• Ensure “as‑built” and “as‑installed” documentation is completed before revenue service.
• Work night, weekend and holiday shifts as required by operational needs and site access.

Qualifications

• Engineering degree in Civil Engineering.
• Excellent knowledge of Geotechnical investigations and Subsurface Utility Engineering.
• Certified in AutoCAD and/or other design tools (desirable).

• 5+ years of experience on railway construction projects.
• Local knowledge of the rail infrastructure in the Greater Toronto Area (desirable).
• Familiarity with Environmental, Health and Safety standards.
• Proficiency in BIM, AutoCAD, or MicroStation to create/modify 2D drawings (desirable).

• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and negotiation skills.
• Ability to work in office and field environments under seasonal conditions, adhering to safety rules.
• Flexibility to work at night and weekends.

Benefits

• Stability, challenges, and a long‑term career free from monotonous routines.
• Work with cutting‑edge security standards for rail signalling.
• Collaborate with diverse and supportive colleagues across teams.
• Contribute to innovative projects that shape the future of mobility.
• Utilise our flexible and collaborative working environment.

• Fair and dynamic reward package recognising performance and potential, plus comprehensive social coverage (life, medical, pension).
