We are looking for a Senior Field Engineer/Inspector for the construction of a contaminated mine water treatment plant near the Town of Faro, Yukon , Canada. The Permanent Water Treatment Plant (PWTP) is a key part of the Faro Mine Remediation Project that is run by the Government of Canada. Jacobs has designed the PWTP for the Government of Canada and will serve as the Engineer of Record during construction. Any construction direction to the General Contractor must be through the Main Construction Manager (MCM). Jacobs primary role consists of field reviews, quality assurance, responding to RFIs, reviewing submittals, communicating with on-site stakeholders (contractor, MCM, Canada), and keeping the Engineers of Record (EoR’s) informed.

The expectation is that work will start virtually in February/March 2024 with design team discussions and project documentation familiarization. Field work will start in April to coincide with the construction period that will run from April to October in 2024. This role has the option of extending into future construction seasons. Construction will continue until the end of 2026, with commissioning planned for 2027. For the 2024 construction season, we are looking for an individual with construction experience involving concrete, rebar, and associated civil works. We are also looking for a technical lead/supervisor for our field team under a separate expression of interest that is also open now.

Primary responsibilities:

Report to the Jacobs’ Technical Lead/Supervisor on-site while working closely with and providing supervision to the junior field engineer. Mentorship will be important in this role.
Work closely with cross-shift staff to ensure consistent and complete handover at end of shift.
Complete daily on-site inspections of the construction work, and conduct information reconnaissance and field reviews for the Engineer of Record. The work in 2024 will consist primarily of excavation, backfilling, forming, re-bar, concrete pouring, compaction, site grading, trenching, and storm water management.
Lead Jacobs’ effort with respect to Quality Assurance, liaising with the EoR and MCM for requirements and Third-Party testing services. Sign-off on QA/QC reports and work with the EoR and MCM to resolve deficiencies.

• Minimum 15 years of experience, including concrete field inspection work, preferably on mine water remediation, industrial, or municipal water treatment projects.
