To do so, we rely on a dynamic, culturally diverse group of employees, working in more than 100 countries, in a variety of challenging roles.

Join our Vancouver Engineering team now as a Consultant Engineer - Boiler and Machinery!

The Consultant Engineer identifies and evaluates hazards associated with boilers, machinery and equipment while consulting with clients in Canada.

Additionally, he or she may also perform in-service jurisdictional inspections of boilers and pressure vessels.

The candidate will be working with minimal supervision, conducting office responsibilities from a home office, working independently as well as being a member of a team.

Extensive training will be provided to maximize the candidate’s expertise and experience to work with large, complex industrial facilities focusing on specific business segments such as pulp & paper, mining, power generation, chemical, and molten materials (iron, steel, aluminum, and glass working). To stay abreast of new developments, the consultant engineer is provided with frequent technical training that involves independent and classroom study. Qualified candidates can expect constant challenge, professional growth, and personal responsibility.

Skills and competencies

• Can use current technology including software products to analyze and document engineering recommendations and services.
• Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills are a must. Excellent communication skills both verbal and written.
• Ability to effectively convey ideas to individuals and groups, including executives, plant managers, engineers, and technical personnel.
• Attention to detail, making engineering judgments, accommodating both internal and external customers' needs.
• Efficient time management with minimal supervision.
• Hold a valid driver’s license and be allowed to travel to the United States.

Experience

A minimum of 3 years of experience within the high challenge industries and the manufacturing domain with predictive and preventive maintenance practices. Experience within the mining, pulp and paper, or power generation industry would be an asset.

The hiring range for this position is $78,500 to $112,800. The final salary offer will vary based on individual education, skills, and experience.
