Build the Future of Northern Ontario With Us

As a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you’ll help shape the future of the North—strengthening the communities you call home. From supporting major infrastructure to helping local industries grow sustainably, your work will make a visible impact across Northern Ontario.

You’ll lead complex geotechnical projects, mentor future technical leaders, and collaborate directly with clients and partners who share your passion for building a stronger, more resilient North. This is a chance to grow your career while staying rooted in the community you love.

Your Impact

  • Lead geotechnical engineering projects that support northern infrastructure, transportation, mining, energy, and community growth.
  • Oversee and conduct site investigations, soil and rock assessments, and advanced geotechnical analysis.
  • Develop and review geotechnical reports, design recommendations, foundations, slope stability evaluations, and ground improvement solutions.
  • Mentor and guide junior and intermediate engineers and technicians to strengthen capability in the North.
  • Work closely with local clients, Indigenous partners, contractors, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver high‑quality technical outcomes.
  • Support business development through proposals, client meetings, and community‑focused relationship building.
  • Bring innovative tools, technologies, and approaches to improve accuracy, efficiency, and sustainability in geotechnical work.

The Skills That Set You Apart

  • Bachelor’s degree in Geotechnical or Civil Engineering (Master’s degree is an asset). Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in Ontario.
  • 10+ years of geotechnical engineering experience, ideally with exposure to northern or remote projects.
  • Deep technical knowledge of soil mechanics, foundations, slope stability, embankments, and ground improvement methods.
  • Proficiency in geotechnical modelling and design software.
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams with confidence and clarity.
  • Strong client engagement skills and a passion for community‑building in Northern Ontario.
