Location: Calgary Office
Position Summary
SweetTech Engineering Consultants is seeking an Intermediate Civil Engineer to join our Calgary team. The ideal candidate has approximately 3 to 6 years of experience in civil engineering, with a strong foundation in water resources, hydrotechnical design, and drainage. You may hold your P.Eng. designation or be an EIT actively working toward registration with APEGA or EGBC. This role offers meaningful hands-on involvement in a wide range of water-related and civil engineering projects across Western Canada, from stormwater drainage and flood mitigation to site servicing, water resource studies, and water management on mining development projects.
