Civil Engineer, Municipal Engineering
WSP, Whitehorse, YT
Job Description
The Opportunity:
WSP is currently seeking for an experienced Professional Civil Engineer for our Land Development and Municipal Engineering group. This position is based in our Whitehorse office, reporting to the Manager, LDME, Infrastructure. This position will be responsible to work on municipal projects with a focus on mostly public clients involving water and wastewater systems, storm water management, municipal roads, and land development.
This is your opportunity to join a premier consulting firm in a location with short commutes, and world class outdoor adventure opportunities right from your doorstep. Whitehorse is a small city and the capital of the Yukon Territory. Whitehorse amenities include a vibrant downtown, an active music and arts community, schools, a university, parks, gyms, arenas, an indoor running track, an international airport, and many kilometers of cross-country ski trails.
Surrounded by mountains and wilderness, outdoor recreation includes fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, skiing and snowmobiling. Housing is more affordable than in many southern Canadian cites, and easy commutes within the city leave time and money available to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. If this sounds interesting, we want to hear from you.
This is a Whitehorse, Yukon based position. We welcome applicants from across Canada; relocation assistance to Whitehorse will be considered.
Why choose 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.
