  • Supporting construction inspectors in the field and contract administrators in the office to become familiar with construction techniques and adapt to unexpected challenges encountered during construction;
  • Working under the guidance of senior project managers and senior engineers across the company to further develop technical skills;
  • Collaborating with and contributing to project teams (sometimes across other offices) to ensure successful project delivery meeting the client’s needs;
  • Involved with the preparation of proposals, project reports, design documents, and permit applications;
  • Mentoring and assisting in the development of engineering students, engineers-in-training and junior project engineers/technologists; and
  • Other duties as assigned.

Professional Knowledge, Skills & Qualifications

The following qualifications, experience and skills are required:

  • An engineering degree in a related discipline;
  • Licensed as a Professional Engineer in Ontario;
  • A minimum of 5 to 10 years of experience with municipal linear infrastructure design, contract administration and client relationships;
  • Knowledge of municipal and provincial approval processes and relevant agency and industry standards, guidelines and best practices;
  • Strong communication, written and analytical skills; and
  • Excellent organization with the ability to multi-task and work on a number of projects concurrently.

The following experience and skills are considered assets:

  • Understanding of and/or experience with AutoCAD, Civil 3D and MicroStation;
  • MS Office and MS Project.
  • Experience with trenchless construction (e.g., horizontal auger boring, horizontal directional drilling, microtunneling, etc.)
