We are seeking an Eco-hydraulic & Physical Environment Engineer to work in Water Resources Department. Under the general
direction of the Environmental Engineering & Geospatial Technology Services Section Head, you will be responsible for planning,
coordinating, and performing hydrotechnical studies related to eco-hydraulics and physical environment processes. These
responsibilities connect physical processes in aquatic and semiaquatic ecosystems with biological functions, as it relates to the
development of new hydropower facilities, asset management (rehabilitation), renewal/maintenance of existing licenses (Water
Power Act, Fisheries Act, etc.), and for the operation flexibility of existing facilities.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Graduate in Civil/Environmental Engineering from a university of recognized standing with a minimum of six years of

progressive related engineering experience.
