Wil Hilsen, PGeo

Principal, Geomorphologist

Nanaimo, BC

Coastal Engineering and Shoreline Protection, Flood Hazard Assessment and Risk Management, Geomorphology and Geosciences, River Engineering, Floodplain and Sediment Management

Based in our Nanaimo, BC office, I provide technical support and manage projects across British Columbia. As a geomorphologist, I focus on observing, interpreting, and assessing channel and coastal processes to understand how these processes can influence flooding and erosion issues. I was formerly the Public Works Manager for a small community in coastal BC, and my local government experience offers a unique perspective in working with clients and regulatory agencies. My recent projects have involved flood and erosion hazard assessment, and mitigation planning and implementation. When not working, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, swimming, diving, and the occasional surf trip.
