ACCIONA is a global leader in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy, delivering innovative, forward-thinking solutions in over 40 countries. We're proud to be shaping some of the most complex and transformative infrastructure projects in North America.

In partnership with Metrolinx, ACCIONA is playing a key role in the design and construction of the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE), a 9.2-kilometre westward addition to Toronto's Line 5 light rail transit network. This major infrastructure project includes seven new stations and installation of rail and systems under a progressive design-build model.

Beyond its technical scope, the ECWE project represents a significant investment in sustainable urban mobility, expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 5,800 tonnes annually and eliminate over 6.5 million vehicle trips each year when combined with the full Line 5.

This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic, multidisciplinary team on a complex, high-value project that supports long-term regional growth and environmental sustainability.

If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and advance your career with a global infrastructure leader,

The Geotechnical Technical Coordinator will support the technical delivery and coordination of geotechnical activities across the ECWE SRS project.

Reporting to the Geotechnical & Foundations Technical Lead, the Geotechnical Technical Coordinator will coordinate geotechnical design inputs, investigations, technical reviews, construction support, construction impact assessment, instrumentation and monitoring, geotechnical records, and interfaces between geotechnical consultants, designers, construction teams, subcontractors, and other technical disciplines.

The position will support geotechnical requirements across underground stations, excavations, tunnels, portals, emergency exit buildings, elevated guideway foundations, utility works, temporary works, and other infrastructure within the SRS scope.

The successful candidate will have practical experience in geotechnical engineering coordination within major civil infrastructure, transportation, transit, tunnelling, excavation, foundation, or construction projects. The role requires a strong understanding of geotechnical principles and the ability to translate technical requirements into coordinated constructible solutions.
