Intermediate Consultant (Water Resources Engineer)
About The Position
Are you passionate about water stewardship supporting responsible mine water management through the full mine life cycle, from early-stage mine planning to relinquishment? If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you. We are growing and seeking an ambitious Intermediate Consultant (Water Resources Engineer) to join our dynamic team. This role is open to our Calgary or Saskatoon office, with a possibility for a hybrid opportunity in Vancouver.

We work with mining companies to return land responsibly and safely, enabling what comes next to serve both people and the planet. Our work challenges the status quo — we advocate for meaningful partnerships with communities, including Indigenous rightsholders, and design solutions that create lasting financial, environmental, and social value.
