## Description

We are seeking a Geophysics Professional to join our Water Management team in Calgary, Alberta. As a Geophysics Professional, you will bring near-surface geophysics to life across engineering and environmental projects throughout the Prairies and North.

**The Opportunity**

You will lead field programs, technical interpretation, and collaborative solutions that help clients better understand the ground beneath critical projects.

**Your Impact**

- Lead geophysical field teams and deliver ground surveys using various methods, including seismic reflection and refraction, MASW, time-domain electromagnetics, electrical resistivity imaging, magnetics, ground penetrating radar, electromagnetics, and microgravity methods on land, in boreholes, and over water.

- Manage program logistics, equipment, seismic sources, receivers, electromagnetic instruments, and borehole tools to support safe and efficient field execution.

- Review field data through rigorous quality assurance and quality control, then guide junior staff through processing and analysis.

- Process, analyze, and integrate geophysical data with multidisciplinary datasets to produce clear, defensible interpretations.

- Prepare technical reports, memoranda, presentations, proposals, and scopes that help clients make informed project decisions.

- Mentor junior geophysicists and technicians in field acquisition, data processing, interpretation, and safe work practices.

- Collaborate with engineering and environmental specialists to expand geophysical solutions across diverse client sectors.

- Champion WSP safety protocols and procedures during frequent fieldwork, including assignments in remote and outdoor environments.

**The Skills That Set You Apart**

- A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Geological Engineering, or a related discipline with a geophysics focus; a postgraduate geophysics qualification is an asset.

- Five to ten years of experience applying geophysics to near-surface engineering and geoscience projects.

- Practical or learned experience with at least four relevant methods, including seismic refraction, seismic reflection, MASW, ERI, ground penetrating radar, geophysical borehole logging, time- or frequency-domain electromagnetics, airborne geophysics, or nuclear magnetic resonance.

- Demonstrated capability in field data quality control, geophysical processing, multidisciplinary integration, interpretation, and technical reporting.

- Experience leading teams, coordinating field logistics and equipment, and supporting the development of junior professionals.

- Readiness to travel frequently for fieldwork, approximately 50% to 75%, and to work outdoors in remote areas.

- Physical fitness and mechanical aptitude, together with practical experience using computers, electronics, and geophysical instrumentation.

- A safety-focused approach and the ability to communicate technical findings clearly to internal and external clients.

- A valid driver licence and a clean driver abstract.

- Successful completion of pre-access drug and alcohol testing requirements as needed for client/site.
