- Lead projects (~800 hours).
- Mentor junior engineers and actively participate in conferences.
- Engage in technical reviews, including expert committees and audits.
- Inspect tailings facilities and conduct stability reviews of dams.
Qualifications
- University degree in Civil or Geological Engineering and a graduate degree (Master’s and/or Ph.D.) in Geotechnics, or equivalent experience.
- Member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) or eligible for membership.
- 5 to 8 years of mining experience in designing tailings containment structures.
- ASP Construction safety card.
- Proficiency in French and English.
- Familiarity with slope stability, seepage, and stress‑deformation analysis software.
- Experience in dynamic analysis and seismicity.
- Excellent teamwork skills within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Benefits
Competitive compensation, employee recognition, and a flexible benefits package tailored to health, well‑being, financial and lifestyle needs. Opportunities for training and professional development. Hybrid working culture and generous time‑off policies.
Equal Opportunity
AtkinsRéalis is an equal‑opportunity employer. We strongly believe that world‑class talent makes no distinctions based on gender, ethnic or national origin, sexual identity and orientation, age, religion or disability, but enriches itself through these differences.
