• Observing and reporting on infractions of safety, security, and operational procedures.
• Assisting in resolving construction-related issues and ensuring contract compliance.
• Tracking change notices for the completion of as-constructed drawings.
• Assisting in the project closeout phase, including certificates of substantial completion and as-builts.
• Coordinating and conducting inspections to verify compliance with contract documents.
• Reviewing the quality of contractor work and reporting to clients.
• Ensuring contract compliance with technical plans and specifications.

What you will bring to our firm:

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering or a related field.
• OACETT Designation (C.E.T, C.Tech, A.Sc.T).
• A minimum of 3-5 years in construction engineering, including field construction and contract administration in the Toronto, ON/GTA area.
• Experience with Class 1 Railway and working within a right-of-way is an asset.
• Valid driver’s license and personal vehicle in good working order.

What we prefer you bring:

• Demonstrated supervisory experience on construction sites, with a focus on transit, commercial, and municipal infrastructure projects.
• Experience in resolving claims and a strong understanding of health and safety codes and regulations.
• Proficiency in MS Word, Excel, and Outlook.
• Knowledge of federal, provincial, and local laws relevant to transit operations.
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Flexibility to travel to construction sites for extended periods and work outside of normal business hours.
