The Opportunity

Shape the World Around You
This is your chance to apply senior-level geotechnical expertise to the projects that define the future of BC and the Yukon. As a Senior Geotechnical Engineer within our Ground Engineering & Materials team, you'll bring your experience to some of the most high-profile, technically complex, and meaningful infrastructure projects in the region. Based in Kelowna or Kamloops, you will be part of a connected national practice while making a real, on-the-ground impact in the communities you serve.

Your Impact
  • Deliver geotechnical expertise on multidisciplinary projects-including highways, bridges, dams, buildings, tunnels, industrial facilities, and remote northern infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with engineering staff and cross-regional teams to develop innovative, practical, and sustainable geotechnical solutions.
  • Prepare detailed geotechnical studies and engineering reports, offering clear, actionable recommendations grounded in field data and technical analysis.
  • Lead or support geotechnical investigation programs, including scoping, bidding, procurement, and oversight of subcontractor activities.
  • Assess and evaluate key geotechnical challenges such as settlement, liquefaction, slope stability, frost heave, groundwater flow, excavation considerations, and more.
  • Manage field programs that may include drilling, in-situ testing, CPT investigations, trenching, and construction QA/QC activities (e.g., subgrade compaction, geosynthetics installation).
  • Contribute to project delivery excellence by ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently, and with exceptional technical rigor.


The Skills That Set You Apart
  • A degree in Geotechnical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Registration, or eligibility for registration, as a P.Eng. with EGBC.
  • At least 7 years of hands-on geotechnical experience, ideally across multiple project types and field conditions.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard geotechnical software such as GeoStudio, Rocscience, or similar tools.
  • A strong sense of initiative and the ability to lead workstreams with minimal direction.
  • A proven track record delivering geotechnical projects on time, on budget, and with high technical quality.
