  • Education in civil, environmental, or water resources engineering, with a focus on hydrotechnical or water‑related disciplines; 1‑5 years of relevant experience, preferably in a consulting environment.
  • Registered or eligible for registration as an Engineer‑in‑Training (EIT) in British Columbia.
  • Foundational experience in water‑sector analysis and modeling, gained through academic projects, internships, or early‑career roles.
  • Exposure to infrastructure design and construction processes, with a desire to build experience in these areas.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience preparing technical documents such as reports, memos, and presentation materials.
  • Demonstrated ability to support project tasks effectively, meet deadlines, and contribute to project team goals.
  • What Can We Offer You?

    The salary range for this position is $60,000–$95,000 per annum, commensurate with the individual’s education, experience, skills, and professional qualifications.

  • Work‑Life Harmony : 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.
