Build the Future with Us
As an Intermediate Water & Wastewater Engineer, you'll help shape resilient communities across Atlantic Canada by contributing to the planning, design, and delivery of pump stations, booster stations, treatment facilities, and related facility upgrades.

You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to projects from process evaluation, facility planning, and preliminary engineering through detailed design, tendering, construction services, start-up, performance testing, and commissioning support.
Candidates may bring experience in water or wastewater treatment facilities, pumping stations, or both; expertise in either area will be considered valuable.
This role also offers flexibility for professionals interested in pursuing a technical design career path, a project management career path, or a blend of both.
