Senior Stormwater/Water Resources Engineer (Hybrid)

We are looking for a senior stormwater/water resources engineer who wants to help build something in Alberta. KWL’s Alberta stormwater work is growing, and we are looking for someone who can bring senior judgment to complex municipal and community problems: aging stormwater infrastructure and asset management, retrofit and rehabilitation projects, LID/GSI implementation, flood and drainage planning, water quality expectations, climate resilience, and projects where the “standard answer” may not be the right one.
