Mentor and review the work of newer engineers and technologists

Level - Typical experience - What you’ll own

Environmental Engineer I (EIT) - 0-2 years : Field sampling, data analysis, report drafting, and design support, learning under a licensed mentor with a structured plan toward your P.Eng.

Environmental Engineer II - 2-5 years : Managing assessments and small to mid-sized projects, leading field programs, supporting design and permitting, mentoring newer engineers, completing P.Eng. requirements

Senior Environmental Engineer (P.Eng.) - 5+ years : Leading projects and client relationships, serving as technical authority, signing off on designs and reports where required, managing budgets and teams, developing staff

Promotion criteria are written down at every level, with regular career conversations. Many of our engineers have moved into project management, principal and discipline lead roles, and regulatory or corporate environmental leadership. What you bring Must have :-

Solid foundation in environmental engineering: hydrology and hydrogeology, water and wastewater treatment, soil and groundwater contamination, and air quality

Understanding of environmental regulation and a strong safety mindset for field work

Analytical and problem-solving skills,



with comfort working with data

Transparent technical writing and communication with clients, regulators, and communities

Willingness to do field work in all weather, including travel to remote sites

Bachelor’s degree in Environmental, Civil, Chemical, or a closely related engineering field from a program accredited by Engineers Canada (CEAB), or equivalent academic qualification recognized by your provincial regulator. We care about sound judgment and careful work.

Legal authorization to work in Canada (citizens, permanent residents, and valid work permit holders)

Nice to have (not required) :-

Registered as an EIT or P.Eng. with a provincial regulator (APEGA, Engineers and Geoscientists BC, PEO, OIQ, APEGS, or similar). If you’re an internationally trained engineer working toward licensure, we’ll support the process

Co-op or internship experience with a consulting firm, regulator, municipality, or industrial site

Experience with ESAs, remediation, or contaminated sites regulation in your province

GIS, Python, or modelling experience (MODFLOW, AERMOD, SWMM, HEC-RAS)

Professional designations such as P.Geo, EP (Environmental Professional), or CESA (Canadian Environmental Auditing Association) credentials, or progress toward them

Safety and field training: H2S Alive, WHMIS, Standard First Aid, CSTS, Ground Disturbance, or similar (we’ll provide what you need)

Experience with Indigenous consultation and engagement processes

Industry background in [consulting, mining, oil and gas, municipal infrastructure, utilities, renewable energy, manufacturing, etc.]

Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel
