The Opportunity

Shape Something Different - Step into a hands‑on field role where you support the planning, installation, and maintenance of wells that power environmental remediation, groundwater management, and infrastructure development across the region.

  • Collaborate closely with engineers, project managers, hydrogeologists, and fellow technicians to achieve project milestones.

The Skills That Set You Apart

  • Hands‑on experience in monitoring well construction, drilling, environmental fieldwork, groundwater, or related activities (typically 3+ years in a technician or drilling‑support role).
  • Valid Well Technician Class 3 certification (or eligibility) in the province.
  • Valid AZ or DZ driver’s licence (or provincial equivalent) with the ability to operate heavy vehicles safely.
  • Experience documenting well construction, filling out well records in accordance with Reg. 903.
  • Ability to work outdoors in variable weather, travel to remote project sites, and adapt to project‑driven schedules.
  • A technical background such as rig maintenance, or equivalent on‑the‑job field experience.
  • Comfortable using tablets or laptops to complete digital field forms, photo logs, and daily summaries.
  • A commitment to safe work practices and environmental stewardship.
  • Proudly Canadian – we are a Top 100 Employer in Canada for 2026.
  • A global community of brilliant minds – your next idea, mentor, or opportunity is always within reach.
