Austin Engineering hires two new recruits

Civil, structural, geotechnical and environmental engineering firm Austin Engineering, headquartered in Trail, B.C., has hired two new Engineers in Training (EITs) effective this month.

Amit Tiwari, who will rejoin Austin Engineering as the team’s Structural EIT, recently completed a student co-op program with the firm while completing his Masters in Engineering at the University of British Columbia. During the program, he gained experience in a variety of structural areas, having worked on several key projects for Fortis BC, BC Hydro, Teck, the City of Cranbrook and KC Recycling, as well as the Springbank Off-stream Reservoir (SR1) Project for the Government of Alberta.
