Volunteer Opportunity
APEGGA’s Investigations Department is looking for APEGGA engineers, geologists and geophysicists to fill vacancies on its Investigative Committee. There is primarily a need for individuals with structural engineering experience, but all applicants will be considered.
These volunteers will serve a three-year term and are expected to attend committee meetings monthly – approximately 10 times each year. Meetings are normally one-half day each. Meeting locations alternate between APEGGA’s Calgary and Edmonton offices. Occasional travel will be required to attend meetings. Authorized travel expenses will be reimbursed. In addition to meetings, volunteers will be required to commit time to additional duties.
A summary of this committee’s activities can be found in the Annual Report on APEGGA’s website, www.apegga.org. The website can also provide the terms of reference for the committee.

We greatly appreciate all applications, however not all volunteers can be placed. Continuity of experience and specific representation from the three professions or specific disciplines may need to be accommodated.
