Geotechnical Engineer in Training

Build the foundation for a lasting and successful career in geotechnical engineering by starting with a great team. When we say that we’re full-service, we mean it. You’ll find us in the office, on site and in the lab. We work indoors and out, above and below ground, over and under water, across projects large and small. From field exploration and laboratory testing to the design and construction management of complex geotechnical structures, our team does work that’s rock solid. Join our team today!

Your Opportunity

As a Geotechnical Engineer in Training, you will have the opportunity to work on engineering and geotechnical projects including major infrastructure projects in a multi-discipline team environment. Working in our Edmonton, Alberta office where many of Stantec’s design projects take place, in this role the candidate will have the opportunity to exercise their technical and interpersonal skills while growing in their career.

Geotechnical Engineers in Training typically start their careers with a focus on field work to develop technical understanding of soil and rock mechanics. With experience, field programs will become more complex, and you will take on additional responsibilities to support programs through project coordination and management, and by completing geotechnical engineering analysis and design. With a large geotechnical team spread across Western Canada, you will have the support of senior staff with extensive industry experience.

Your Key Responsibilities

• You will work with a team of engineers and technologists/technicians performing general geotechnical responsibilities.
• Perform geotechnical field investigations with support by senior staff, with tasks including obtaining permitting, field schedule coordination, and subcontractor coordination and supervision.
• Assist in development of scoping, budgeting, and scheduling for proposals.
• Compile field observation and sampling data.
• Assist in preparation of geotechnical reports and analyses including slope stability, trenchless crossings, shallow and deep foundation design.
• Work on projects across a variety of sectors including transportation infrastructure; civil infrastructure; industrial, buildings, and land development; energy and renewables; dams; and mining.
• Work alongside internal engineering design teams and provide support for multiple phases of project life cycles.
• Scheduling, scoping, budgeting, and coordinating with subcontractors.
