  • Minimum 15–20 years of relevant experience in geotechnical engineering, preferably within the mining industry.
  • Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in a Canadian province or territory.
  • Demonstrated experience with tailings facilities, dam engineering, and waste rock management.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage clients and represent Arcadis externally.
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary project teams and mentoring junior staff.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience serving as an Engineer of Record or significant experience supporting EoR responsibilities across multiple sites.
  • Arctic or permafrost region experience in Northern Canada.
  • Proven involvement in technical pursuits and project delivery leadership.
  • Strong technical writing and presentation skills for senior stakeholders and clients.
  • Experience supporting or leading Dam Safety Reviews.

  • Working knowledge of Civil 3D, ArcGIS, or similar geospatial tools.
  • Strong capability with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint to support technical analysis and reporting.
  • Ability to clearly present technical findings and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and clients.
  • Multilingual skills (English, Spanish, French) are valued.

Salary range: $163,000-196,000.
