Manage multi-disciplinary projects—scope, schedule, budget, risk, and change—while coordinating inputs across investigation, design, and delivery.
Serve as a technical reference and QA reviewer, ensuring high standards across deliverables and technical documentation.
Plan and oversee geotechnical site investigations and data interpretation; translate findings into pragmatic design parameters and recommendations.
Lead client engagement, present technical solutions, and support/lead proposals for major and alternative delivery projects (e.g., design-build, P3); apply relevant Canadian/Ontario design standards and guidelines in geotechnical contexts.
Lead geotechnical design for transportation and energy projects (e.g., foundations, retaining structures, excavations, slopes, tunnels), ensuring rigorous analysis, quality, and constructability.
Mentor and train junior and intermediate engineers, fostering technical growth and supporting career development within the geotechnical team.
Direct and perform advanced numerical modelling (soil/rock and soil-structure interaction) to optimize and de-risk designs on complex assignments.

Requirements
