  • Familiarity with hydraulic software such as XPSWMM, InfoDrainage, InfoWorks ICM, or HEC‑RAS.
  • Experience supporting rail, transit, or highway drainage projects.
  • Local knowledge of the Calgary/Alberta regulatory environment.

Benefits

  • Proudly Canadian – Top 100 Employer in Canada for 2026.
