Job Description
The Opportunity
WSP is currently seeking a motivated Project Engineer or Project Technologist to join us in our growing Victoria Uptown office. This position will involve working on projects for a variety of public and private clients, including land development projects for residential and commercial, municipal water, wastewater, drainage, and roadway infrastructure projects, feasibility studies, and construction services. As a key member of a supportive and knowledgeable team, you will be given the opportunity to work directly with clients and approval agencies. This is an in-office position based out of Victoria, British Columbia and, while we welcome applicants from across Canada, successful candidates will be expected to be located within the southern Vancouver Island region.
Why Victoria?
• A collaborative group approach with a high level of technical support from colleagues, many of whom have been with the Vancouver Island team for over ten years
• Our Victoria Municipal team frequently sets up social events to foster a solid team atmosphere - some examples include pickleball at the Uptown courts, pub trivia nights, board game nights, company BBQs, and lunches to celebrate work anniversaries or other achievements
• As a relatively new professional entering the workforce, you will be welcome to join the WSP Developing Professionals Network (DPN), offering professional support and advice from other DPNs across the country
• The majority of our work is based on Vancouver Island, so you will be able to see firsthand the results of your efforts in improving our communities and share in local success stories
• Outstanding career opportunities - many of our current staff members started as new hires directly from post-secondary studies or junior positions and have moved into senior or management roles through their effort and dedication. We will support you in setting short- and long-term goals and work together on achieving your career aspirations
Why WSP?
We offer attractive pay, flexible work options, a great corporate culture, comprehensive and employee-focused benefits including virtual healthcare and a wellness platform as well as great savings programs, and a clear vision for the future
