Develop plans and basic designs with minimal direction, validate designs with stakeholders, and perform in-depth data analysis for input into plans. Review and make recommendations on moderately complex plans and designs for internal approval.


What it takes:

A bachelor’s degree in engineering from an accredited university, plus a minimum of four to seven years of recent and related experience.

A Professional Engineering designation with Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia (EGBC) or with another province that is eligible for registration with EGBC.
An equivalent combination of education, related training, and experience may be considered.
