The Opportunity

Your Impact Starts Here

Are you ready to tackle some of the most complex and rewarding challenges in the industry? In this role, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with brilliant minds and contribute to high-profile projects that are changing the landscape of our world.

As a Geotechnical Engineer-in-Training based in Lethbridge, Alberta, you will work with our Prairies & North Lab & Materials team to support field investigations, analysis, design, and construction services for transportation, municipal, industrial, environmental, and community development projects. Guided by experienced professionals, you will combine field observations, laboratory data, and engineering principles to help clients understand soil, rock, and groundwater conditions and deliver safe, practical, and sustainable solutions across the Prairies and Canada's North.

Your Impact

• Contribute to planning and delivering field investigations and construction monitoring, including boreholes, test pits, in-situ testing, and soil, rock, and groundwater sampling.

• Analyze field observations and laboratory data to turn ground conditions into practical recommendations for foundations, earthworks, slopes, retaining structures, pavements, and buried infrastructure.

• Produce clear field records, calculations, figures, technical memoranda, and report content that support informed client decisions on scope, schedule, and investment.

• Collaborate with environmental, structural, transportation, water, and civil teams to integrate ground engineering insights into resilient project designs.

• Advance sustainable geotechnical solutions by considering constructability, materials, environmental outcomes, and long-term performance.

• Strengthen safe, high-quality project delivery while growing your technical capability through mentorship, project meetings, and varied assignments across the Prairies and the North.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• A bachelor's degree in civil, geological, or geotechnical engineering, with coursework or project experience focused on Lab & Materials.

• Registration, or eligibility to register, as an Engineer-in-Training with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA).

• Hands-on geotechnical experience through co-op, internship, academic fieldwork, or early-career projects involving investigation planning, soil or rock logging, sampling, or construction monitoring.

• Foundational knowledge of soil mechanics, foundations, earthworks, slope stability, groundwater, and laboratory testing, with the ability to interpret logs, laboratory results, and monitoring records.

• Ability to prepare organized calculations and technical documentation using Microsoft Office; familiarity with AutoCAD, GeoStudio, gINT, or comparable analysis, modelling, or drafting tools is an asset.

• Readiness to contribute in both field and office settings, travel to sites across the Prairies and the North, work outdoors in variable conditions, follow site-specific safety requirements, and maintain a valid driver's licence.
