Our client is seeking a senior civil engineering leader to anchor their British Columbia office and step into a succession path for the current practice lead. You’ll bring a minimum of 10 years of consulting experience across multiple divisions/sectors and at least 7 years of Canadian project experience. This is a general civil role (transportation/municipal/site development/airports/water), not structural, for a leader who can design, manage, and build lasting client partnerships in northern BC. Succession track: Grow into the local practice lead role, guiding strategy, client accounts, delivery, and team development. Broad project mix: While aligned under Transportation, the team supports a range of civil projects across municipalities, airports, industrial, water, and site development. Community impact: Work where your designs directly support the needs of a remote, resource-driven region. Northern British Columbia residency is required, and local context matters. What you’ll do Lead and review civil design deliverables (reports, drawings, models, calculations) and provide design management across transportation and municipal infrastructure projects. Oversee permitting and approvals, coordinate with authorities, contractors, and stakeholders, and seal work as appropriate. Run full-cycle project management (scope, schedule, budget, risk), including construction-phase input and oversight. Own client account management: develop scopes/fees, lead progress reviews, resolve issues early, and expand relationships. Drive business development: lead/author proposals, support account planning, and represent the practice in the region. Mentor and upskill engineers/EITs/technologists; model a culture of safety, collaboration, and quality. What you’ll bring 10+ years in consulting with multi-divisional exposure (e.g., transportation, municipal, site development, airports, industrial, water); structural specialization is not required. 7+ years of Canadian project experience with working knowledge of BC/TAC/MMCD standards and provincial/municipal approvals. Proven client-facing leadership: you’re comfortable owning portfolios, guiding strategy, and growing accounts. Strong command of project economics (scoping, fees, forecasts, cost control) and quality management. P.Eng. in BC (or eligibility for registration with EGBC). Excellent communication and people leadership skills; experienced mentor and team builder. Tools & platforms Civil design & modeling: AutoCAD, Civil 3D, AutoTURN. Traffic/workflow: Synchro, VISSIM (asset). Water resources: HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, StormCAD, WaterCAD, PondPack (assets). GIS and MS Office for planning, analysis, and reporting. Location & work style Northern British Columbia - this environment rewards resilience and a community mindset. Some regional travel for client/site meetings is expected. Office-based with periodic field presence as projects require. Education Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (or related) required; Master’s an asset. Licensed P.Eng. in British Columbia (or immediately eligible). What success looks like in 12–18 months You’re the go-to for clients across multiple sectors, with strong CSAT and repeat work. Projects are delivered on scope/schedule/budget with robust risk and quality controls. The local team is growing and leveling up, clear development plans, stronger delivery rhythms, and well-documented best practices. You’re actively transitioning into practice leadership, owning resource planning, forecasting, and strategic account growth. Compensation & benefits Competitive package aligned with seniority and leadership track; details shared during the interview process.
