Geohazard Intermediate Engineer, Water Crossings

About the role

A good match for an engineer who likes fieldwork problems and numerical analysis in equal measure. The work shapes programmes that keep pipelines safe where water, sediment and floods put them at risk.

At a glance

What you will do

• Help plan and run programmes that find and manage hydrotechnical hazards for pipelines in river and coastal settings.
• Assess pipeline condition under hydrological and hydraulic loading, open channel flow and fluvial processes.
• Use numerical methods and engineering tools for detailed analysis and to design mitigation measures.
• Carry out structural and fitness for service evaluations that feed integrity and risk decisions.
• Apply geohazard risk principles to judge threats and recommend practical ways to reduce them.
• Guide and mentor pipeline integrity engineers, working with internal teams and field projects.

What they look for

• A bachelor's degree in civil or geological engineering or a similar field; a master's in civil engineering is an asset.
• Four or more years in water resources or hydrotechnical engineering, including open channel flow or fluvial geomorphology.
• Registration with APEGA as a P. Eng. in Alberta, or a PE in the US is preferred.
• Skill with numerical assessment and engineering tools for technical analysis and mitigation design.
• Knowledge of risk analysis for pipeline geohazards and working familiarity with the pipeline industry.
• Self-motivated and organised, able to work alone or in a team, with strong analysis, communication and project management skills.

Nice to have

• Experience in structural analysis, fitness for service assessment and pipeline numerical applications is preferred.
