• Diagnose and evaluate complex geotechnical challenges including settlement behavior, slope stability, liquefaction potential, frost heave, interstitial overpressure, excavation planning, and earthworks procedures.
• Guide project delivery from scoping to execution — preparing bid documents, evaluating proposals, engaging subcontractors, and supporting multi‑disciplinary teams.
• Collaborate across WSP's national and global network to share knowledge and deliver innovative, practical solutions for clients and communities.
