A Senior Engineering Geologist within QISG is involved in a variety of geo‑structural engineering projects with a focus on foundation engineering and an emphasis on design‑build delivery methods for large‑scale energy generation and transmission‑related projects. Collaborating with an in‑house, multi‑disciplinary engineering and construction team—including civil, structural, geotechnical, GIS, construction management, and construction experts—a Senior Engineering Geologist plays a crucial role in providing geo‑structural design solutions for large‑scale projects;

responsibilities include overseeing and supporting design production, development of construction drawings and specifications, engineering support during construction, and interacting with key project stakeholders as a leader within the geostructural engineering team. This office‑based position focuses on executing pre‑construction geotechnical investigations, geologic hazard assessments, geotechnical engineering calculations and modelling, and design document development to support foundation, retaining wall and general civil construction.

The Senior Engineering Geologist will apply standard and advanced engineering principles to solve complex problems, utilizing sound geotechnical engineering judgment and digital technologies to develop economical solutions and communicate effectively with project management, technical, construction, and company personnel as well as company leadership.

• Support a team of engineering geologists, geotechnical engineers, and staff, providing guidance, training, and performance evaluations.
• Execute assignments requiring application of standard and advanced engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria to carry out geo‑structural engineering tasks.
• Interface closely with other project‑level and senior leadership personnel within the company, including geotechnical, geological, structural, transmission line, substation, and civil engineering, GIS, and construction management team members.
• Participate in oversight and management of field subcontractor activities, such as geotechnical drilling and testing and/or forensics studies.
• Develop written reports and/or provide verbal communication of information in a professional and appropriate manner.
• Develop and manage project budgets, monitor expenses, and ensure cost‑effective solutions.
• Take responsible charge of geologic hazard modelling for geotechnical design, including seismic/fault characterization and flood/scour modelling.
• Implement and oversee quality control procedures to ensure the highest standards of workmanship and materials.
• Work under supervision of Engineering Director or Engineering Manager in a professional office setting.
• Perform special projects and complete other job‑related duties as assigned.

• Bachelor of Science degree (BS) in Geologic Science or related field.
• Professional Geologist (PG) and/or Specialty (ChG, EG) licensure.
