Missions/Main Duties
- Lead multi-method geophysical campaigns (GPR, seismic refraction/MASW, ERT/IP, EM, gravity, magnetics; crosshole/downhole) aligned with engineering/environmental objectives, balancing risk–cost–schedule.
- Integrate data and models into GIS/BIM deliverables with full traceability, metadata, and reproducibility.
- Deliver design value: tailor acquisition schemes, execute processing and 2D/3D inversions (Vs/Vp, resistivity, density, permittivity), and produce maps/anomalies, isopachs, hazard zoning, and actionable recommendations.
- Manage 1–3 technicians/engineers and oversee subcontractors end‑to‑end (specs, HSE, QA/QC, permits/coactivity, field audits, validation and acceptance against KPIs).
- Ensure regulatory compliance and proactive FR/EN stakeholder communication; present at design reviews; maintain 30–40% field presence.
Profile/Skills
Education: M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Geophysics, Geosciences, Geological Engineering, or a related discipline.

Years of Experience: M.Sc. track: 12–15+ years in applied geophysics (civil/mining/geotechnical), leading complex field campaigns, GIS/BIM integration, and subcontractor oversight. Ph.D. track: 8–12+ years with proven expertise in 2D/3D multiparameter modeling/inversion and translating results into design decisions.
Technical competencies:
- Proficiency in methods: GPR, seismic refraction/MASW, ERT/IP, EM, gravity, magnetics; crosshole/downhole testing.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills in French and English.
* Reason for bilingual requirement: You will collaborate with a diverse client base, including French- and English-speaking organizations. Bilingualism is essential to build strong client relationships, understand specific needs, and communicate effectively in their preferred language.
Personal and soft skills:
- Leadership and mentorship.
- Autonomy and organization.
- Rigor and innovation mindset.
- Multi-project and priority management.
Practical Requirements:
Mobility across Ontario and Quebec initially, with potential assignments on other corridors in Canada.
