Junior Environmental Scientist

About Us

AllRock Consulting Ltd. is a fast growing and innovative geotechnical, materials and Environmental engineering company. AllRock’s geotechnical engineers, and materials specialists are focused on solving design, construction, and rehabilitation issues impacting the communities in which we work and live. By pairing cutting-edge site investigation technology with tried-and-true experience, we bring unparalleled expertise to the entire geotechnical spectrum—from planning and investigation, to execution and quality control.

AllRock works with clients in the pre-construction phases of a project to discover and examine what lies beneath their construction project. Our team collaborates with clients during the design phases to ensure they have all the geotechnical information needed to complete a successful project. This information allows projects to be completed on time and on budget, by working through problems upfront rather than during construction.

AllRock is proud to say that we are a 100% owned and operated Mi'kmaq First Nations company. The Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nations & Millbrook Mi'kmaq First Nations are proudly represented through our owners and senior management. We are proud to be registered as a Certified Aboriginal Business with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business. Indigenous candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
