You'll inspire multidisciplinary teams, foster a culture of collaboration and creativity, and position Egis as a market leader in municipal roadway engineering. From complete streets and multimodal corridors to intersection improvements, streetscape design, and municipal servicing, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the evolution of Ontario's communities and public spaces.

You will oversee and motivate teams based in Ottawa and the GTHA, supporting delivery of transformative projects that enhance safety, accessibility, and mobility. Your leadership will help Egis push the boundaries of innovation while delivering the practical, high-impact infrastructure that cities rely on every day.
