About the role
:
SYSTRA Canada is part of the SYSTRA group, an international consulting and engineering group, a world leader in the design of transport infrastructures. SYSTRA Canada is an engineering and consulting firm whose primary focus is to offer transportation solutions, whether for passengers or goods: feasibility studies of building a new railway line, increasing the capacity of the existing infrastructure, privatization of a railway.
Context:
The ALTO project is a major infrastructure initiative in Canadian history, aimed at developing over 1,000 km of new passenger rail service between major urban centers, including Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City.
Missions/Main Duties:
- Act as a technical expert and project manager for hydrological and hydraulic studies related to railway projects, including risk analyses (flood, erosion, bank stability), hydraulic modeling, and the sizing/design of structures in compliance with standards.
- Supervise and mentor engineering teams, ensure quality deliverables, and oversee field activities (surveys, inspections, measurements).
- Prepare and review technical documentation, contribute to proposals, and coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, clients, partners, and regulatory bodies.
- Support the analysis of climate change impacts and recommend adaptation strategies, while actively participating in technology monitoring and innovation in modeling and risk management.
Profile/Skills:
Education : Master’s degree in water science, hydrotechnics, water resources, environmental sciences, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Years of experience : Minimum 10 years experience in hydrotechnical engineering applied to transport infrastructure projects, including the management of complex projects.
Technical competencies :
- Demonstrated expertise in hydrological analysis, hydraulic modeling (HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, PCSWMM, MIKE, InfoWorks, etc.), and the analysis of hydrometeorological data.
- Experience in the design and sizing of hydraulic structures (culverts, bridges, retention basins, erosion protection, etc.).
- Proficiency in applicable provincial (MTQ, MTO, MELCCFP, etc.) and federal standards and guidelines.
- Asset: experience in environmental compensation project management, climate change adaptation, or research and development.
- Clear verbal and written communication skills, both in French and in English*
- Reasons for requiring bilingualism: You will have the opportunity to work with a varied clientele, including both French- and English-speaking companies. Bilingualism is therefore fundamental to building strong relationships with our customers, understanding their specific needs, communicating effectively in their preferred language and facilitating strategic meetings.
Personal and soft skills :
