Hydrotechnical EIT

HYDROTECHNICAL ENGINEER-IN-TRAINING (EIT) Rivers, floods, dams, and mine water management, with real mentorship toward your P.Eng.

Vancouver, BC About the role PRI is looking for a Hydrotechnical EIT to join our Hydrotechnical practice.

You will work on rivers, floods, and dams: hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, flood hazard assessment, dam safety, and mine water management, under the direct mentorship of senior Professional Engineers.

Dams and mining are a significant part of what we do.

We complete Dam Safety Reviews and inspections for water retention dams and tailings storage facilities, and support mine water management at operating and closed sites.

It is high-consequence work with clear standards behind it, which makes it an excellent place to develop rigour early.

Compile and analyze hydrometric and climate data, and carry out flood frequency and design flow analyses.

Build and run hydrologic and hydraulic models under senior direction, including one-dimensional and two-dimensional river models.

Support Dam Safety Reviews and dam safety inspections, inflow design flood analysis, dam breach and inundation mapping, and spillway and outlet works hydraulics.

Support mine water management, including site-wide water balance, diversions, and hydrology for tailings facilities and water management ponds.

Contribute to floodplain mapping, flood hazard assessment, river engineering, erosion protection, and drainage and stormwater design.

Carry out field work including stream and cross-section surveys, hydrometric monitoring, culvert inventories, dam safety inspections, and mine site visits.

Prepare draft memos, calculations, figures, and mapping for senior review, and build your competencies toward EGBC P.Eng. registration.

What you bring Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil, Water Resources, or Environmental Engineering with a hydrotechnical, hydrology, or hydraulics focus.
