Junior Engineers & Geoscientists - All US Locations

Summary

BGC Engineering Inc. is an international applied earth sciences professional services firm. The company is seeking junior engineers and geoscientists to perform a combination of field and office work, including site investigations, construction monitoring, data interpretation, engineering and geoscience analysis, reporting, and design contributions across mining, pipelines, transportation, energy, and community projects.

Responsibilities

• Junior engineers and geoscientists at BGC can expect a mix of field and office work that supports a wide variety of clients in the mining, pipelines, transportation, energy, and community sectors, completed under the guidance of technical experts. Typical field work includes site investigations (including drilling and downhole testing, testing pitting, lab testing, geophysical surveys, instrumentation installation, river/stream inspection, and geohazard assessment) and construction monitoring (including dam, pond, and ditch construction, fill placement, foundation excavation, assessment and approval, and instrumentation installations and monitoring). Field work could range from a couple days up to approximately 2-week long field stints in remote areas, and multiple shifts, or a scheduled rotation. Typical office work includes reporting and interpretation of field data, engineering or geoscience analysis including material and site characterization, interpretation of instrumentation data, and contribution to designs
• Geotechnical investigation, assessment, design, and construction monitoring at mine sites for waste management facilities (e.g. tailings), open pits, underground excavations, access roads, and building foundations. Work could include foundation inspection, oversight of material placement and design conformance as well as interpretation of field or instrumentation data, seepage, slope stability and deposition analysis, reporting and data reduction, and preparing construction drawings and specifications
• Geohazard, geotechnical and hydrotechnical assessments for various pipeline, transportation, community, and power projects. Work could include preliminary hazard inventories (i.e. terrain mapping), site investigation through to detailed design and construction of mitigation works
• Surface and groundwater assessments for environmental baseline studies, water supply projects, design of remediation works (built and natural environments), design and construction of water management infrastructure, balance studies, hydrologic assessments, and geohazard risk assessments
