What does our engineering team do?

Our engineering team has delivered thousands of small dams across the country over the last 87 years. So much so that we now own over 6,000 water retaining structures responsible for the creation of over 1.2 million acres of wetland. This makes DUC the largest single dam owner in Canada in terms of sheer numbers.

The real strength of our talented group of highly qualified engineering professionals comes from their ability to function as a well-coordinated team that brings a combined wealth of diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives.

What will you do?

DUC is looking for a confident, energetic and dedicated Senior Engineering Technologist to join our team.

As a Senior Engineering Technologist, you will be responsible for drafting and surveying earthen dams & water control structure projects, working towards the retention of essential wetlands on the landscape. You will also support the engineering team with dam safety inspections and documentation – activities that appeal to you because you love a balance of office work and field work. You will have the opportunity to travel to remote field sites for inspections of small dams and water control structures as part of DUC’s dam safety mandate.
