  • Design and oversee implementation of treatment systems (e.g., wetlands, filtration, aeration)
  • Support environmental permitting and regulatory compliance (e.g., WQ standards, ESA, WSA)
  • Collaborate with civil, hydrogeological, ecological, and regulatory teams on integrated water infrastructure projects
  • Mentor junior engineers and support team growth and development
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in environmental, Civil, or Chemical Engineering (or related discipline)
  • Licensed (or eligible) Professional Engineer in British Columbia
  • 10+ years of experience in water quality engineering or water resources
