The Opportunity

Your Impact Starts Here - In the Canadian Prairies, water is at the centre of some of the most pressing climate, infrastructure, and community-driven challenges in Canada. At WSP, these aren't assignments other firms struggle to staff, they're the projects that build careers. As a Water Resources Engineer you'll join a region known at WSP for accelerating growth and exposing engineers to high-impact, high-complexity work earlier and more meaningfully than competitors.

Here in the Prairies & North, you'll contribute to nationally significant water-management work, partner with Indigenous water authorities advancing self-determined water governance, and tackle climate-driven hydrology problems that redefine the profession. This isn't a detour or a compromise - it's the chapter that sets you apart.

If you live in Edmonton, Calgary, or Saskatoon, this is your moment to turn Prairie & Northern water work into the most defining chapter of your career.

Apply now and make your mark with WSP.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• A degree in Civil Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Environmental Science, Geography, Geomatics, or a related discipline.
  
• Eligibility or intent to register with APEGA or the provincial engineering association for SK.5-10 years of experience in water resources, operational water management, hydrology, or hydraulics.
  
• Proficiency in GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS), CAD, and tools such as Global Mapper.
