With the Association

Government Relations Advisory Committee (GRAC) - Multiple Positions GRAC assists and advises the Director of Government Relations on provincial government and rural and urban municipality community relations, lobbying activities, and on operational planning for the Department.

The committee is looking for members; professional geoscientists (P.Geo.), engineers (P.Eng.) or interns in good standing with the Association, from various disciplines, who are committed to developing a good relationship with government while supporting the philosophy, strategy, and actions of the Association. Committee members are particularly needed who have a background in analyzing and applying legislation, regulations, and codes, and who can be called upon to analyze draft bills, regulations, and codes for their potential impact upon the Association and/or its members/practitioners.

Competency-Based Assessors - Multiple Positions EngGeoMB is seeking additional assessors, to conduct a final review of an applicant's Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) report, by providing their own ratings for each of the competencies and make a recommendation on the applicant's readiness for professional registration.

We are seeking professional members in good standing, who are working in a supervisory capacity, and are receiving remuneration on a full-time or regular basis (greater than 300 hours per calendar year).

Professional members of all disciplines are encouraged to apply, but those who have expertise in the following areas are currently in need: Engineering: Water Resources with experience in water treatment plants, Oil & Gas, and Industrial. Geoscience: All disciplines. [more]
