Senior Coastal Engineer (26042)
About The Position
We are seeking a permanent full-time Senior Coastal Engineer which can be based in any of our offices (hybrid) or if you’re not located near an office, you can work remotely from your home office with occasional travel to our offices in Eastern Canada. The successful candidate will work with multidisciplinary teams on unique and challenging projects across many of our regions. At GEMTEC, we offer something different. We’re an employee-owned, 400-person multidisciplinary consulting firm: not too big, not too small. We’re large enough to compete head-to-head with publicly traded engineering giants, but still small enough to maintain the culture and flexibility of a close-knit team. Our size and hands-on management style let us move quickly, embrace new opportunities, and empower our people to shape their own careers, without getting lost in corporate bureaucracy.
