Description
Shape the future of Canada's largest mining, energy, and infrastructure projects by applying your blasting, vibration monitoring, and technical leadership expertise to complex, real-world challenges.
Your Impact
- Lead and deliver drilling, blasting, and blast vibration assessment projects from initiation through completion, ensuring alignment with scope, schedule, and budget.
- Develop, optimize, and review blast designs,including drill patterns, charge sizing, and timing sequences,to enhance fragmentation and support project performance.
- Apply geotechnical and geological assessments to inform blasting strategies, wall control, and environmental risk mitigation.
- Implement, interpret, and report on vibration, air overpressure, and flyrock monitoring programs for compliance and environmental protection.
- Prepare high-quality technical documentation: studies, reports, specifications, cost estimates, and client presentations.
- Mentor junior and intermediate professionals, sharing knowledge, guiding work, and fostering skill development.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across Rock Mechanics, Mining, and Environmental Management groups to deliver integrated project solutions.
- Engage with clients to present findings, respond to technical inquiries, and support long-term blasting programs through remote and on-site reviews.
- Advance WSP's profile by participating in industry conferences, technical work groups, and business development initiatives.
- Ensure compliance with all municipal, provincial, and federal regulations governing blasting operations and environmental protection.
The Skills That Set You Apart
- Bachelor's degree in Geological, Mining, or Civil Engineering with a blasting focus; Master's degree considered an asset.
- Active Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) membership.
