Welcome to CIMA+

At CIMA+, we are seeking a skilled Intermediate/Senior Geotechnical Engineer to join our Earth and Environment team in Calgary, Alberta. The successful candidate will work within multidisciplinary teams on a variety of challenging and rewarding projects, contributing to the planning, design, and delivery of geotechnical engineering solutions across Alberta and Western Canada.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to further develop both technical expertise and project management skills in a collaborative, supportive environment. Depending on experience, the successful candidate will lead or support geotechnical investigations, technical analyses, reporting, design recommendations, construction support, client coordination, and the mentorship of junior staff.

Projects may include roads, buildings, municipal infrastructure, hydraulic structures, dams, slope stabilization, soil dynamics, earthworks, retaining structures, foundations, and erosion protection. You will have the opportunity to work with both public and private sector clients.
