  • Grow our team: Mentor junior and intermediate engineers, helping them advance their technical and project management skills through coaching and formal development plans.
  • Enhance design practices: Collaborate with peers and CAD leaders to improve workflows and design standards across the organization.

What You Bring

  • Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) with at least 10 years of experience, registered and in good standing with PEO.

This is your chance to kickstart your career by working on meaningful projects that impact communities. At Burnside, we prioritize mentorship and foster an environment where you can learn, grow, and thrive. You'll join a team that values innovation, teamwork, and a passion for the environment.

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Contributing to the growth and development of a new office in Thunder Bay.
  • Meaningful, community-focused projects across the North and West Region.
  • Supportive environment where collaboration and knowledge-sharing are encouraged.
