Executive Summary
A civil engineer specialized in hydraulics, this candidate brings solid expertise in the design and modeling of potable water, wastewater, and stormwater networks, as well as in the supervision of infrastructure construction sites.
He stands out for his strong interest in remote-area projects, technically demanding environments, and high-impact territorial missions. He is now seeking to contribute to northern or interprovincial projects in the mining, energy, or municipal sectors, within a structured, field-oriented, and solution-driven organization.
Key Competencies / Tools Mastered
-
Hydraulic modeling (PCSWMM, Epanet, Aqua data, InfoWater, WaterGEMS)
-
Design of water networks, retention basins, and stormwater structures
-
Cost estimation, technical specifications, and project coordination
-
Site supervision and liaison with external stakeholders
-
Familiar with Quebec standards (MTQ, BNQ)
-
Strong stress management and adaptability to remote environments
Key Achievements
-
Conducted stormwater drainage and water management studies for industrial and extraction projects in environmentally sensitive areas, using advanced modeling tools (PCSWMM) and preparing regulatory documentation.
-
Performed full assessments of drinking and fire water networks as part of infrastructure expansion projects with high user flow, factoring in logistical and pressure-related constraints.
-
Developed a post-flood master plan to enhance the hydraulic resilience of an at-risk municipality, integrating modeling, flood scenarios, and actionable technical recommendations.
-
Provided on-site quality supervision for a major remote-area road infrastructure project, including materials inspection, non-conformity management, and coordination with project stakeholders.
-
Led hydraulic studies for networks located in steep or underserved terrain, with tailored system sizing based on topography and performance reliability requirements.
-
Delivered over 50 technical studies across diverse contexts (industrial, municipal, residential, education), always with a strong focus on compliance, reliability, and environmental impact.
Target Sectors / Company Types
-
Municipal civil engineering in northern environments
-
Hydraulic infrastructure linked to mining or energy projects
-
Hydro networks, dams, stormwater structures
-
Roads, airports, and technical works in remote territories
-
Industrial or public-sector projects in isolated regions
Why This Profile?
This candidate perfectly embodies the kind of professional sought for remote area projects: reliable, autonomous, technically strong, and quick to adapt to complex environments.
A civil engineer specialized in hydraulics, he is equally skilled in modeling and field supervision, with a strong grasp of compliance requirements, tight delivery timelines, and interdisciplinary coordination. As an OIQ member, bilingual, and already experienced in isolated contexts, he is ready to commit long-term to a high-impact project—whether through rotation or relocation.
His ability to independently manage technical files makes him a safe and valuable asset for any company operating in the mining, energy, or infrastructure sectors in Northern Quebec or other provinces.
