Provide technical support during construction, commissioning, and field investigations while ensuring compliance with project requirements and safety standards.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver integrated solutions that meet client, regulatory, and project objectives.
Contribute to technical reporting, specifications, design calculations, and drawing reviews that support successful project delivery.
Participate in quality assurance reviews, project meetings, and technical discussions to maintain high engineering standards.
Build strong client and stakeholder relationships while contributing to the continued growth of WSP's Hydro & Dams practice.

The Skills That Set You Apart

Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or a related discipline.
Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Canada, or eligible to obtain registration in the near term.
5-8 years of relevant geotechnical engineering experience, preferably supporting dam, hydroelectric, water resource, or civil infrastructure projects.
Experience performing geotechnical analyses and interpreting subsurface investigation and instrumentation data.
Working knowledge of dam safety practices, regulatory requirements, industry standards, and applicable Canadian Dam Association (CDA) guidelines.
Experience preparing technical reports, engineering calculations, specifications, and construction support documentation.
Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary project teams.
A commitment to technical excellence, continuous learning, and delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
