Job summary

Acuren Group is recruiting an Engineer in Training (EIT) to join our Structural Engineering team. You will develop hands-on expertise in structural integrity assessment, fitness-for-service evaluations, and field inspection programs — working directly with clients across industrial facilities, plant sites, and civil infrastructure.

Under mentorship, you will grow toward independent project leadership and professional certification responsibilities.

Qualifications

• University degree in Civil or Structural Engineering; Mechanical Engineering considered with relevant structural coursework.
• Membership in, or eligibility for, the applicable provincial engineering association (P.Eng. in progress); registration as an EIT required.
• Genuine interest in structural integrity and inspection work; prior co-op or project experience in structural analysis, industrial inspection, or a related field is an asset.
• Familiarity with structural engineering standards (e.g., NBCC, CSA S16, ACI 318) and exposure to pressure equipment or mechanical standards (API, ASME) is a plus.
• Proficiency in structural analysis software and/or FEA tools is an asset.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce clear, client-ready technical reports.

Responsibilities

• Travel to client sites to lead and oversee structural inspection programs for industrial structures, buildings, platforms, and civil infrastructure.
• Perform condition assessments of steel, concrete, and wood structures, identifying deficiencies and recommending remediation strategies.
• Conduct and support lifting equipment inspections (cranes, hoists, rigging, and custom lifting fixtures) in accordance with ASME B30 and applicable provincial standards; progress toward signing off on lifting equipment inspection certifications.
• Operate in industrial environments including refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities; field travel up to 50% of the time depending on client scheduling.
• Support fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments for structural systems and mechanical equipment — including storage tanks, pressure vessels, and pipelines — in accordance with API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 and related standards.
• Develop and apply finite element analysis (FEA) models to evaluate structural integrity under various loading conditions (pressure, gravity, thermal, displacement).
• Assist with structural analysis and design for rehabilitation, repair, and load-upgrade projects.
• Integrate field inspection data (LiDAR scans, UT thickness, NDT results) into engineering models to support accurate, defensible assessments.
• Act as site lead on structural inspection projects, managing field activities, client communication, and timely report delivery.
• Prepare professional engineering reports documenting findings, analysis, and recommendations.
• Proactively understand client requirements and identify opportunities for additional Acuren services.
• Follow up with clients on implementation of recommendations and support ongoing inspection program planning.
• Manage work within budget and schedule, ensuring efficient use of resources.
