedules and budgets efficiently and effectively.
Provide oversight, guidance, direction and mentoring of junior technical staff, at a level consistent with your experience.
Grow technical expertise with the mindset of supporting the existing and future McElhanney business and Geotechnical team.

What You’ll Bring

University degree in Geotechnical/Geological Engineering or Civil Engineering with a geotechnical emphasis.
A minimum of 10 to 20 years of progressive experience in relevant geotechnical fields.
Strong fundamental knowledge of geotechnical design principles for civil infrastructure projects.
Candidates must possess a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) registration in British Columbia (or be eligible).
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated ability to build strong client and team relationships.
Project management skills, including budgeting, financial oversight, and schedule management.
Business development capabilities, including identifying and securing new work, building client relationships, and mentoring junior staff.

What Can We Offer You?

The salary range for this position is $100,000 to $150,000 per annum. McElhanney offers fair compensation that is commensurate with the individual’s education, experience, skills, and professional qualifications. The posted base salary/wage range is representative of the required level of qualifications and experience for the position as noted in the job posting. The salary offered will be based on the experience and qualifications of the successful candidate.

Work-Life Harmony: Balance your personal and professional commitments. Flexible hours to fit your lifestyle.
Comprehensive Benefits: Maternity and parental leave top up program, health and dental coverage, RRSP matching, and Employee & Family Assistance Program.
Safe & Inclusive Workplace: A culture of respect and inclusion for all.
Compensation: Attractive total compensation package including a generous bonus plan and share ownership potential.
Professional Development: Reimbursement for dues, educational assistance, mentorship program, workshops, and committee involvement.
Career Progression: Support and mentorship to shape a career path that fits your goals.
Relocation Support: Financial assistance if applicable.

This role is designated as a safety sensitive position.
