  • RPEQ certification, or eligibility to obtain RPEQ registration.
  • Capability across bulk earthworks, drainage, pavements and underground services, with an understanding of geotechnical coordination and multidisciplinary interfaces.
  • Experience contributing across multiple project phases, from early studies and feasibility through detailed design and delivery support.
  • A practical mindset and a track record of developing solutions that balance technical quality, constructability and client outcomes.
  • The ability to make complex civil engineering concepts clear for clients, stakeholders and other disciplines.
  • Strong communication, collaboration and stakeholder engagement skills, with the confidence to challenge assumptions and see the bigger picture.
  • A genuine interest in continuing to learn, share knowledge and grow alongside experienced technical specialists.
