Junior or Intermediate Bridge Engineer

Job Description

Are you a Junior or Intermediate Bridge Engineer interested in creatively solving the challenging problems that our clients pose? Does a wide variety of work such as bridge inspections, specialty pedestrian bridge design, and difficult construction staging analysis interest you? How about being a part of a strong and growing integrated multidisciplinary design team with lots of opportunity to take on new responsibilities and grow your career? If so, we want to hear from you

ISL is seeking Junior and Intermediate Bridge Engineers to join our expanding transportation structures team in our beautiful Burnaby, BC office. The scope for the role depends on your experience level, but in all cases, the focus will be to continue the growth of ISL's transportation structures engineering services in Western Canada, which vary from standalone bridge design or inspection projects, to coordinated multidisciplinary projects in support of our strong transportation engineering group. Regardless of your experience level, you will be provided with a tight-knit group of dedicated engineers and technicians and a mentoring, motivational, and collaborative environment to thrive.

A Little About Us
At ISL, we share an enthusiasm for community infrastructure. From planning through to design and construction management, we create nimble teams to tackle the unique requirements of every project. In addition to bridges and other structures, our technical expertise encompasses transportation, land use planning, civil engineering, municipal, landscape architecture, heritage services, environmental management, water, community engagement, geomatics, construction services and 3D visualization.

Just the right size, ISL delivers complex projects while being small enough to maintain strong, cohesive project teams and personal client attention and service. When it comes to bridges and other structures, ISL's strongest niches include challenging pedestrian bridge design, particularly those with complicated construction staging or remote access; mass-timber bridges of all styles; the inspection of all kinds of bridge structures, from long-span tied arches to mountain trail bridges at high altitudes; and the retrofit and rehabilitation of bridges, both for seismic and condition purposes.

ISL's team of 550 engineers, technicians, and other professionals works to deliver excellence for our clients, both internal and external. Committed to finding, mentoring, and growing the right individual, our team-focused approach is central to our success:
