SENIOR GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER
Seismic, dams, and complex geotechnical work in our growing GTA offices
Location: Peterborough, ON and Mississauga, ON
Permament, Full Time
About the role
PRI is looking for a Senior Geotechnical Engineer to join our growing Peterborough and Mississauga offices. This is a hands-on senior role: you will lead projects end to end, seal your own work, and mentor the engineers and technologists around you.
The work spans land development, buildings, municipal and transportation infrastructure, and mining, including dams and tailings storage facilities. Seismic assessment is central to the role, as it is to any consequential geotechnical work in this region.
What you'll do
• Lead geotechnical projects from scoping and site investigation through analysis, design, reporting, and construction support.
• Direct design of foundations, settlement, slope stability, retaining and shoring systems, earthworks, and ground improvement.
• Lead seismic assessment, including site classification, liquefaction triggering and mitigation, seismic slope stability, and seismic design parameters.
• Provide geotechnical leadership on dams and tailings storage facilities, including Dam Safety Review input, stability and seepage analysis, and instrumentation review.
• Plan and direct site investigations, and interpret field and laboratory data into practical, constructible recommendations.
• Take professional responsibility for your work, sealing reports, designs, and field reviews under PEO practice requirements.
• Manage scope, budget, schedule, and fees, and mentor intermediate engineers, EITs, and technologists.
What you bring
• P.Eng. registered with PEO, or immediately eligible for registration in Ontario.
• Degree in Civil or Geological Engineering with a geotechnical specialization; a graduate degree is an asset.
• Minimum 8 years of progressive geotechnical consulting experience, leading and sealing your own projects.
• Dam or tailings experience is a strong asset, including dam safety work, stability and seepage analysis, or familiarity with the Canadian Dam Association guidelines.
• Proficiency with geotechnical software such as GeoStudio, Settle3, PLAXIS, LPile, or gINT.
• Strong technical writing, client communication, and project management ability.
• Class 5 BC driver's license, and willingness to travel to project and mine sites, including remote work.
Why PRI
• Real project ownership, with the multidisciplinary depth and in-house materials testing laboratories of a national firm behind you.
• Technically demanding work across development, infrastructure, and mining, including dams and tailings facilities.
• A growing Vancouver office with a clear path toward Principal and practice leadership roles.
• Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and support for professional development and PEO obligations.
PRI is a multidisciplinary engineering and natural sciences consulting firm with offices across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia. We are an equal-opportunity employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates. We particularly encourage applications from Indigenous professionals.
