Background

About Tristan Townsend

I’m a Geological Engineer-in-Training with over five years of experience in geotechnical engineering, specializing in mine tailings dam construction and quality assurance. I’ve worked extensively in the field on large-scale mining projects across Canada, contributing to construction oversight, foundation approvals, geotechnical investigations, and technical reporting. Currently completing my technical exams through Engineers Canada, I bring a hybrid background in geology and engineering — combining strong field expertise with sound technical judgment to support safe, efficient, and regulatory-compliant mine infrastructure. My work includes coordinating CQA programs, managing as-built documentation, and collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure design intent is met on site. Based in Nova Scotia, Canada | Actively pursuing P.Eng. designation
