Your Impact

• Install, service, and develop water supply and monitoring wells in accordance with Class 3 well‑technician standards and provincial regulations.
• Operate AZ/DZ‑licensed vehicles to safely transport drilling equipment, materials, and tools to project locations.
• Assist with drilling, casing, grouting, and well development activities, ensuring safe, compliant, and high‑performing well construction.
• Record subsurface observations, water levels, flow conditions, and daily site activities to support engineering and environmental decision‑making.
• Collect groundwater and soil samples used in environmental assessments and remediation programs.
• Contribute to projects supporting contaminated‑site remediation, water‑supply planning, and infrastructure development where wells and accurate field data are essential.
• Maintain a safety‑first work environment by following WSP safety procedures, participating in tailgate meetings, and using proper PPE.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, project managers, hydrogeologists, and fellow technicians to achieve project milestones.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• Hands‑on experience in well construction, drilling, environmental fieldwork, groundwater, or related activities (typically 3+ years in a technician or drilling‑support role).
• Valid Well Technician Class 3 certification (or eligibility) in the province.
• Valid AZ or DZ driver’s licence (or provincial equivalent) with the ability to operate heavy vehicles safely.
• Experience documenting well construction, logging subsurface materials, and maintaining high‑quality field records.
• Ability to work outdoors in variable weather, travel to remote project sites, and adapt to project‑driven schedules.
• A technical background such as environmental science, geology, civil/water resources, or equivalent on‑the‑job field experience.
• Comfortable using tablets or laptops to complete digital field forms, photo logs, and daily summaries.
• A commitment to safe work practices and environmental stewardship.
