This mapping and its interpretation are crucial for the design and execution of the work.
By participating in the Blue Line project, you will contribute to the growth of new and ongoing Pomerleau projects, while challenging industry standards through your field-focused technical expertise. Once your assignment on the Blue Line project is completed, and depending on the project pipeline, you will be assigned to mandates across the country that require geological expertise. You will be involved in large-scale building and infrastructure construction projects, with values ranging from $1.5 million to over $1 billion.

• Analyze available geological data for the project.
• Demonstrate excellent communication and strong engagement within the team, both internally and with client representatives.
• Participate in the evaluation and design of geological monitoring plans.
• Interpret instrumentation data and deformations caused by underground works.
• Assist subcontractors in preparing detailed geological mapping to meet project requirements.
