Engineering Technologist

The Engineering Technologist in the Water Resources sector supports engineers in the design and documentation of water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects. This role focuses on translating preliminary concepts, sketches, and calculations into precise technical drawings using CAD software. The position requires close collaboration with engineers and project teams to prepare layouts, detail sheets, and as-built records for facilities such as pipelines, pump stations, treatment plants, drainage systems, and other water resource structures. The Engineering Technologist ensures accuracy, clarity, and compliance with established design standards while maintaining organized electronic and non-electronic drawing archives.
