Sr. Civil Engineer

Level: Senior | Type: Direct Hire | Location: Prince George, British Columbia | Range: $130,000

The role

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 will bring a minimum of 10 years of consulting experience across multiple divisions and sectors, and at least 7 years of Canadian project experience.

This is a general civil role spanning transportation, municipal, site development, airports, and water, not structural, for a leader who can design, manage, and build lasting client partnerships in northern BC.

What you will own

• 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 Prince George team supports a range of civil projects across municipalities, airports, industrial, water, and site development
• 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 covering scope, schedule, budget, and risk, including construction-phase input and oversight
• Own client account management: develop scopes and fees, lead progress reviews, resolve issues early, and expand relationships
• Drive business development: lead and author proposals, support account planning, and represent the practice in the region
• Mentor and upskill engineers, EITs, and technologists, and model a culture of safety, collaboration, and quality

What we require

• 10+ years in consulting with multi-divisional exposure, for example transportation, municipal, site development, airports, industrial, and water. Structural specialization is not required
• 7+ years of Canadian project experience with working knowledge of BC, TAC, and MMCD standards and provincial and municipal approvals
• Proven client-facing leadership. You are 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, and experience as a mentor and team builder
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field
• Civil design and modeling tools: AutoCAD, Civil 3D, AutoTURN
• GIS and MS Office for planning, analysis, and reporting
• Northern British Columbia residency

What will set you apart

• Master's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field
• Traffic and workflow tools: Synchro, VISSIM
• Water resources tools: HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, StormCAD, WaterCAD, PondPack
• Local context and a community mindset for a remote, resource-driven region

Location and work style

• Northern British Columbia. This environment rewards resilience and a community mindset, and your designs directly support the needs of a remote, resource-driven region
• Some regional travel for client and site meetings is expected
• Office-based with periodic field presence as projects require

What success looks like in 12 to 18 months

• You are the go-to for clients across multiple sectors, with strong CSAT and repeat work
• Projects are delivered on scope, schedule, and budget with robust risk and quality controls
• The local team is growing and leveling up, with clear development plans, stronger delivery rhythms, and well-documented best practices
• You are actively transitioning into practice leadership, owning resource planning, forecasting, and strategic account growth
