The Opportunity

A Role that Matters — Join us in delivering innovative solutions that transform communities and create lasting change. From sustainability-focused projects to groundbreaking infrastructure work, you'll play a key role in shaping our future—and yours.

As an Environmental Engineer/Geoscientist with WSP's Mine Water & Environment team, you will help address complex environmental challenges at legacy, abandoned, and operating mine sites in Canada and internationally. Based in British Columbia, Alberta, or Yukon, you will support and lead contaminated sites projects spanning site characterization, permitting, remedial planning, and remediation design.

You will combine technical insight, project coordination, field-program planning, and mentorship to turn complex datasets into practical solutions. Working alongside environmental scientists, engineers, geoscientists, and other specialists, you will help clients manage environmental risk and create safer, more sustainable outcomes for mine-affected lands.
