  • Legally eligible to work in Canada
  • Strong work ethic with a drive to excel and deliver high‑quality work
  • Effective communicator with excellent oral and written skills
  • Able to work independently or collaboratively within a team environment

Supplementary Skills:

  • Experience conducting geotechnical site investigations
  • Familiarity with industry standard geotechnical software (e.g., gINT, CPeT IT, L Pile, GROUP, Settle3D, Slide, SHAKE)
  • Background in materials testing and construction inspection

The Rewards:
