Civil/Stormwater Engineer

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Our client is looking for a Civil/Stormwater Engineer who is strong in municipal servicing design and can jump into active projects involving stormwater infrastructure, servicing layouts, and green infrastructure integration. This role focuses on hands-on design work for site development, park and greenfield projects, and complex urban sites with unique stormwater challenges—ideal for someone who enjoys solving site-specific challenges and collaborating closely with municipal clients, senior engineers, and junior staff.

PERKS:

• Flexible Work Options: Hybrid work environment, create your own schedule, work from any of 5 offices, and work remotely outside Canada for up to 30 days per year.
• Compensation & Ownership: Competitive salary, generous performance-based bonus, and share ownership eligibility.
• Health & Wellness: Excellent extended health, dental, vision, health care spending account, annual health & wellness allowance, and Employee & Family Assistance Program (24/7 support).
• Retirement & Savings: Group Savings Matching Plan (GRSP/TFSA).
• Career & Development: Career coaching, professional development support, and direct mentorship from experienced teammates.
• Culture & Team: Employee-centric culture with sports participation, team memberships, and team-building activities.
• Relocation Support: Available if applicable.

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY:

A typical day includes a mix of design, coordination, and client interaction, with the focus firmly on site and servicing design:

• Designing municipal stormwater and civil servicing infrastructure
  (culverts, storm sewers, detention/ponds, road/servicing layouts)
• Preparing stormwater management plans (site-level + some watershed context)
• Developing drawings, technical memos, and design briefs
• Coordinating with internal civil, geotechnical, and landscape teams
• Supporting municipal clients and explaining design decisions clearly
• Conducting hydrologic/hydraulic assessments (spreadsheet calcs; modeling context is helpful, but you will not be doing full modelling)
• Preparing cost estimates and capital improvement plans
• Providing construction support (site reviews, responding to contractor questions)
• Delegating to and mentoring junior staff
• Contributing to technical reports and proposals

WHAT IS A MUST:

These are essential, and candidates should be confident in them on day one:

• P.Eng. in BC
• 4–8 years of experience in civil/municipal servicing design or stormwater design
• Experience preparing stormwater management plans (subdivision or site level)
• Strong experience in municipal servicing design (stormwater + civil servicing)
• Hands-on stormwater design experience for site development (culverts, sewers, ponds, layouts)
• Ability to work through complex/unconventional sites
• Solid understanding of hydrology & hydraulics (spreadsheet-based calcs)
• Strong communication skills with municipal clients and internal teams
• Ability to perform occasional local field reviews.
• Valid driver’s license;

WHAT CAN BE LEARNED ON THE JOB:

• Green Infrastructure (GI/LID) specifics — they will teach this
• Detailed hydrologic/hydraulic modeling (PC-SWMM, etc.) — helpful but not core to this role
• Capital planning, estimating, and proposals
• Construction review experience (can learn)
• Mentorship/supervision of junior staff
• Coordination with landscape/geotech disciplines
• Policy development or large-scale planning (not a main part of this role)

COMPENSATION: $104,000-$120,000
