The Opportunity

Explore Limitless Possibilities

Join our Southern Ontario Mine Water team in Mississauga and help develop practical water-management solutions for mining projects in Canada and around the world.

Working alongside intermediate and senior engineers, you will contribute to hydrological and hydraulic assessments, field programs, technical designs, and multidisciplinary projects. You will gain hands-on experience, committed mentorship, and opportunities to build your technical expertise while helping clients manage water responsibly.

A reduced work week may be considered if it better supports the balance you are seeking.

Your Impact

• Support hydrological and hydraulic assessments, including water balances, flood mitigation, dam breach analyses, river engineering, and streamflow evaluations.
• Contribute to the assessment and design of water diversions, control structures, and other hydraulic infrastructure.
• Develop inputs for hydrological and hydraulic models that inform technical assessments and engineering designs.
• Plan and complete hydrological field programs at local and remote project sites.
• Collect, organize, and analyze field data, including streamflow and other water-related measurements.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams across Canada and internationally.
• Prepare clear technical documentation, analyses, and project deliverables under the guidance of experienced engineers.
• Apply a safety-first mindset while working at active mine sites and in remote environments.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or an equivalent engineering discipline.
• Academic or applied understanding of hydrological and hydraulic analysis, including field techniques such as streamflow measurement.
• Commitment to pursuing a professional engineering designation in Ontario when eligible.
• Valid, unrestricted Ontario Class G driver’s licence, a clean driver’s abstract, and access to a vehicle.
• Willingness to travel and work at active mine sites and remote locations, including travel in small aircraft or helicopters.
• Comfort operating or travelling in off-road vehicles, including trucks, all-terrain vehicles, and snowmobiles.
• Strong technical writing, data analysis, and communication skills, supported by proficiency with Microsoft Office.
• Experience with hydrological or hydraulic modelling, AutoCAD, geographic information system mapping software, or mine water management is an asset.
