Position overview

A well-established, growth-oriented engineering firm in Markham is seeking a Senior Structural Engineer and Engineering Department Lead to direct the design, review and delivery of structural steel-building projects. This position is intended for an accomplished structural engineer who can combine advanced technical judgment with professional accountability, project leadership and team management. The successful candidate will review complex structural designs, provide technical direction to engineers and drafters, coordinate with clients and construction teams, and sign and seal engineering documents within their area of competence. The ideal candidate has extensive experience with pre-engineered steel buildings, structural steel framing, concrete foundations, mezzanines and associated structural systems.

Key responsibilities

Structural engineering and design review Lead the structural design and technical review of pre-engineered steel buildings, conventional structural steel systems, foundations, mezzanines and related components Perform and review structural calculations for gravity, wind, snow, seismic and applicable collateral loads Review architectural and construction drawings for structural coordination, constructability and code compliance Evaluate structural details, connections, load paths and foundation requirements Provide practical engineering solutions that balance safety, compliance, constructability, schedule and project cost

Professional responsibility and sealing

Assume professional responsibility for engineering work completed under your supervision Review, approve, sign and seal structural calculations, drawings, reports and other engineering documents in accordance with Ontario requirements Maintain complete and defensible engineering records Ensure all professional services comply with PEO obligations, applicable legislation, building codes and engineering standards Maintain appropriate quality-assurance and document-control procedures

Department leadership

Lead, mentor and develop engineers, structural designers and drafters Assign and prioritize departmental workloads based on technical complexity, capacity and project deadlines Establish clear technical expectations and review standards Monitor project progress, identify risks and resolve technical or scheduling obstacles Foster a culture of professional accountability, accuracy and continuous improvement

Project management and coordination

Manage multiple structural projects from initial assessment through final engineering deliverables Coordinate with clients, architects, contractors, fabricators, building officials and internal departments Confirm project scope, design criteria, deliverables and technical requirements Communicate engineering decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders Support projects in remaining within approved scope and schedule

Site and construction support

Conduct occasional site visits, field reviews and structural assessments Review field conditions and respond to technical questions during fabrication and construction Prepare field-review reports and recommend appropriate corrective measures when required Coordinate design revisions arising from site conditions while maintaining proper documentation and professional oversight

Process and quality improvement

Improve design-review procedures, engineering templates and departmental workflows Standardize calculations, drawing-review practices and quality-control checkpoints Identify opportunities to reduce rework and improve project-delivery efficiency Support the responsible adoption of engineering software and technology

Required technical qualifications

Active Ontario P.Eng. licence in good standing Minimum 10 years of progressively responsible structural engineering experience Significant experience with structural steel and pre-engineered metal building systems Strong knowledge of applicable requirements under the Ontario Building Code and National Building Code of Canada Working knowledge of relevant standards, including CSA S16, CSA S136 and CSA A23.3 Demonstrated experience designing or reviewing steel-building foundations and mezzanine systems Experience signing and sealing structural engineering documents Proven experience leading technical teams and reviewing work prepared by others Ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines and competing priorities Strong written and verbal communication skills Ability to occasionally travel to project sites

Software requirements

Candidates should possess strong proficiency with

MBS or comparable metal-building engineering software AutoCAD ETABS SAFE SAP2000 Microsoft Office

Experience with the following is highly desirable

Tekla Structures Advance Steel Other structural-analysis, connection-design or BIM platforms Candidates are not required to be equally advanced in every listed program, but must demonstrate strong structural-analysis capabilities and the ability to work effectively within a modern engineering and drafting environment.

Performance expectations

Performance will be evaluated against the following outcomes

Technical accuracy: Structural designs and reviews are complete, accurate and defensible Regulatory compliance: Engineering documents consistently satisfy applicable codes, standards and professional obligations Project delivery: Engineering deliverables are completed within established scopes and schedules Quality assurance: Technical risks, inconsistencies and omissions are identified before documents are issued Leadership: Engineers, designers and drafters receive clear direction, effective mentorship and timely technical decisions Coordination: Clients, contractors and internal stakeholders receive accurate and responsive engineering support Field effectiveness: Design intent is translated into practical, constructible solutions Process improvement: Departmental efficiency, standardization and quality improve over time

What we offer

Permanent, full-time employment CA$100,000 annual salary Extended health-care coverage Dental-care coverage Senior technical and departmental leadership responsibilities Diverse structural steel and building projects Opportunities for professional growth and advancement A collaborative environment connecting engineering, detailing, fabrication and construction
