- Develop, analyze, review, and approve structural designs, calculations, drawings, specifications, and technical reports
- Apply expertise in foundations, steel structures, concrete design, and modularized systems
- Ensure designs meet applicable codes, standards, and client specifications (CSA, CISC, NBC, provincial codes; experience with US or Australian codes and standards considered an asset)
Team Leadership & Collaboration
- Coordinate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure structural designs are fully integrated with process, piping, electrical, and mechanical disciplines
- Lead and mentor junior engineers and designers, supporting technical development and knowledge sharing
- Provide technical guidance and oversight to ensure consistent, high-quality deliverables
Project Execution & Delivery
- Manage civil/structural deliverables, schedules, and budgets to support on-time and on-budget project execution
- Support project bidding, procurement, and construction phases with technical input and evaluations
- Conduct design reviews, constructability assessments, and risk analyses to proactively identify and mitigate issues
Construction & Field Support
- Perform site assessments and inspections as required
- Provide engineering support during construction, responding to field queries and resolving technical challenges
- Ensure designs are practical, buildable, and aligned with safety and quality standards
Safety, Quality & Compliance
