Our Mission: Your Growth
Riposte is built on building connections. We'll connect you with well-matched secondment opportunities that allow you to grow and thrive professionally.
Mission
Riposte was established for technical professionals by technical professionals.
With over 15 years in the geotechnical engineering, oil sands, and mining industries, our team is dedicated to uplifting technical professionals by helping them achieve their career goals.
We provide secondment opportunities with well-matched managers and teams, so that you are set up for success and growth. During secondment terms, we provide active and dedicated professional development and mentorship.
We also offer career coaching, résumé review, and interview practice for individuals.
Riposte was founded to bridge the gap between technical work and business impact.
As a secondment-based consulting firm, our goal is to help high-performing professionals join teams where they can thrive, by supporting their professional growth along the way.
We help individual contributors communicate their impact to their leaders, and we help managers build high-performing, engaged teams.

"Melissa's coaching helped me navigate workplace politics with empathy and intent. I am now better able to handle stressful situations, imposter syndrome, and most importantly, she helped me realize what I really wanted in a career.
I’m expanding my skill set and stepping into project management. I get to use my brain, and I’m way more fulfilled in my career than I ever was. I no longer count down the days until I get to go home, I look forward to coming into the office and continuing the projects which are mine and I get to see through from start to finish."
