Drive financial and operational performance, including backlog, utilization, margins, WIP, accounts receivable, forecasting, resource planning, and risk.
Strengthen key client relationships and lead strategic pursuits across transportation, municipal, energy, mining, infrastructure, and industrial markets, with disciplined bid/no-bid decision-making.
Provide senior technical leadership for complex geotechnical projects while advancing technical standards, quality, innovation, digital tools, instrumentation, monitoring, and ground modelling.
Lead contractual strategy and risk, including negotiations for major project contracts and Master Services Agreements.
Foster a One WSP approach by connecting expertise across offices, regions, sectors, and service lines, while representing WSP with clients and within the industry.
Champion health and safety, quality, inclusion, accountability, employee engagement, innovation, and client success.

Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in a Prairie or Northern province or territory, or eligibility to obtain registration.
15+ years of progressive experience in geotechnical engineering or a related consulting environment, with demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary teams and complex project portfolios.
Strategic and commercially minded leader who can connect people, technical capability, client needs, market opportunities, and long-term business priorities.
Proven ability to lead, inspire, attract, develop, and retain high-performing teams, including managers, technical leaders, project managers, and emerging leaders.
Strong client relationship and business development capabilities, with knowledge of the Prairies & North market and a track record of supporting strategic pursuits and sustainable business growth.
Recognized technical expertise in geotechnical engineering, with the credibility and judgment to guide complex projects, technical risk, geotechnical investigations and design, and senior client discussions.
Strong commercial and operational acumen, including experience with P&L ownership, forecasting, backlog, utilization, margins, WIP, accounts receivable, resource planning, and risk management.
Demonstrated understanding of contractual and commercial principles, with experience supporting or leading negotiations for major project contracts and Master Services Agreements.
