Original job description

Principal Geotechnical Engineer - Alberta Oil Sands

Worley Consulting, the specialist consulting business of Worley, provides technical and advisory solutions across the energy, resources and infrastructure sectors. We deliver safe, high-quality work throughout the project lifecycle and seek experienced professionals who share our commitment to technical excellence, client service and sustainable project outcomes.

The Principal Geotechnical Engineer - Alberta Oil Sands position is a full-time role based in Calgary or Edmonton, AB within Worley Consulting's Geoscience Practice. The role will provide senior technical leadership for oil sands mining, tailings, mine infrastructure and industrial development projects across northern Alberta.

Our Geotechnical Engineering group is part of the Americas Geoscience service line and works with a global network of geotechnical, geological and geophysical professionals. In Alberta's oil sands, our teams support mine development and sustaining capital programs, tailings and water management facilities, earth structures, foundations, roads and haul infrastructure, pipelines and utilities, geohazard assessment, construction support and asset performance.

Total lifecycle expertise

Our expertise spans feasibility and options assessment, site investigation, basis of design, detailed engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, surveillance and closure. This lifecycle perspective helps identify geotechnical risks early and develop practical, constructible solutions suited to oil sands ground conditions and operating environments.

Integrated approach

You will work in integrated teams with mining, tailings, civil, structural, hydrotechnical, environmental, project delivery and construction professionals. The role provides a senior technical interface for clients and supports clear accountability, efficient decisions and coordinated delivery across complex, multidisciplinary oil sands projects.

Unrivalled industry knowledge

Our consultants bring deep industry knowledge in oil sands geology and geotechnical engineering, including glacial and post-glacial soils, muskeg and soft ground, Clearwater Formation and oil sands deposits, mine geotechnics, tailings and water-retaining structures, slope stability, seepage, foundations, ground improvement, winter construction and advanced numerical analysis.

Our Services Include

Oil sands mine development, mine infrastructure and sustaining capital projects
Tailings and water management facilities, dams, dykes, berms and containment structures
Open-pit mine geotechnics, slope design, pit walls and reclamation or closure earthworks
Industrial facilities, foundations, earthworks, roads, haul roads, pipelines and utilities
Geotechnical site characterization, construction support, instrumentation and performance monitoring

Who You Would Work With

Our Geotechnical Engineering Practice is seeking a recognized senior practitioner with strong technical leadership, client relationship and business development capabilities. You will collaborate with oil sands operators, multidisciplinary project teams, contractors and regulators, while mentoring geotechnical professionals and helping grow our Alberta oil sands practice.

What We Expect Of You

Overall Responsibilities and Key Accountabilities

Provide technical leadership, mentorship, coaching and career development support to junior, intermediate and senior geotechnical staff
Act as a senior technical authority and reviewer for complex geotechnical analyses, designs, reports, drawings, specifications and construction deliverables
Lead and support business development activities, including client engagement, opportunity development, presentations, negotiations, proposals and scope or fee preparation
Work with Practice and Project leadership to plan resources, build capable teams and coordinate delivery across concurrent oil sands assignments
Champion Worley zero-harm expectations and integrate safety in design, field programs, construction support and operational recommendations
Establish and maintain technical quality, design assurance and consistency for geotechnical deliverables, including independent review and risk-based checking
Lead geotechnical scopes from desktop study and field investigation through analysis, design and construction support. Typical work includes borehole and in-situ investigation programs, laboratory testing, geotechnical models, slope stability, seepage and deformation analyses, foundations, earthworks, ground improvement, mine infrastructure, tailings or water-retaining earth structures, instrumentation and observational-method approaches
Develop practical recommendations for oil sands ground conditions, including soil and rock parameters, mine slopes, dykes and berms, shallow and deep foundations, settlement, frost and permafrost considerations, dewatering, seismic loading, trafficability, constructability and staged development
Prepare and approve technical reports and proposals; lead technical workshops, design reviews and client meetings; and communicate complex geotechnical risks and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Collaborate with mining, tailings, civil, structural, hydrotechnical, environmental, construction and project delivery teams on existing and new Worley projects, and provide senior support during field execution and construction
