Water Resource Engineer

We create great places and the connections that keep people and goods moving—whether by car, bus, train, plane, or on their own two feet. Working within the context of the communities we serve, we provide planning, engineering, and infrastructure management services that respond to our clients’ needs and improve the overall transportation experience. Join our team and help us keep communities connected.

Why Saskatchewan?

Build your career in a province where meaningful work and an outstanding quality of life come together. Saskatchewan offers welcoming communities, shorter commutes, accessible amenities, and abundant outdoor recreation throughout every season. You will have the opportunity to contribute to infrastructure that directly supports growing communities and regional connections. An example of impactful work that our local team has successfully completed recently is the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways, Stimulus Program, where our team served as Owner’s Engineer and provided program management for a road improvement program worth over $300M. It is the kind of meaningful, large-scale transportation work you can be part of while enjoying the space, balance, and sense of community that make Saskatchewan a rewarding place to live and work.

In addition to working on impactful local projects within Saskatchewan, you will have the opportunity to collaborate on projects across North America and in particular, Canada West.
