About the role
About us
Since 1983, Imperial Metal has strived to become a one-stop shop. By offering a complete Structural, Miscellaneous, and Custom Metal Fabrication solution, we strive to make the building process less complicated.
We are seeking a licensed Structural Engineer to join our team and collaborate in the design of structural steel connections for a variety of industrial and commercial projects.
Structural Steel Engineer
The Structural Steel Engineer is integral to our engineering operations, bridging the gap between conceptual design and fabrication-ready solutions. The ideal candidate is not only technically strong in connection design but also thrives in a collaborative environment, working closely with our drafting team and project stakeholders to deliver efficient, safe, and code-compliant designs.
Reporting to: Drafting Manager
Key Responsibilities
-
Perform and approve structural steel connection designs in accordance with applicable codes and standards.
-
Review project drawings and collaborate with drafters/ detailers/ modelers to ensure clear, buildable, and structurally sound connection details.
-
Stamp and sign engineering drawings and calculations, ensuring accuracy, code compliance, and engineering best practices.
-
Communicate and collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams and clients to resolve design challenges efficiently.
-
Participate in design review meetings and assist in the coordination between engineering, fabrication, and erection/site teams.
-
Stay informed on updates to engineering codes, materials, and connection methodologies.
-
Support shop and field teams by responding to RFIs and providing clarifications as needed during fabrication and installation.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering from an accredited institution.
- Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng) in good standing in Manitoba or eligible for immediate registration.
- Minimum 3–5 years of experience in structural engineering with a focus on structural steel and connection design.
- Strong understanding of steel connection types (bolted, welded, moment, shear, etc.) and their applications in fabrication and erection.
- Proficient with structural analysis software (e.g., RISA, STAAD, S-Frame) and hand calculations.
- Familiar with CAD or 3D modeling software (Tekla, PowerFab, or AutoCAD) and how engineering designs are translated into shop drawings.
- Demonstrated ability to review and seal engineering documents and design reports.
- Excellent communication skills – able to explain complex technical details to non-engineering personnel and collaborate effectively with the drafting department.
- Experience working in a steel fabrication or detailing environment.
- Previous experience conducting structural site inspections or reviews.
- Familiarity with building envelope connections, pre-engineered structures, or industrial framing systems.
- Knowledge of Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) standards is an asset.
- Project management or team lead experience is a bonus.
