The Opportunity

Your Impact Starts Here — this is your chance to join a high‑performing Ground Engineering & Materials team in one of WSP's most strategically important northern hubs.

In this role, you will:

• Lead and deliver field materials testing assignments, including soil and concrete testing for local and regional projects across BC and the Yukon.
• Perform laboratory testing in our Prince George facility, following established soil and concrete testing standards and accurately reporting results.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to support geotechnical engineering programs and ensure high‑quality technical output.
• Apply your technical judgment to support safe, efficient testing practices in both remote and urban environments.
• Contribute to a culture of safety, ensuring strong adherence to WSP and client health & safety procedures.
• Bring curiosity and initiative, helping project teams deliver reliable data and client‑focused service across a wide range of northern project types.

The Skills That Set You Apart

You will thrive here if you bring:

• A diploma or degree in Civil Engineering Technology and a desire to build your expertise through hands‑on field and lab experience.
• Confidence working in remote northern environments, including travel for project assignments.
• Clear and practical communication skills, with the ability to document results and coordinate effectively on site and in the lab.
• A valid Canadian driver's license and comfort working in fast‑paced project conditions.
• Any past experience in materials testing (field or laboratory), construction, or geotechnical environments — whether professional or as a student intern.
• Eligibility for CTech / AScT, or interest in pursuing certification as your career develops.
• CCIL concrete (Cat 0) and CCIL aggregates (Type C/D) certification is an asset.
