About the Role

The Site Geologist will integrate geological expertise into large-scale urban infrastructure construction, overseeing field operations and performing detailed geological mapping and bedrock assessments. This role ensures geological conditions are accurately interpreted, risks are managed, and project requirements are met.

Responsibilities

• Conduct geological face mapping during open-cut and SEM excavations in soil and bedrock.
• Apply structural geology expertise to evaluate joint features, ground conditions, and support classes (RMR, GSI, Q Barton value).
• Identify and recommend appropriate rock support measures to ensure stability of the exposed rock face.
• Support NATM/SEM tunneling activities, including participation in Permit-to-Tunnel meetings.
• Maintain detailed logs of drilling, mapping, and geological observations.
• Interpret geotechnical instrumentation data and contribute to Monitoring Action Team decisions.
• Prepare comprehensive technical reports outlining geological risks, findings, and construction implications.
• Collaborate with design teams to assess pile embedment, geological support classes, and excavation requirements.
• Review SEM and SOE design reports, RFIs, Field Change Requests, and Non-Conformance documentation.
• Develop practical technical solutions to meet construction and geological constraints.
• Work closely with Geotechnical Engineers, Project Managers, and Contractors to integrate geological considerations into construction planning.
• Communicate geological findings, recommendations, and risks to internal and external stakeholders.
• Support coordination between field operations and design teams to ensure seamless project execution.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, or related discipline.
• Currently registered in Ontario as P.Geo.
• P.Eng is a major asset.
• Demonstrated experience assessing bedrock conditions in major infrastructure or construction projects.
• Strong background in structural geology, with expertise in joint characterization and orientation analysis, and assessing the need of rock support installation (such as rock bolts, anchors, etc.).
• Practical experience with open-cut excavation and geotechnical classification systems (RMR, GSI, Q-System).
• Familiarity with Georgian Bay Formation geology or in similar Shale formations.
• NATM/SEM tunneling experience considered a strong asset.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in high-pressure, fast-moving construction environments.
• Proficiency with geological and geotechnical software (e.g., DIPS, UnWedge).
• FEM experience is an advantage.
