Senior Engineering Technologist
About The Position
Our engineering team has delivered thousands of small dams across the country over the last 87 years. So much so that we now own over 6,000 water retaining structures responsible for the creation of over 1.2 million acres of wetland. This makes DUC the largest single dam owner in Canada in terms of sheer numbers. The real strength of our talented group of highly qualified engineering professionals comes from their ability to function as a well-coordinated team that brings a combined wealth of diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives. DUC is looking for a confident, energetic and dedicated Senior Engineering Technologist to join our team in Québec. As a Senior Engineering Technologist, you will be responsible for supervising and managing the construction and repair of earthen dams, water control structures and other natural infrastructures, working towards the retention of essential wetlands and other wildlife habitats on the landscape. You will also support the engineering team with planning, drawing plans with computer assisted software, construction procurement, cost estimation, and design – activities that appeal to you because you love a balance of office work and field work. You will have the opportunity to travel to remote field sites for construction or to be involved with inspections of small dams and water control structures as part of DUC’s dam safety mandate.
