- Prepare and revise layout plans, component details, and construction drawings
- Work alongside the permitting team to ensure designs comply with local, provincial, and federal regulations (Section 11, Crown Land Tenure, etc.)
- Provide design support to project manager during builds
- Maintain standard drawing libraries and support proposals with diagrams, renderings, and 3D models
What We're Looking For
- Highly self-motivated and able to prioritize tasks, manage deadlines, and work independents
- Diploma or certificate in Engineering Design, Drafting, Construction Estimating, or related field
- Proficient in SketchUp (2D required; 3D and AutoCAD are strong assets)
- Understanding of marine, civil, or structural construction methods
- Experience with material estimating, takeoffs, or project costing (or willingness to learn)
- Ability to read and interpret site plans, surveys, and geotechnical reports
- Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple projects
- Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively
Preferred Assets (Not Required)
- Experience with pile driving (pipe piles, helical piles, sheet piles)
- Background in marine construction
- Familiarity with heavy timber, aluminum, or steel frame construction
Why Join Shoreline?
- Competitive pay and extended benefits
- Work on diverse, high-profile waterfront projects throughout the Okanagan
- Great opportunity to grow in estimating, design, permitting, or project coordination
- Supportive, team-first culture with a flexible and casual environment
