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

Responsibilities

The Consultant Engineer identifies and evaluates hazards associated with boilers, machinery, and equipment while consulting with clients in Canada. During on-site client visits, he or she performs machinery risk assessments to evaluate risks to boilers, pressure vessels, turbines, and other capital machinery, as well as electrical equipment and utilities to provide consultative recommendations to help minimize risks from associated equipment. 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.

This territory has a wide variety of challenging occupancies, primarily including forest products, power generation, mining, chemical, printing, offices, retail, and telecommunications. The successful candidate will be expected to reside in the Greater Vancouver Area.

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.

Qualifications

• 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.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.

P.Eng. license or be an Engineer in Training.

Member of the Engineers & Geoscientists British Columbia (EGBA) or of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA).

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.
